O Antiphons

For anyone who was wondering about the messages that I posted over the days from 16-23 December, you can read about them at this Wikipedia page describing the Great O Antiphons. They are a series of prayers celebrating some of the attributes of Christ mentioned in scripture, and are believed to have been used since the early days of the Church. The hymn O Come, O Come, Emmanuel is a paraphrase of them.
