The magic of Christmas night

Slovene art features a range of idyllic, frequently romantic depictions of snowy evening landscapes. Warmth emanates from the hearths of homesteads, and lighted churches bring worshippers to Christmas midnight mass.

Today that image has changed in many ways, since nature is responding to our heedless behaviour, which is resulting in changes to the snowy landscape, the fundamental backdrop to the Christmas spirit around the world, including in Slovenia. With the passing years, Christmas is turning increasingly ‘summery’, and the snowy idylls have in recent years become mainly confined to historical memories. It would of course be very wrong for us to be satisfied with this finding. Be it snowy or sunny, each year that we mark once again Christ’s birth, the Christmas celebration and its noble messages remain.
