The Meaning of the Christmas Festival

Every year anew holy night should indicate for those who understand esoteric Christianity that what happens in the outer world is an expression a gesture of inner spiritual events. As the physical power of the sun increasingly wanes its spiritual power increases and becomes stronger and stronger until it is at its strongest around christmas this forms the basis of the words in the gospel of john I must decrease but he must increase and he increases and increases and appears where the power of theSun has again attained outer physical power. In order for the human being to be able to venerate and worship this spiritual power of the Sun in its outer physical power they must learn to recognize the meaning of the christmas festival.
