I can't answer that, J.P., because I cannot recall any special response
to it. Sometimes such things as short prayers and greetings are
preserved in the diaspora, so I am passing your query to SEANCHAS-L, to
see if anyone there can help.

My Irish is painfully little. My mother had English only, but for
prayers, yet she always called Epiphany "Little Christmas."
Is there a response to the greeting.?
E.g Orthodox Chriistians.,, after Christmas Eve use the greeting
"Christ is born.' You answer "truly He is born."
