In a world where the true meaning of Christmas is often overshadowed by commercialism and misconceptions, this episode embarks on a journey to reclaim the holiday's Christian origins. We'll delve into the historical context of Christmas, tracing its roots back to the early Church and the celebration of Jesus Christ's birth.
By examining scripture, historical records, and the evolution of Christmas traditions, we'll debunk the popular notion that Christmas is merely a repurposed pagan festival. We'll explore how early Christians thoughtfully chose the date of December 25th, not to coincide with pagan celebrations, but to align with theological symbolism and astronomical events.
