Join Dr. Michael Foley, theologian and author, for the second lecture in this two-part series on Christmas traditions and explore the medieval practices surrounding the Christmas season. While today’s celebrations often end on Christmas Day, in medieval times, the festivities were just beginning. Discover the contrast between the reflective season of Advent and the lively, sometimes unruly celebrations of the Twelve Days of Christmas.
