T'is The Season

A Time For Celebration...

 

Christmas (Old English: Crīstesmæsse, meaning "Christ's Mass") is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ and a widely observed holiday, celebrated generally on December 25 by millions of people around the world.

 

A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it closes the Advent season and initiates the twelve days of Christmastide. Christmas is celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians.

 

Derived from Greek Khrīstos (Χριστός), a translation of Hebrew Māšîaḥ (מָשִׁיחַ), "Messiah"; and mæsse is from Latin missa, the celebration of the Eucharist.

 

- The earliest Hymn and music is: Corde natus ex Parentis -

It is also a time, to consider those less fortunate in our Global Village.

 

 

“When you meet a man who is broken, pick him up and carry him. When you meet a woman who’s broken, put her all into your arms. 'Cause we don’t know where we come from … we don’t know where we are. ”

― Laurie Anderson
