This book explores the origins, traditions, and evolution of Christmas, examining both Christian and pagan influences. It delves into the religious aspects of the holiday, including its liturgical practices, hymns, and dramatic representations, while also tracing the survival of pre-Christian winter festivals and customs. The text provides a comprehensive analysis of rituals such as the Yule log, Christmas decorations, gift-giving, feasting, and the roles of figures like Santa Claus and St. Nicholas. The author also investigates cultural practices across various countries and historical periods, offering insights into how Christmas has been celebrated and transformed over time. Written for both general readers and scholars, the book combines folklore, history, and theology to present a detailed study of the holiday's multifaceted traditions. |
