Description

A great stocking filler! Christmas Past offers the intriguing stories behind why and how we celebrate Christmas. Did you know: Santa and Father Christmas are not one and the same person? Jesus was probably born seven years before the date we have set for his birth? Christmas, by another name, was celebrated before it became part of the Christian calendar? The « Star of Bethlehem » was arguably not a star at all but a conjunction of two important planets? There was an astrological prediction, heralding the arrival of a warrior king/messiah, that was made back in ancient times, well before Jesus was born?

Whether you did or didn’t know the answers to these questions, I’m sure you’ll find the exploration around them of interest, food for thought. This beautifully compact book contains six commentaries that cover: The way we tend to treat Christmas now. Who was Father Christmas, or Santa Claus? What lies behind the time of year chosen for Christmas. If another infant birth could have been born at this time of year – and before Jesus. The gospels for their take on the Magi, and the birth of Jesus. And the Star of Bethlehem from an astrological perspective.
