Il Natale è una delle ricorrenze più amate al mondo, ma la sua storia affonda le radici in un passato molto più antico di quanto si immagini.
Dietro il presepe, l'albero, le luci e i doni si nasconde un lungo percorso fatto di riti solstiziali, tradizioni popolari, simboli religiosi e trasformazioni culturali che attraversano oltre duemila anni di storia. In questo saggio divulgativo, Emma Mattey accompagna il lettore alla scoperta delle autentiche origini del Natale, distinguendo con rigore ciò che è documentato dalle fonti storiche da ciò che appartiene al folklore e all'immaginario collettivo. All'interno del libro scoprirai: - le celebrazioni del solstizio d'inverno e le antiche feste romane;- il significato del 25 dicembre e la nascita del Natale cristiano;
- l'origine del presepe, dell'albero di Natale, delle luci e dei doni;
- la figura di San Nicola e la nascita di Babbo Natale;
- miti, leggende e tradizioni natalizie in Italia e nel mondo. Con uno stile chiaro, coinvolgente e basato sulle fonti storiche, il volume offre una lettura accessibile a tutti, mostrando come il Natale sia il risultato dell'incontro tra fede, storia e cultura popolare. Ideale per chi desidera conoscere il significato autentico del Natale, andando oltre le tradizioni più conosciute e riscoprendone le radici storiche e simboliche.
