Santa Talks!

The 2000 year old word! Many years ago, before Santa was even born, there was a dark period in history, when the resurrected Christ had gone to live in heaven, and left so many people that had believed in him behind. People that had expected Jesus to create his kingdom on earth now! And Save them from the problems of the Day which was often caused by interaction with the roman Soldiers Acting as Police and Government tax collectors. The people depended on the Disciples of Christ and others, who seemed to understand what if not why, had happened and what the ongoing plan was to achieve Christ’s kingdom. They began to meet in secret locations because the Romans they lived under were not allowing followers of Jesus to congregate openly. If caught they could be imprisoned or put to death. Public stoning often followed public preaching in those days. These secret places became the new Churches of the Early Christian Church. They drew the sign of the fish on their meeting places and used passwords to know who was coming and who was at the door. And a lookout always had to be kept when People met in Christ’s name. One such password used was Christos Mosos which mean’s Christ within (you). This password was passed on and on used by travelers who moved ever northward to avoid Roman rule. They migrated right up through Europe, eventually through what is now; Italy, Spain, France Luxemburg, Germany, and even The Baltic states, the password was altered or changed as various countries languages and regional dialects had their effects, and eventually became what we now know as Christ-mas, Christmas, the 2000 year old word. Christmas, still it carries the same meaning “Christ within”, wouldn’t it be nice if we offered Christ to everyone we meet. Please, Say Merry Christmas! Christ within you! To everyone you meet. May you have a Merry Christmas all your years!
