"Having The Spirit For Winter"
Update: 2019-12-22
Description
December 22, 2019 - Sunday Sermon by Rev. Patricia Guthmann Haresch -
For the ancients in the Northern Hemisphere, winter was a time of mystery, magic, and fear of what the future might hold. What creatures were out there shrouded by snow and darkness? Will the sun return and the storehouses be replenished? In their myths, there is evidence they were aware of sun depravation's effects on mental health. Yet, winter was also a time of festivals and feasts. At this time of the Winter Solstice, "the longest night," how might we in this age cultivate a spirit for weathering the winter?
