C. S. Lewis on the Conception of Christ

Annunciation by Dante Rossetti

“No woman ever conceived a child, no mare a foal, without Him. But once, and for a special purpose, He dispensed with that long line which is His instrument: once His life-giving finger touched a woman without passing through the ages of interlocked events. Once the great glove of Nature was taken off His hand. His naked hand touched her. There was of course a unique reason for it. That time He was creating not simply a man but the Man who was to be Himself: was creating Man anew; was beginning, at this divine and human point, the New Creation of all things. The whole soiled and weary universe quivered at this direct injection of essential life—direct, uncontaminated, not drained through all the crowded history of Nature.”

~ C. S. Lewis in Miracles

NOTES:

  • Thank you to Stephanie at Infinite Queso for alerting me to this quote.
  • Also see remarkable images of human life from conception to birth.
  • March 25th is exactly nine months before December 25th and is, therefore, considered to mark the day that the Angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would conceive. So today is celebrated as the Annunciation of the Lord on some church calendars. We cannot accurately say what date Jesus was born and then work back exactly nine months to when He was conceived. These are just dates that go back centuries in church history and are not based on any dates from the Biblical record. Dating the Census of Quirinius and the reign of Herod the Great would be good starting points for determining when Jesus might have been born. The fact that the shepherds were in the field may indicate the time of year as well.
  • The painting by Dante Rossetti is in the public domain.

C. S. Lewis on Xmas

Statue by Ross Wilson in Belfast, Ireland

This statue was modeled after C. S. Lewis as he looked in 1919 and portrays Digory Kirke looking into the wardrobe from the Chronicles of Narnia.

“In the middle of winter when fogs and rains most abound, [the Niatirbians] have a great festival called Exmas, and for 50 days they prepare for it (in the manner which is called,) in their barbarian speech, the Exmas Rush.

“When the day of the festival comes, most of the citizens, being exhausted from the (frenzies of the) Rush, lie in bed till noon. But in the evening they eat five times as much as on other days, and crowning themselves with crowns of paper, they become intoxicated. And on the day after Exmas, they are very grave, being internally disordered by the supper and the drinking and the reckoning of how much they have spent on gifts and on the wine.

“A few among the Niatirbians have also a festival, separate and to themselves, called Crissmas, which is on the same day as Exmas. And those who keep Crissmas, doing the opposite to the majority of Niatirbians, rise early on that day with shining faces and go before sunrise to certain temples where they partake of a sacred feast.

“But as for what Hecataeus says, that Exmas and Crissmas are the same, this is not credible. It is not likely that men, even being barbarians, should suffer so many and so great things (as those involved in the Exmas Rush), in honor of a god they do not believe in.”

NOTES:

  • From C.S. Lewis’ essay, “Xmas and Christmas: A Lost Chapter from Herodotus.”
  • Niatirb is Britain backwards
  • Thank you, Rob, of Mere Inkling, for alerting me to this quote.

Statue by Ross Wilson in Belfast, Ireland

If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end;
if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth…”

Tolkien Reading Day

Frodo's childhood home

Our family loves to read and today is Mike’s birthday, so when I discovered that today is Tolkien Reading Day, I just had to post some good quotes from J. R. R. Tolkien for you to enjoy.

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”

~ from The Fellowship of the Ring

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.

“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

~ from The Fellowship of the Ring

March 25th was chosen to commemorate the fall of Sauron in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Because we are huge fans of C.S. Lewis, I was pleased to also find some quotes from Tolkien about his friend.

“Friendship with Lewis compensates for much, and besides giving constant pleasure and comfort has done me much good from the contact with a man at once honest, brave, intellectual–a scholar, a poet, and a philosopher–and a lover, at least after a long pilgrimage, of Our Lord.”

“The unpayable debt that I owe to him was not ‘influence’ as it is ordinarily understood, but sheer encouragement. He was for long my only audience. Only from him did I ever get the idea that my ‘stuff’ could be more than a private hobby.”

“So far I have felt the normal feelings of a man of my age–like an old tree that it losing all its leaves one by one: this feels like an axe-blow near the roots.” ~ on the death of C.S. Lewis
