Season of Light
This family oriented program focuses on winter holiday traditions from many cultures,
and how they have been used for millennia to light up this darkest and coldest of
seasons. It also showcases some of our more light-hearted customs--such as giving
gifts, kissing under the mistletoe, and decorating Christmas trees. The program highlights
some of the winter constellations, demonstrates the cause of the four seasons and
the meaning of the winter solstice, and even gives some astronomical possibilities
for the Star of Bethlehem.
