Not much in the way of seasonal music being played on here? I have come across a new work for me on a Facebook group I belong too. It’s called Oratorio de Noel, by Saint-Saens. It’s on Naxos. Anybody here know this one?

But we have just has Philip Glass’s Akhnaten, which ties in nicely with, Sol Invictus, one of the main candidates for the hijacking of December 25th for the fake date of the birth of Jesus. Next Tuesday I will listen to Saturn from The Planets in celebration of the other main contender, Saturnalia.

Great idea! Yes, all this is falsehood, all done with the origins of Christianity to appease the pagans, for changing their feast days to the new religion.

Of course!
I did add the winkeye.

I learned in a PM yesterday about Gaudete Sunday (Third Sunday in Advent), represented by a pink (not red or purple) candle in an Advent wreath: apparently we can be jollier then.

The minster still does the Litany in procession, though, just as it does in Lent.
