Answering Questions about Christmas
Show Notes

Are there really 12 days of Christmas? Was Jesus actually born in a stable? Why do we place presents under the tree?

As we prepare ourselves for Christmas, students at Mary Immaculate Parish School and Helias Catholic High School shared their questions about this holy day. We are joined by Msgr. Robert Kurwicki who shares the history behind today's Christmas traditions. 

Msgr. Kurwicki is the Vicar General of the Diocese of Jefferson City as well as the Chaplain of the Missouri House of Representatives and the pastor of St. Michael parish in Russellville.
