Christmas
“Long before the Christian religion made December 25th the day of Christ’s birth, this day was the festival of the return of the sun, the Day of Light. It is this very ancient symbol of the rebirth of the Light that we wish to celebrate here.”[1]
(Significances of the gifts offered by the three Magi to Jesus at the time of his birth)
