- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 30 Nov, 2025 at 01:00 pm – Sun, 30 Nov, 2025 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join Dr. Elias Salfity, a Christian scholar born and raised in the Old City of Jerusalem, for a remarkable presentation that bridges the ancient world of the Bible with our modern understanding. Dr. Salfity, who grew up within a ten-minute walk of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, offers a unique lens—the same cultural and spiritual approach utilized by the early Church Fathers—to reading the New Testament.This talk will take you beyond the surface of the Christmas story. We will delve into the narrative starting with the Annunciation, exploring insights from the Proto-Gospel of James regarding the early life of Mary. Dr. Salfity will unpack the anthropology behind Joseph's doubt, illuminate the profound spiritual significance of the journey from Nazareth through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, and reveal the true meaning of the verse that says there was"no place in the inn."By illuminating the Jewish customs, symbols, and motifs that shaped the New Testament, Dr. Salfity helps us unlock the deeper meaning inherent in the Word of God, showing how the birth of Jesus fulfills multiple signs and prophecies foretold in Scripture. Additionally, we will hear about the struggles and efforts of the "living stones" —the Christians of the Holy Land —who continue to preserve their heritage. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with the living history of the faith.
