The festive season is upon us once again, but have you ever wondered what Santa Claus has been up to for the 364 days leading to the one day we all celebrate?
Christmas is a multifaceted occasion, blending the Christian commemoration of Jesus’ birth with pre-existing pagan winter solstice festivals.
Over time, many ancient traditions were “Christianised” to symbolise Christ as the “Light of the World” and the rebirth of hope. While some Christians avoid the celebration due to its pagan origins, others embrace it as a meaningful, culturally adapted way to honour Christ.
This week on The Real Talk, a podcast hosted Elizabeth Essuman, she is joined by Pan-Africanist Avraham Ben Moshey and Apostle Daniel J.Y. Adjei to examine the true significance and core Christian meaning of the incarnation, often emphasised over the festive season’s historical pagan connections.
The episode presents a deep, respectful, and thought-provoking scripture-to-scripture dialogue. The discussion navigates historical parallels, biblical explanations, and similarities between ancient pagan festivals and modern Christmas practices, challenging listeners to reflect on the Christian narrative surrounding the celebration.
Whether you view Christmas as pagan, demonic, or a rich and meaningful occasion to honour God, this episode provides reflections and food for thought, wrapped in festive cheer.
