Listen "403 Yule and Christmas: Finding Christ in the Traditions"
Episode Synopsis
Wednesday, December 18: In this episode of The Daily Grind, we explore the fascinating history behind some of our most cherished Christmas traditions. From the ancient Viking celebration of Yule to the fusion of pagan and Christian customs, we uncover the roots of practices like the Yule log, Christmas trees, and even the image of Santa Claus. You'll learn how figures like King Haakon the Good helped align these celebrations with the birth of Christ, creating a holiday that bridges cultures and beliefs. But what does this history mean for us as Christians today? Drawing from 1 Corinthians 10:25-28, we’ll discuss how to approach these traditions in a way that honors Jesus while respecting their origins. Join us as we reflect on how to keep Christ at the center of Christmas, ensuring our celebrations display His love and truth to our families and neighbors.
