The Symbols of Christmas, Part 2
Manage episode 231686184 series 2502413
What is the hold that Christmas has on so many people? Maybe we all share an unconscious symbol of two births—spirit and body. Perhaps the nativity and passion story follows a set of universal structures. Or, do the symbols provide us with a model of the world and for how to behave? In this episode, I consider these and other approaches to explain why Christmas is so significant for millions.
