In this Episode, Shelby dives into the pagan roots of Christmas and shares where the symbols and celebrations we know of today originated. She discusses the history of Yule, the solstice, the Roman festival Saturnalia, and how early Christians seamlessly blended these ancient celebrations into their new belief. She discusses the shift from honoring the "sun" to honoring the Son, and how these ancient traditions are alive and well in our Christmas celebrations.
