Christmas Timeline

Posted by Katrien Vander Straeten Nov 5, 2006

Every year around this time shopkeepers do magic: in the span of an evening, the Halloween costumes are whisked away and all the Christmas paraphernalia take their stead.

So even though we still have Thanksgiving ahead of us, Christmas is already on everyone's mind.

What with all the many events related to that first Christmas, do you get confused about what happened when? In my article this week I lay it all out for you in a detailed timeline.

The article only lists the events and the Feasts that celebrate them, but I have some articles in the making that will give more details, so come back soon!

Episodes so far:

• The Annunciation
• Journey to Bethlehem
• Christ is Born
• The Massacre of the Innocents

Also:

• Dating the Year of Jesus’ Birth
• Dating the Time of Year of Christ's Birth
