Abstract:
Every year, Serbian people celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in a solemn manner enclosing various traditions. All these traditions originate from ancient Slavs, who were pagans. Each element and ritual has its own symbolism and significance. They are mainly related to Slavic gods, dead ancestors and some mythical creatures. When the Slavs received Christianity, their customs adopted a new meaning. The church canceled some customs because of their magical properties, but it also preserved others and made them an important part of Christian traditions. Thus Yule and some customs before C

Abstract:
Balthasar’s reflections on the mystery of Christmas provide not only a basic entry into his thought, but also an expanded view of his theological vision. Drawing primarily upon his sermons and scriptural meditations, this essay presents a Balthasar both familiar and new: ideas at the heart of his Christology, Trinitarian theology, Mariology, and anthropology receive significant attention. Yet Balthasar’s reflections on Christmas also provide some of his most important engagements with less-noticed themes—particularly regarding Christian praxis toward the poor and oppressed.

Abstract:
Christians believe that Christmas is a season to glorify the birth of Jesus Christ. However, the Christmas celebration is an issue intertwined with business realities. Researchers argue that the influence of the Bible intersects with Christmas. Nevertheless, some people use Christmas as a field to implement businesses that seek huge profits for personal satisfaction, thus creating social problems on the other side. This research aimed to analyze the Bible’s influence at Christmas and its implications for business realities in Indonesia. This research used a qualitative research method based on

Christmas Day falls on the 25th day in the month of December each year and is associated with a religious celebration of the birth of Jesus by the Christians– both the Roman Catholics and the Protestants as well as other Christians from different denominations– worldwide. In fact, there are several hypotheses regarding the exact date of Jesus' birth. However, in the early 4th Century AD, the Western churches fixed the date as 25 December, while the Eastern churches put it on 7 January of the following year.

Abstract: Although Dickens’s Christmas Carol has become a classic of the holiday season, the story is curiously devoid of overt mentions of Christianity, relying instead on parables of charity, redemption, and the divine innocence of children. These, however, acquire new meaning through translation in countries where religious faith is seen as a threat to the established order. In the former Czechoslovakia, books such as A Christmas Carol , with a Christian message likely to escape the censor’s eye, fulfilled a crucial new role.

Abstract:
This study examines the meaning of Christmas from a biblical perspective and explores how its values can be lived out and proclaimed daily by believers. Christmas is often observed as an annual tradition without a profound understanding of the incarnation of Christ and the fulfilment of God's promise of salvation. The research employs biblical hermeneutics, utilising an expository approach and thematic analysis of Old and New Testament texts. The findings reveal that Christmas affirms Jesus as the HaMoshia (Saviour), reflects the paradox of the Kingdom of God, and serves as a call to proclaim

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the generation of Christian meaning via the performance of instrumental music (IM) separate from text within Christian worship. IM is non-verbal, purely qualitative, and lacking in conventional theological reference. Its meaning is multivalent and relies heavily upon the sensory, imaginative, emotional, and transcendent realms of human experience. Within logo-centric views of Christian meaning-generation, IM can be perceived as contentious and tends to be treated predominantly as an accompaniment to text or ritual activity, a cue, or a soundtrack to visual presentati

Abstract:
The practice of contemplative silence, in its manifestation as a mode of capable being, is a self-consciously spiritual and ethical activity that aims at a transformation of reflexive consciousness. I assert that contemplative silence manifests a mode of capable being in which we have an awareness of the awareness of the awareness of being with being whereby we can constitute and create a shared world of meaning(s) through poetically presencing our being as being with others. The doubling and tripling of the term "awareness" refers to five contextual levels of awareness, which are analyzed, in

This chapter looks at two “internal” frontiers of the Jesus cult. The first is the border between the Muslim and Christian subcults in the growing Ottoman Empire. Christians converted to Islam, even as both traditions fused together at a level beneath formal identity, as in Bektashism and Hurufism. Muslims used Christian baptism as a deodorant, or recognized the Persian mystic Fazlallah Astarabadi as Jesus, or claimed Jesus as a prophet equal to Mohammad. The second frontier divided Jews and Christians in Iberia—a border within a Christian society. In the Disputation at Tortosa, Christians see

Subsequently, she examines the mystical table in the icon of the Trinity by Andrei Rublev as a symbol of sacred hospitality and the eucharistic sacrifice.

It may very well be seen as too connected to religion, myth and even superstition. Yet those who are motivated to lose oneself in the subject retain a deep interest in human destructiveness, malevolence and hate, significant themes pointing at
