Quiet purple ground for this haori covered in matsu (pine) branches.

It's paired with kimono and hakama in matching tones with silvery details.

GLORIA IN PROFUNDIS

G.K. Chesterton

There has fallen on earth for a token A god too great for the sky. He has burst out of all things and broken The bounds of eternity: Into time and the terminal land He has strayed like a thief or a lover, For the wine of the world brims over, Its splendour is spilt on the sand. Who is proud when the heavens are humble, Who mounts if the mountains fall, If the fixed stars topple and tumble And a deluge of love drowns all- Who rears up his head for a crown, Who holds up his will for a warrant, Who strives with the starry torrent, When all that is good goes down? For in dread of such falling and failing The fallen angels fell Inverted in insolence, scaling The hanging mountain of hell: But unmeasured of plummet and rod Too deep for their sight to scan, Outrushing the fall of man Is the height of the fall of God. Glory to God in the Lowest The spout of the stars in spate- Where thunderbolt thinks to be slowest And the lightning fears to be late: As men dive for sunken gem Pursuing, we hunt and hound it, The fallen star has found it In the cavern of Bethlehem.

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; for he has come to his people and set them free.

He has raised up for us a mighty savior, born of the house of his servant David.

Through his holy prophets he promised of old that he would save us from our enemies, and from the hands of all who hate us.

He promised to show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant.

This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham: to set us free from the hand of our enemies, free to worship him without fear, holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life.

You, child, shall be called prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, to give his people knowledge of salvation by forgiveness of their sins.

In the tender compassion of our God, the dawn from on high shall break upon us, to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Bóg się rodzi - a.k.a. Pieśń o Narodzeniu Pańskim - famous Polish kolęda written by Franciszek Karpiński around 1792. Due to its poetic beauty and teological depth it is often considered the queen of Polish Christmas carols.

Here’s English translation:

God is born, all might is shaken He the Heaven’s King lies naked. The living Word knows brightness darkened, He the Limitless takes limit. Born disdained, yet worship given, Mortal, yet the Lord eternal. And the Word became flesh And dwelt among us What hast thou, O Heaven better, God abandoned the perfection Here to share the trial and sorrow Of His poor, beloved people. Suffered much and suffered dearly, For we all were guilty sinners, And the Word became flesh And dwelt among us Born into a common stable, He is cradled in a manger. How then tell me what surrounds you Kine and peace and simple shepherds. You were ones who had the honor Him to greet, and kings came bowing. And the Word became flesh And dwelt among us Then the Kings welcome Hurled between simplicity, Bringing gifts to the Lord as a gift Myrrh, frankincense and gold. Deity is all confused With rustic gifts. And the Word became flesh And dwelt among us Raise your hand, the Divine Child, Bless the Motherland nice! The good counsel and well-being Support the power of his might. Our home and all possessions, And all the villages to the cities. And the Word became flesh And dwelt among us

Has anybody else noticed that it seems that nobody tells children fairytales anymore? It seems that they only read them books or have them watch movies; oral storytelling appears to have vanished. Perhaps it’s just in my area, but it has quite literally been years since my friends, family, and I have met a child who has even referenced a fairytale character that didn’t appear in a Disney movie.
