The religious origins of the greeting “Merry Christmas!” (Aleteia EN)

For a phrase that is said by millions around the world, it originated many centuries ago, as a recent discovery shows.

Even though we can reflect and perhaps say as a global place, we have had major successes and joyful moments along the way. We started the year with Covid-19 protocols in place.
