This week, we explore the diverse pre- and early- Christian traditions that have lent themselves to our modern understanding and celebration of the Christmas Holiday. We talk about how those traditions have combined to create the modern holiday that is celebrated by billions of all faiths today, and how much 'Christ' there really is in Christmas to begin with. Please consider joining our Patreon to provide material support as we work on our Easter episode:www.patreon.com/leftunread Follow us:@leftunreadpod@gluten_yung@poorfidalgo Email us:[email protected] Theme music courtesy of the inimitable Interesting Times Gang:www.itgang.bandcamp.com Happy Holidays LU Fam!
