This class will include a discussion on the pagan models upon which the nativity story is likely based. The premise of the content is that the nativity story (i.e. birth of Jesus) was largely adapted from pre-Christian pagan sun-gods and later incorporated into narrative of the nativity story. The content may challenge the beliefs of younger students that may be sensitive to suggestions that the birth of Christ was largely borrowed from other religions. The class will also include a discussion of the pagan beliefs and traditions that eventually became Santa Claus. This is includes the origin of Santa Claus was based on Germanic deities and through the aggregation of various traditions eventually evolved into Santa Claus. Parental discretion is advised for students that may be sensitive to discussions about Santa Claus.
