Why don’t most churches celebrate the Feast of the Circumcision of Christ? After all, it is part of the church calendar and the traditional Christmas story. It’s true. For reals.
Here is just a little of what to expect in part two of our Christmas extravaganza…
The Twelve Days of Christmas, wise men, Epiphany, Advent, Lent, hallelujah, lament, the second coming of Jesus, repentance, self-mortification, fasting, pregame Christmas joy vs. postgame Christmas joy, mourning, mistaken theology of Christmas carols, light, darkness, the historical practices of the church, lectionary, nativity, symbolism, traditions, Plato, gnosticism, Christmas Eve, a covert catechism, adventus, gnosis, antiphons, Welkin, Malachi, Dave’s favorite Christmas carol, and Mark makes up a new word: Catechismically.
If you actually took the time to read that insanely long run-on sentence, you should give yourself a treat. Perhaps a Christmas cookie, or a leftover Advent chocolate. Live it up before the 2019 diet resolution takes effect!
