Where does Christmas come from? - Spirit Power & Grace

What this episode covers

Why do we celebrate Jesus' birthday on December 25? Is that really the day he was born? On this episode, Lydia and Andrew talk about the tradition of celebrating Christmas on December 25 and why it exists. Their conversation has a little bit of everything: Herod the Terribly Great, Dionysius Exiguus, Numerology, Sol Invictus, and the Battle of the Milvian Bridge. And by the end, they kind-of, sort-of, maybe just arrive at an answer.

The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene (Full Audiobook) Robert Greene Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature.In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in t Tao Te Ching by Laozi (Author), Stephen Mitchell (Full Audiobook) Laozi Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, is the classic manual on the art of living, and one of the wonders of the world.
