Just to be clear
In the Catholic tradition, the Christmas season traditionally comes to an end with the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6, commemorating the revelation of Jesus to the Three Kings ๐ซ๐ซ
In Italy ๐ฎ๐น , this tradition is deeply felt and widely observed
There's an Icelandic tradition called Jรณlabรณkaflรณรฐ, where books are exchanged as Christmas Eve presents, and the rest of the night is spent reading them and drinking hot chocolate.
Christmas is not a Western story โ it is a Palestinian one.
"This Christmas, our invitation to the global church โ and to Western Christians in particular โ is to remember where the story began. To remember that Bethlehem is not a myth but a place where people still live. If the Christian world is to honour the meaning of Christmas, it must turn its gaze to Bethlehem โ not the imagined one, but the real one, a town whose people today still cry out for justice, dignity and peace."
