Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins of Christmas, revealing its fascinating history that predates Christianity. The author traces its roots to ancient harvest festivals celebrated by Northern European pagans, where the sacrifice of a deity ensured a bountiful harvest the following year. The Romans also had a midwinter feast called Brumalia, characterized by revelry and indulgence. Over time, as Christianity spread, the early Church incorporated elements of these pagan festivals into the celebration of Christ's birth, resulting in the Christmas traditions we know today. This insightful exploration uncovers the surprising pagan influences that shaped the beloved holiday, shedding light on its complex evolution and enduring significance.
