Christmas and Lady Day
From "The Two Babylons" by Alexander Hislop, this text represents one of the most scholarly works by a Christian author on the origins of Christmas. Though written over 80 years ago, the facts are no less true today. The original book has copious notes taking up, in some places, more than half of the page! For brevity the many footnotes citing the source title, place and date of publication have been left out at this time.
