    Just as an aside, the PRemonstratensian liturgy (even the revised) started the O Antiphons yesterday, there being one extra on 23rd December:

    O Virgo virginum
    quomodo fiet istud?
    Quia nec primam similem visa es
    nec habere sequentem.
    Filiae Ierusalem,
    quid me admiramini?
    Divinum est mysterium hoc quod cernitis.

    I believe the Sarum rite also used this O Antiphon?

    Blessings!

    Yes, this is one of those nice mediæval items that one finds in various rites.

    I've tracked down a number of such supernumerary O Antiphons, about which I'll post presently...

    Thanks, Fr Martin!
