Christmas Spirit

Around the world, more than 3 billion people celebrate Christmas! Our goal is

to share the way we celebrate Christmas with people of all religions, cultures

and backgrounds. Christmas is ultimately about the the celebration of the birth

of Jesus and together we can enhance the celebration of the holiday season

for everyone.

Faith & Spirituality

Presented below is a collection of

items that reflect upon our Faith

and Spirituality during the holiday

season.

The Origins of Christmas ~ Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus

Christ. Born nearly two thousand years ago, Christians believe Him to be

the Son of God.

Swept Up in Joy ~ "I remember absent-mindedly kneeling in the pew after

returning from communion. Lost in a haze, I focused not on the holiday or

the sacrament but on my fears about what the next few days would bring."

God's Impossible Truth ~ "How often during these days of holiday prepa-

rations do we hear people say, "This is what the season is all about!"

Maybe we say it ourselves: Through a misting of tears, perhaps, as we look

over our family gathered at the table. Or at the end of a well-sung Christmas

concert."

Christmas Prayer ~ "Christmas has never been my favorite time of year.

I've always experienced conflict between the zillions of things that I had

to do and the "silent night" of the shepherds."

History of Hannukah ~ "Hanukkah, or Chanukah, meaning

"dedication" in Hebrew, refers to the joyous eight-day celebration during

which Jews commemorate liberation and "rededication" of the Temple in

Jerusalem in 165 B.C.E. (Before Common Era). In 2003-2004, Hanukkah

begins on Saturday, December 20.
