Was Christmas originally a pagan holiday? Were there three Wisemen, and were they kings or sorcerers? Did Mary know she was going to give birth to the Son of God? Do we know if December 25th is Jesus’ true birthday?

Dr. Michael Barber joins Ben Eriksen as he answers these questions and many more based on his extensive research presented in his book “The True Meaning of Christmas.” Dr. Barber not only explains the history behind many Christmas traditions, but he also highlights the spiritual and moral underpinnings of these beloved celebrations.
