In this special episode, Profs. Danielle A. Layne and Tyler Tritten, married philosophers, discuss the meaning of Christmas, holidays and the myriad ways individuals take the time to create and sustain the sacred even in the secular world. They each talk about the role of sacrifice, heritage, the compatibility and difference within Christianity and Platonism with regard to the birth of a revelatory divinity and its connection to the sight of divine light and the sound of silence.
