About this Event
The holiday’s origin and how different cultures uniquely celebrate it
Christmas is so popular that it’s celebrated by 85% of Americans and approximately 2 billion Christians and non-Christians in 160 countries. But what is the origin of this holiday and how is it uniquely celebrated by different cultures here and around the world? Also, who was the real St. Nick and why is he associated with Christmas?
Join this live discussion and bring your questions for our panel of scholars: the Rev. Dorian Llywelyn, president of the USC Dornsife Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies; the Rev. Najuma Smith Pollard, assistant director of community and public engagement at the USC Dornsife Center for Religion and Civic Culture; Carlos Garcia Alayon, PhD theology student, University of Notre Dame.
