Bethlehem means “House of Bread” in Hebrew, and “House of Flesh” in Arabic. And of course, “mangia” in Italian means “to eat.” And so, Chris Sparks notes, the Child in the manger, Jesus Christ, was born to become food.
In the third and final part of the series, Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC reflects on the true Christmas season, beginning on Christmas Eve and centered on Christ's birth, highlighting Mary's vital role in leading us to Jesus, and the Mass as a celebration of eternal life, urging us to embrace the holiness and joy of the season.
