50:31

Send us a text In this episode of Religious Folly, we dive into the fascinating history of Christmas and its modern-day traditions—many of which have little to do with the actual birth of Jesus. Did you know that the Bible doesn’t specify a December birthdate for Christ? So, where did December 25th come from? And why do we celebrate Christmas with a mix of pagan rituals, medieval myths, and modern consumerism? Join us as we explore the origins of Christmas. We’ll also take a closer look at how the date was chosen, why it’s probably not Jesus’s actual birthday, and what all this tells us about the evolution of religious and cultural practices. Tune in for a fun, fact-filled discussion on the true history of Christmas and why the holiday’s origins may not be as holy—or as historic—as we’ve been led to believe. Listen now, and unwrap the truth about Christmas!…
