The signs of the ‘new religion’

The nativity scene is a symbol of children, family, relationships, work, poverty and communion, which were also the signs of the Christian Christmas. These values are opposites to those of the new consumerist Christmas, which is based on the individual. by Luigino Bruni published in Messaggero di ...
