I saw a lovely sentiment about the reason for the season being a virgin birth. It isn't for me. It's the long, dark night. That night covered many religions, many cultures, world wide. When you grow your grain, winter is death. Some cultures had their elders walk into the long dark night, as an act of love. It meant more food was in the grain stores, for the children who had their life ahead of them, a personal sacrifice for the future of those who have not lived yet. It's why Christians didn't
steal this from the pagans. This long, dark night, and the survival of it, that was hope for all religions, all cultures, the world wide. It's why it's a time for hope. The light gets longer. The sun has been reborn. Yes, Christians. Have it. It is yours. It is mine. It is ours, the world over. We lived. We all did. It is our victory, world wide.
