The mystery of Christmas is something a great chiaroscuro and metaphysics. Darkness and light in their radical expressions! Before the radiant light of divine glory that accompanied the message of the angel, the shepherds of Bethlehem's campaign appear to have collected, intact with their faculty of wonder, the scope of this unusual light contrast: the heart of the night the longest of the year in full winter solstice, the burst of the "Light of the world," Christ. But today, evokes such a contrast for our time who can really see the symbols? While the flicker that animate our cities long boulevards, night of this Christmas season, still show a certain symbolism and evidence of its origin confused, but ultimately in a festive mode flatly. Garlands more flash to the consumer for the busy man facing his destiny.
Yet it is the latter that the Creator intended and signs revealing his actions. When His Son was born in a humble stable, this opposition between light and the ultimate night denser refers to "Fiat lux "Creation. Everything begins and everything starts with a light that arose in the absolute night. Yes, the Nativity appears as the second act of this creation. In a world darkened by sin and some with the horizon of death, "wages of sin" (Rom. 6, 23), it is a new beginning.
Indeed, the advent of Christ is a victory over death, no less. This divine birth is rich in promise unprecedented. Breaking the fatal cycle of alternating life / death in the existence of mankind. Mechanism to end the millennium of the Fall, which makes death a mode of regulation Life. Following Christ freely, man finds his destiny, down and all being for death ". The story takes another direction. Also, good news among all is well and truly the rebirth of humanity urbi et orbi that began in the Valley of the Dead Sea, in the little town of Bethlehem.
