Christ's Birth City
Luke 2:11
For to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.


— The Athenians were proud of Pompey's love, that he would write his name a citizen of their city. For a princely person to accept a freedom in a mean corporation is no little kindness; how much more doth it aggravate the love of Christ to come from heaven, and be made a citizen of this vile earth, to be born after a more vile condition than the most abject of the people.

(Bishop Hacker.)
