This Is How the Black Death Began. A New Lead Discovered
23 December 2025
Silence, the Wafer, and the Shared Table
Christmas Eve is one of those December nights when family warmth and hope can momentarily overcome the winter chill. It is a time when daily disputes fall silent, and people—if only for a moment—find their way back to one another. As the famous Polish song goes: “There is such a day, very warm, though it’s December. A day, a simple day, when all disputes fade away.”
At a shared table, it is easier to feel that we are together. Christmas Eve provides a moment of respite and reminds us of the peace that we all need a little of today.
Closeness: The Simplest and Most Precious Gift
During this time, it is also worth thinking about those who spend the holidays alone or face difficult challenges. Sometimes a simple memory, a small gesture, a warm word, or just being there is enough to make them feel they are not alone. The most important things happen quietly, through the closeness of another human being.
On this special night, when good triumphs over evil and light disperses the darkness, let the words of the traditional carol resonate with particular strength: “And hope shall enter us again, the shadows of the absent shall appear, and we shall believe once more in yet another Christmas.”
May this hope warm every frozen heart, bring comfort to those in need, and strengthen our mutual solidarity as we celebrate Christmas 2025.
