Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Luke 2:11 "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."

The concept of ChristMass combines 'Christ' and 'Mass,' emphasizing that Christmas is not just a festive occasion but a profound celebration of Christ as the ultimate gift to humanity. The OCR content defines Christmas as "CHRIST the Gift given to the MASS of Humanity," underscoring this spiritual meaning. In Isaiah 9:6, we are reminded of the prophetic promise of a Child born to bring divine governance and titles such as Wonderful Counselor and Prince of Peace, symbolizing hope and guidance for all. Luke 2:11 announces the birth of the Savior—Christ the Lord—highlighting the historical and spiritual significance of Christmas as the moment God entered human history to offer redemption.
