Reseña del libro "The 38 Days of Christmas Devotional. Let the Journey Begin (en Inglés)"
You may ask the question from the title, "Why 38 Days of Christmas?" I am sure you thought it should be the 12 days of Christmas from the songs and stories that are told and sung during the Christmas Season, or my have thought that even with the addition of the Advent Season, we still would only have a month of Christmas, but in reality, not so. We must understand that Christmas really takes you out of one year and into the next, for you will find that in the Western tradition we celebrate Christmas at the end of the year, however in the Eastern traditions of the church, Christmas in at the beginning of the year. The Christmas dates in December in the West and the one in January in the Eastern Church calendar actually make more sense for then Christ's birth is the ending of it all and the beginning of everything. He is the "Alpha and the Omega," the beginning and the end, and he asks us to join him for both celebrations.
