I’d be lying if I said there weren’t any new Christmas movies airing right now; in truth, I tried a couple, but couldn’t get very far with either. There was a whiff of the Hallmark Channel about both of them: too much formula and too little substance. One could do worse, but one could also read a book.
Then I came upon Celtic Pilgrimage, a 2018 film about “how Celtic nations received the Gospel of Christ during the Dark Ages” producing a partial revival in Europe. Nothing about Christmas there, but the religious and historical elements were intriguing.
