The Feast of Christmas Quotes

“because Christians believed that the death of a holy person was a new birth in heaven, and they honored that date.”
― Joseph Kelly, The Feast of Christmas

“Many people think that the church simply took over a pagan holiday, but that is not so. As Sextus Julius Africanus had shown, there were good reasons for celebrating the feast of Christ’s birth on December 25, and sun and light symbolism played a very great role in Christian worship.”
― Joseph Kelly, The Feast of Christmas
