Perché facciamo gli auguri? Perché decoriamo l'abete? E le luci di Natale? Perché ci si bacia sotto il vischio? Cosa ci fanno il bue e l'asinello nel presepe se i Vangeli non ne parlano? Sapevi che nella mangiatoia c'era anche un gatto? E che uno dei re Magi è diventato italiano? E la stella cometa? E la ghirlanda? E il pupazzo di neve? Ogni anno compiamo gesti ricorrenti con grande sicurezza, spesso senza sapere o chiederci il perché.

Jesus' final days were full of risk. Every move he made was filled with anticipation, danger, and the potential for great loss or great reward.
