Did you know Christmas was banned in early America?

You may be surprised to learn that Christmas used to be illegal in parts of America — all thanks to Puritans, who had a special animus towards "popish trumperies" — among them, the festive celebration of high holy days like the Nativity of Our Lord. Watch this episode to learn more.

I want to wish each of you a happy and holy Christmas, and a truly blessed new year filled with graces. Thank you kindly for all of your prayers and support, without which I could not continue this work. You are a blessing! Let us continue to hold one another in prayer!

God bless you,
Christine
