PHILOXENIA # Christmas around the world - May Your Christmas be blessed
12/22/2007 9:52:05 AM


Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love! [Hamilton Wright Mabie]


A very nice discussion for Peter Fogel who inspired me to send this message out. Visit Peter's Forum on Chanukah

Christmas Celebrations World Over
MAY YOUR CHRISTMAS BE BLESSED

Christams Songs -Click above

Christmas is one of the biggest events and celebrations for the people belonging to the Christian faith.


The Birth of Jesus


Now it happened in those days, that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment made.

It would be a big mess and wrong to assume that it is only celebrated among the Christians. With the world becoming a global village, Christmas is now celebrated in many countries around the world.

Caroling, feasting, and gift-giving along with the prayers and wishes - Christmas is celebrated with high spirits in various parts of the world. Though the mode of celebration, the dates and the traditions vary, the spirit remains the same everywhere.

While most of us celebrate it as a festive season spreading over a week, for some it is a month long festival that starts with the Advent on Sunday next to November 26 and ends on January 6 with the feast of Epiphany.

Read on to have a glimpse over the different ways in which it is celebrated in different countries of the world.

Georgios, what a wonderful forum.  I will have to spend more time reading it and following the links.  It is my desire to keep the Candle of Love burning bright around the world.  You posted in the forum and brought some beautiful candles.  Yesterday I used the poem and candle to send to all my personal friends and family and asked them to keep it burning.  You are welcome to copy the poem, use your own candle and send to as many as you want to.  Since you know so many more from other countries, it would be wonderful.  Maybe it will get back to me!! 

A Gathering of Nations with love for each other, peace and goodwill in our hearts, wouldn't that be a wondeful thing!!

Your Red Candle inspired me to do one of my own.

Merry Christmas,

Sara
