Die Anfänge von Weihnachten und Epiphanias

Eine Anfrage an die Entstehungshypothesen
Die gängigen Hypothesen für die Entstehung von Weihnachten und Epiphanias können die Situation des vierten Jahrhunderts nicht erklären. Die Sonnensymbolik hat sicherlich zur Wahl des Festtermins entscheidend beigetragen; sie konnte dies allerdings gerade deswegen, weil es kein paralleles römisches Sonnwendfest gab, das sich besonderer Beliebtheit erfreut hätte.
The scholarly discussion about the origins of Christmas and Epiphany usually revolves around two hypotheses. The theological literature in the Anglo-Saxon countries mainly favors an internal Christian context for this, based on early Christian calculations, whereas others usually refer to parallel pagan celebrations as the origins of both festivals. Hans Förster shows that these common hypotheses for the origins of Christmas and Epiphany do not explain the situation in the fourth century.
