Christmas is a festival of joy and reflection. At least in the Christian faith. But what significance does Christmas Eve still have in an increasingly secularized society? Topics in this episode: 00:00 What do we celebrate at Christmas, Karl-Josef Kuschel? 16:04 What is the Islamic perspective on Christmas? 35:05 Why is the night so important in all world religions? 38:30 Why is Christmas such an important topic in literature? 44:17 How do we manage to preserve the essence of Christmas? Christmas is omnipresent! Hardly anyone can escape the hustle and bustle of Christmas. The festival in honor of the birth of Jesus is one of the most important holidays in the Christian faith. And thus an important part of Christian identity. Why is the incarnation, i.e. the incarnation of God, so central to Christianity? And how does the Koran actually describe the birth of Jesus? Can this build bridges between the two religions? Because spiritual experiences can deepen one another and dialogue. Milad Ahmad Karimi speaks to theologian Karl-Josef Kuschel about a precious faith tradition.

More culture on srf.ch ???? https://www.srf.ch/kultur ____________________ The big questions of life, discussed in conversation with people who move, understand, believe and doubt. That is our approach. We conduct social debates and profound conversations that entertain and inspire. Religion can be many things and it reaches deep into the heart of society. From Zen meditation to the abuse of power in the church, from football fan cults to the gender debate: we approach the broad subject area of religion, faith and spirituality with critical distance. ____________________ Moderation: Olivia Röllin: / oliviaroellin ____________________ Social Media Netiquette from SRF: ► https://www.srf.ch/social-netiquette #SRFKultur #SRFKulturSternstunden #SRFSternstunde #Religion #Weihnachten #Friedensbotschaft #SRF #Kultur
