coincide with the solstice winter, a long period of celebrations honoring the "rebirth" of the sun: the days begin to lengthen, marking the slow route to the spring, with the hope and the hope of abundant harvests and food for all. So the ancient Egyptians celebrated the birth of the god Horus, the god Dionysus, the Greeks, the Scandinavians the god Frey. The Romans celebrated Saturn, the god of agriculture, with great solemnity in which friends and family would exchange gifts.
Christians replaced the pagan feast of the birth of Jesus, the son of God, bearer of peace and salvation for humanity, preserving the old traditions, the spirit of joy and hope that carries the divine light in every heart .
For this Christmas greeting in the world of goodness, peace and happiness to share with "all men of good will." |
