Arise Arjuna Foundation - The Bhagwad Gita
Episode 105 - Gita - Field Trip: A Fascinating History of Christmas
11 Dec 2020
We are so excited about E105 we decided to skip ahead and release it early. The doctor tells us the history of Christmas and its traditions. The story starts well before the birth of Christ, however, beginning with Hinduism and ancient Indian wars that sent Indians and their culture west towards the Middle East, Greece, Rome, Egypt, and even England and Scandanavia. We learn how Christmas settled on December 25th, how St. Nick and gift-giving became part of our modern holiday, who the "pagans" were, how Christmas trees and ornaments came to be and how the influence of India echos through all of it. This will be a great addition to your holiday celebration!
