CHRIST MASS
an anglo-catholic witness by Alan Ewing
an anglo-catholic witness by Alan Ewing
Christmas. A celebration of the birthday of Jesus Christ. Or is it? The synoptic Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, do not actually fix a date.
The church began celebrating "Christ Mass" in the 4th Century CE. This was a time when The New Testament itself was being canonised. The 1st Century CE is shrouded in mystery. Very little is known about it.
A linear date is not really the point. As The Gospel of John says: "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God."
The symbolism of linear dated Christmas, 25th December, is that humanity is guided back to the light by the birth of Christ. It comes a few days after Winter Solstice in The Northern Hemisphere, at which point The Earth tilts back towards the light of The Sun. After our fellow friends in Southern Hemisphere have enjoyed Summer.
The birth of Christ is an eternal event that transcends time.
Advent Story (with video)
Advent for Samantha and Steve was always a precious time. They had met at this time of year. They had got engaged a year later in the season. And then, a year later they had married in Advent. Both of their children, a boy and a girl had been born in Advent. And then they had split up in Advent.
The new Advent came with a Decree Nisi on their marriage, with the intention for the Decree Absolute to follow. But their Advent Story was not over just yet. For Steve and Samantha rekindled their romance, withdrew the divorce proceedings, and would have many Advent Anniversaries and grandchildren in the Advents to come.

GAG: “Fancy pulling a Christmas Cracker?” Asked Jimmo’s sister-in-law. “You bet!” He replied, putting his arm around her. Jimmo spent the rest of the night in the dog-house outside.
