The True Story Behind December 25: A Talk By Tom Verde!
Wednesday, December 12 at 7:00 p.m.
Journalist and scholar Tom Verde gives a talk on the historical significance of December 25!
While December 25 is certainly one of the most recognizable dates in the calendar, was it actually the date of Jesus' birth? If so, how do we know, and if not, how was it determined? The talk explores the history behind the date of Christmas, as well as various traditions associated with a holiday that were at one time banned when the holiday was closely associated with riots than reverence.
This talk is historical, not religious.
This program is free and open to the public; no registration is required.
