Abstract
The Sermo de festis, preserved in Georgian and attributed to the Emperor Justinian (CPG 6892), conflates two anonymous works: a homily on the Annunciation and a defence of Christmas (probably against the Nativity-Epiphany feast of the Armenians) dating from between the 5th-6th and 9th-10th centuries respectively. The letter of the Armenian bishop Gregory Artsruni (6th century), on the basis of which this conflicted sermon was erroneously identified as a letter of Justinian to Jerusalem in 560, is itself of dubious authenticity.
