Putting the “Deo” Back in Christmas
Everywhere we go this month, the air is filled with Christmas carols. We hear everything from seasonal classics like “Jingle Bells to Christian hymns like “Silent Night.” The words are very familiar, but do we understand what these timeless refrains mean? On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez takes a look at a well-known Christmas melody to reveal the meaning and the challenge behind the lyrics. This simple song is a helpful reminder about what makes the season so joyful.
