Tomorrow the Church celebrates the Feast of the Presentation. Believe it or not, this traditionally had been the conclusion of the Christmas season. That’s right: Christmas is more than just 12 days; it was actually 40! 

One question that I have been surprised to get as often as I have is: “What would have happened if Adam and Eve had not eaten the fruit?” This is a question that has been asked numerous times over the history of the Church. However, the answer has always been the same: that we can play the “what if” game all we want, it is moot point because at the end of the day they ate it. That being said, one thing we know for sure would have been the same whether they ate the fruit or not is this: Jesus would have still been born.
