The Archaeology of Christmas

Looking for something a bit more mind expanding to give your time to than "Frosty the Snowman"?   Amy & Regan Barr, members of the CNX community, will be offering a free, online presentation on the Archaeology of Christmas from 8-9:30pm on Wednesday 12/17.  Amy & Regan are co-founders of the Lukeion Project and spent a decade excavating in the Mediterranean and have both done PHD work in Classical Archaeology.  Don’t miss this chance to get some great background on the Christmas story including the latest findings on Herod the Great's tomb, the Magi, the slaughter of the innocents, the unique status of Egypt, Caesar Augustus and more.  Register HERE.
