The Lentenulus portrait and Christmas origins in art
A historical account traces the Lentulus description of Jesus, the first Christmas plays by Saint Francis of Assisi, and the spread of Nativity art from mid ages to Luca della Robbia. It notes Doctor Clement C. Moore and the enduring poem A Visit from St. Nicholas, alongside rising Christmas spending and postal mishaps. It discusses turkey supply, mistletoe, and the global Bible boom reflecting Christian influence.
