About the event

What do decorated trees, Santa Claus, reindeer, mistletoe, and eggnog have do with the birth of Jesus?

FREE OPEN LECTURE 

No  where in the Bible is Jesus’ birthday given as December 25th. However,  the Romans did celebrate that date, not as the birthday of the Son of  God, but as the birthday of their sun god. We’ll look at the pagan  origins of common Christmas traditions.

The presentation ends around 9.00. The exchange of ideas usually continues until 10, or even later, while we share complimentary snacks and beverages.

The venue is called “Centre Place” and is located at 320 Richmond St.  E - Suite 101, Toronto, ON, M5A 1P9. We're on a commercial unit of "The  Modern" condominium, at the NE corner of Sherbourne and Richmond. Our  unit has its own entrance on Richmond, right next to McFarrens Ln. Above the main entrance there's a blue sign that says "Centre Place". (For directions lookup "Centre Place Toronto" on your phone). The venue is 100% accessible.
