The Old Testament title for Jesus on December 22 is: O Rex Gentium, or in English: O King of the nations.

"He shall judge between the nations, and shall arbitrate for many peoples; they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore." Isaiah 2:4

Come and save the human race,
which you fashioned from clay.
Peace
