I recently spoke with my friend @BenShapiro about the upcoming feast days of Christmas and Chanukkah.
Chanukkah is the festival of the rededication of the Temple we read about in the Book of Maccabees, and as Ben remarked, this book leads us to the Christmas story. For Christians, Christ is the new temple.
And Christ the new temple is the Christmas message; the Church has always said of the incarnation that “the Word became Flesh.” Friends, the Gospels—in fact, all of the books of the Bible—know the darkness of the world, but they also reveal that the light of Christ will always conquer.
