Stephane Guevremont lecture: CHRISTMAS AT THE FRONT

This is a unique and very charming lecture about the military origins of Christmas and how it has been celebrated since Jesus' times! "Have a merry, merry lecture with a delightful analysis of Christmas at the front over the ages. Discover the origins of the holiday and the unorthodox ways used by soldiers to celebrate the birth of Jesus on the battlefield: through a medieval tradition, the Christmas tree, the soldiers' dinner, Santa Claus, and the famous 1914 truce. A unique and magical story".
