This volume is a tremendous help for participating in the deep spiritual realities behind the Christmas festival. Throughout his life Steiner talked about a modern spiritually conscious approach to the festivals of the year. Here is a compilation of what he had to say at various times about Christmas.

These eight lectures were given by Rudolf Steiner at various cities in the years 1904 through 1922. They were given to audiences familiar with the general background and terminology of Steiner's anthroposophical teaching. Records exist of some 48 lectures given by Rudolf Steiner between the years 1904 and 1923 on the meaning and significance of the Christmas Festival. This Volume I (of a series) contains the texts of eight of these lectures. Note: Volumes II, III and IV of this series on The Festivals and their Meaning contain the texts of lectures by Rudolf Steiner on Easter, Ascension and Pentecost, and Michaelmas. Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond

CHRISTMAS MEDITATION
At the turning-point of time,
The Spirit-Light of the World
Entered the stream of Earthly Evolution.
Darkness of Night had held its sway;
Day-radiant Light poured into the souls of men,
Light that gave warmth to simple shepherds' hearts,
Light that enlightened the wise heads of kings.
O Light Divine! O Sun of Christ!
Warm Thou our hearts,
Enlighten Thou our heads,
That good may become
What from our hearts we would found
And from our heads direct
With single purpose.
