This week’s featured programs include:
The Story of Christmas | Benjamin Cello Christmas Special – Join Benjamin Cello and his friends in Pennywhistle Park for a delightful shadow puppet retelling of “The Story of Christmas.” This hour-long special combines music, storytelling, and creativity to share the Nativity story in a way children and families will love.
Christmas | Sacred Art – Dr. Ben Akers and Taylor Kemp reflect on the painting Adoration of the Shepherds by Gerard van Honthorst. Through the lens of sacred art, they explore the meaning of the Nativity and how this beautiful work draws us closer to the humility and love of the Christ Child.
What Catholics Believe About Christmas: Traditions, Santa Claus – Dr. Michael Barber answers common questions about Christmas traditions. Learn about the origins of Santa Claus, the 12 Days of Christmas, and the season of Advent. Discover how these customs connect us to the true meaning of Christmas.
