The True Meaning of Christmas
By Fulton J. Sheen | Illustrated by Fritz Kredel
“God so loved the world, that He gave up His only-begotten Son, so that those who believe in Him may not perish, but have eternal life.” These famous words of Saint John’s Gospel reveal the true meaning of Christmas.
Simply and reverently, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen meditates upon the Incarnation and Nativity of Jesus Christ, Son of the Most High, born in a lowly stable in Bethlehem of Judah, and the significance it bears and salvation it offers for each man, woman, and child.
Beautifully illustrated by Fritz Kredel, The True Meaning of Christmas offers a joyful greeting to the newborn King of kings and Lord of lords, and makes for fitting Yuletide reading for the whole family.
Fulton J. Sheen (1895–1979) was one of the most renowned Catholic priests of the twentieth century. An eminent scholar, prolific author, and natural entertainer, Sheen provided insight into the truth and beauty of the Catholic faith for millions around the world through his scores of books and countless radio and television programs. His cause for canonization was opened in 2002, and in 2012 Pope Benedict XVI declared him Venerable.
