The "O" Antiphons

If you know the traditional song "O Come, O Come Emmanuel", you may be familiar with the O Antiphons... a series of ancient names for Jesus, describing his various roles in our salvation story.

Here are the antiphons, one for every day in the week leading up to Christmas, beginning today.

And if you would like to follow a daily reflection on the antiphons, please click on "O Antiphons" in the label list along the right column of this page, or go to December 2009 or 2010 in the blog archive and click for each date.
