Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how Nativité appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Parmi les douze grandes Fêtes de l’Église orthodoxe, quatre lui sont consacrées (sa Nativité, sa Présentation au Temple, l’Annonciation et sa Dormition), dont la première et la dernière des douze. Pareil symbolisme s'avère du plus haut intérêt.
Postérieurs à l’Itinerarium, les lectionnaires arméniens ont été cependant composés uniquement en fonction d'une célébration de la Nativité du Christ. Les lectionnaires géorgiens, témoins du rite hiérosolymitain de la fin du Vᵉ siècle au VIIIᵉ, associent à cette célébration la commémoration du baptême du Christ.
