Thanks Padre. And to you as well.



So many don't realize that a lot of Christian holidays were "scheduled" to offset or coincide with other culture's celebrations.

If the Shepherds were tending their flocks by night, Jesus was born in the Spring, not at the Winter Solstice. It's a little bit of ancient paganism, a bit of the cult of Mithras, a bit of Bronze Age astronomy/astrology to have it at the Solstice.

But hey, it still works two millenia later.
