Bethlehem is empty this year.

Christmas 2023: Light of Bethlehem shines amidst darkness of history
The birth of Jesus is the most powerful sign and message of hope in a world darkened by the shadows of fear and uncertainty.
For Christmas 2023, Vatican Radio has asked religious leaders and heads of Christian charitable organizations for their reflections on the theme, “The Lord’s birth is the birth of peace.”
Today’s Message comes from Fr Francesco Patton, OFM, the Franciscan Custos of the Holy Land

2024 / An Orthodox Jew and Catholic Bishop discuss Christmas

Ben Shapiro / Bishop Robert Barron On The Importance Of Christmas / -9min
Description:
Ben interviews Bishop Robert Barron, bishop of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester, about the Christmas season.

Christmas has become a secularized and commercialized holiday as well as a cultural phenomenon instead of a religious one.
There’s been a loss of the importance of Christmas day, and Bishop Barron wants to recover the real religious heart of Christmas.
This year, Hanukkah and Christmas fall at the same time.

Ben and Bishop Barron talk about the ties that Hanukkah has to Christmas in biblical terms.

Lastly, Bishop Barron leaves us with the big message of Christmas this year: The light conquers the darkness.

i don’t have broad experience, but every converted to Christian Jew i’ve met IRL, at least one as a pastor, impressed me with their sincerity in faith, as well as depth of knowledge of scriptures; They possessed spirit and letter of faith. Very touching.
It makes one wonder about their walk to Jesus.

On some level, every believer since the first, has to make that personal decision, to “Follow Him”.
It can disrupt many things. It will disrupt things.

The converted pastor would sometimes share a bit about his family, still Jewish. In loving respectful ways.
It makes a person think.
