The Orthodox Academy of Crete, Medievalists.net, and the After Constantine Journal are organizing an online conference entitled Early Christmas Customs and Practices, which will take place on Zoom on December 16, 2023, at 17:00 (Athens Time).
Early Christmas customs and practices varied across different regions and communities. Over time, these early traditions evolved and were influenced by cultural, religious, and historical factors, shaping the Christmas celebrations we know today.
This online conference intends to underline this variety of celebrations and traditions during the Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages and create an ecumenical discourse around the subject.
