About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: Today marks the 5th day of Hanukkah and most of the candles on the Menorah are now lit. But for our Jewish brothers and sisters in New York and beyond, amid the Hanukkah lights, there is also the darkness of antisemitism. The New York Police Department reports antisemitic events nearly doubled in the past year alone. Rabbi Yaakov Menken, Managing Director of the Coalition for Jewish Values, joins us to provide insight into the antisemitic events happening in New York. All is set at the Vatican for the traditional Christmas celebrations. A busy two weeks for Pope Francis starts Saturday with Christmas Eve Mass in St. Peter's Basilica. Andreas Thonhauser, EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, has more. From the North Star to the Virgin birth, Christmas is a time to take in both the wonder of science and the miracles that go beyond science. Dr. Dan Kuebler, Dean of the School of Natural and Applied Sciences and Professor of Biology at Franciscan University, joins us to discuss the scientific evidence for Jesus' birth over 2,000 years ago. With Christmas just days away, it is the perfect time to reflect on what it was like to be present at the birth of our Lord. We take a closer look at how one famous 15th century artist depicted the scene. Associate Professor at The School of Theology and Religious Studies at the Catholic University of America and author of 'Beauty of Faith,' Jem Sullivan joins us to discuss a masterpiece done by Giorgione depicting the birth of Jesus.
