Cards, Carols, And Claus: Christmas In Religion And Popular Culture…

Leave a Comment

I want to briefly present some examples of Christmas popular culture.
          I have chosen four:
                        (i)  the Christmas Card,
                        (ii)  the world’s most popular Christmas Song,
                        (iii)  Christmas ‘Carols by Candlelight’,
                      (iv)  the artistic development of Santa Claus.

And then address a couple of common assumptions, such as:
                        (i)  I thought Christmas was about religion?
                        (ii)  Is there a role for popular culture in religion?
                        (iii) What about the bloke we call Yeshu’a?

This amusing, but informational talk by the Rev Rex A E Hunt can be found here.
