On the Morning of Christ's Nativity is a nativity ode written by John Milton in 1629 and published in his Poems of Mr. John Milton (1645). The poem describes Christ's Incarnation and his overthrow of earthly and pagan powers. The poem also connects the Incarnation with Christ's Crucifixion. The poem deals with both the Nativity and the Incarnation of Christ and Milton believed that the two were connected. The Nativity and the Crucifixion represent Christ's purpose as Christ in Milton's poetry, and contemporary poem, because Christ becomes human-like in the Nativity to redeem fallen man and humanity is redeemed when Christ sacrifices himself during the Crucifixion. Milton's reliance on the connection is traditional, and Milton further connects the Nativity with the creation of the world, a theme that is expanded upon later in Book VII of Paradise Lost. Like the other two poems of the set and like other poems at the time, the ode describes a narrator within the poem and experiencing the Nativity.

«Потерянный рай» – гениальная поэма Мильтона, благодаря которой он стал одним из известнейших английских поэтов своего времени. Поэма основана на библейском сюжете падения человека и изгнания его из Рая. Как писал Мильтон в Книге Первой, его цель состояла в том, чтобы оправдать путь Бога людям (в оригинале «justify the ways of God to men»). Поэма представлена в переводе Николая Холодковского.
