# Matins reading for the Vigil of Christmas (Dec 24, when it's not itself
# Advent 4's own Sunday) -- read directly from the reference engine's
# Sancti/12-24.txt (Lectio1, Latin) and English/Sancti/12-24.txt (Lectio1,
# English): the day's Gospel pericope (Matt 1:18-21, given in full, not a
# bare incipit) plus St. Jerome's homily on it. Same single-nocturn Vigil
# shape as vigil-of-st-john-the-baptist.yml -- `nocturn: 1`, matching the
# Ember-day convention for a ferial day's one real nocturn (see
# hours/matins.ts's own nocturnReadingIds doc comment).

        Quare non de símplici vírgine, sed de desponsáta concípitur? Primum, ut per generatiónem
        Joseph, orígo Maríæ monstrarétur: secúndo, ne lapidarétur a Judǽis ut adúltera: tértio, ut
        in Ægýptum fúgiens habéret solátium. Martyr Ignátius étiam quartam áddidit causam, cur a
        desponsáta concéptus sit: Ut partus, ínquiens, ejus celarétur diábolo, dum eum putat non de
        vírgine, sed de uxóre generátum.

        Why was the Lord conceived of an espoused virgin rather than of a free? First, for the
        sake of the genealogy of Mary, which we have obtained by that of Joseph. Secondly, because
        she was thus saved from being stoned by the Jews as an adulteress. Thirdly, that Himself
        and His mother might have a guardian on their journey into Egypt. To these, Ignatius, the
        martyr of Antioch, has added a fourth reason namely, that the birth might take place
        unknown to the devil, who would naturally suppose that Mary had conceived by Joseph.
