Dole Out Your Faith Courtesy Of Religious Yule Cards

The Christmas holidays often are divided into two separate areas of thought. The secular approach focusing on Santa Claus, Christmas trees, and gifts is popular in the U.S..

The faith any individual might have in God is the second common theme. Many people celebrate the holidays for deeper, spiritual reasons and share those themes through the sending and receiving of religious Christmas cards.

Following are common topics included in Christian Christmas cards:

• A nativity scene depicting baby Jesus in a manger
• Mary and Joseph
• Shepherds

Church and spiritual leaders alike have argued for years against what they interpret to be the secularization of Christmas. This makes them uneasy because major entities such as governments and businesses manipulate the Christmas season to promote business, and not to address the spiritual issues they believe in.

The Christmas holidays, at least in the U.S., were set aside to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Although the actual birthday of Jesus remains unknown, the Roman Catholic Church declared that date to be the 25th of December. Many historical experts believe church authorities chose this date because it corresponds with the winter solstice, already a popular Roman holiday that could be assimilated into Roman culture with little fanfare.

It‘s not uncommon for Protestants to decry the selection of December 25 as the date of Christ‘s birth, claiming it to be a form of “paganization”. Church debates in regards to secularization have been ongoing for hundreds of years, and might not go away soon.

But, Christianity is not the only religion with religious significance in and around December. Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday that falls into this category, an eight-day event which occurs in December each year on days that vacillate from one year to the next.

Most of these cards annually depict the major events surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ, and come under the title of religious Christmas cards. Most cards also include a Bible verse related to the birth of Jesus.
