Mr. Georgios Philias, Emeritus Professor of the Faculty of Theology at the University of Athens, brings to light the true meaning of Christmas, illuminating the timeless message of love, hope, humility, and peace that the Divine Birth brings to the world.
The Emeritus Professor of the Faculty of Theology at the University of Athens, a distinguished theologian with decades of contribution to theological research and teaching, places the Nativity of Christ within the political and social context of its time. Mr. Philias also reflects on the central figures of that Holy Night—Joseph and the Virgin Mary—as well as on the role of the Magi, the learned astronomers of the era.
Special emphasis is given to the theological meaning of the Incarnation, while the emeritus professor also addresses the timeless question: “When was Christ born?”
