The King's Christmas Feast 

The Feast Greeting --- a greeting from 1513

The greeting below was penned almost 500 years ago, in 1513, by Friar Giovanni. It remains a meaningful Christmas greeting that spans all time.

There is nothing I can give you that you do not already have.

But there is much that, while I cannot give it,
you can take.

No heaven can come to us 
unless our hearts find rest in today.

Take Heaven!

No peace lies in the future 
which is not hidden in this present instant.

Take Peace!

The gloom of the world is but a shadow.

Behind it, yet within our reach is joy.

There is radiance and joy in the darkness,
could we but see.

And to see we have only to look.

And so, at this time, I greet you.

Not quite as the world sends greetings,
but with profound esteem.

Fra Giovanni, 1513
