This week, Peter and Leslie continue a short series on the Advent and Christmas Seasons. The Doanes give a historical and theological background for our celebration of Christmas and the Christmas Season. Many have bought into the narrative that Christmas is celebrated on December 25 to replace a pagan holiday. To the surprise of many, this may not be historically accurate! Early Church writings indicate something different. Along with its history, Christmas celebrates one of the great dogmas of the Catholic Faith- the Incarnation. This week, we discuss exactly why the Faithful bow before the Lord at every Mass on Sunday when we confess, "For us men and our salvation He came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man." May we all keep the Feast with great vigor and understanding!
