117a. The Gospel of John and the Three Other Gospels: The European Mysteries and Their Initiates 09 Jan 1910, Stockholm

These took place in the sacred forests at midnight on Christmas Eve, for example. And by letting his senses merge with the great nature, the Druid could gain a real insight into what man is and can become.
29. Collected Essays on Drama 1889–1900: The Beginning of German Theater 04 Mar 1899,
Translated by Steiner Online Library

Scenes from the Old and New Testaments were performed at Easter and Christmas. They did not have the purpose, which every real dramatic poem must have, of presenting soul struggles for their own sake; they wanted to present sacred history in a vividly vivid way.
265. The History of the Esoteric School 1904–1914, Volume Two: The Prayer “Brothers of the Past”

From an instructional lesson in Hanover, Christmas 1911 We should know and feel within the walls of our temple that with these symbols surrounding us, the forces of the wise masters of the East are flowing in upon us.
262. Correspondence with Marie Steiner 1901–1925: 112. Letter to Rudolf Steiner in Vienna 19 Jan 1913, Vienna

26. The Life, Nature, and Cultivation of Anthroposophy: Understanding of the Spirit and conscious Experience of Destiny 24 Mar 1924,
Translated by George Adams

In this way, through the work of the would-be active members, the Anthroposophical Society may become a true preparatory school for the school of Initiates. It was the intention of the Christmas Assembly to indicate this very forcibly; and one who truly understands what that Assembly meant will continue to point this out until the sufficient understanding of it can bring the Society fresh tasks and possibilities again.
28. The Story of My Life: Chapter XIII
Translated by Harry Collison

[ 6 ] Half a year after this visit, my Transylvanian friends arranged for me to deliver a lecture at Hermannstadt. It was Christmas time. I traveled over the wide plains in the midst of which lies Arad. The melancholy poetry of Lenau sounded in my heart as I looked out over these plains where all is one expanse to which the eye can find no limit.
[ 7 ] I reached Hermannstadt on Christmas Day. Here I was introduced into “Siebenburger Saxondom.” This existed there in the midst of a Rumanian and Magyar environment.
224. Pneumatosophy: The Riddles of the Inner Man 23 May 1923, Berlin
Translated by Frances E. Dawson

It is true that this earth-soul also has its special destiny. Suppose it is winter here with us, Christmas time, the time of the winter solstice—that is the time when the earth soul is fully united with the earth.
The ancients understood the year, and on the basis of the mysteries which I have been able only to indicate today, they established Christmas, Easter and the St. John's Festival. At Christmas people give one another gifts, and do some other things also; but I have often explained, when I have given Christmas and Easter lectures here, how little remains with humanity today of these ancient institutions, how everything has become traditional and external.

In addition to numerous events and courses that took place in the adjoining buildings, and many beautiful eurythmy performances, the following took place at the Goetheanum: a second college course; a summer course for English artists in 1921; a pedagogical course in the winter of 1921; the so-called French Week in the summer of 1922; and a science course at Christmas 1922, during which the great misfortune of the fire occurred. The course and the events that were taking place at the time were not interrupted.
262. Correspondence with Marie Steiner 1901–1925: 145. Letter to Rudolf Steiner 18 Mar 1915, Berlin

This last and therefore valid reciprocal will was drawn up after the marriage at Christmas 1914. Hearing in Charlottenburg on March 18, 1915 Before the undersigned notary, resident at Lutherstraße 13, Charlottenburg, in the district of the Royal Court of Appeal in Berlin, Justizrat Leopold Bischofswerder, and the two witnesses called for this act, namely: a) the porter Emil Müller from Charlottenburg, Lutherstraße 13, b) the porter's wife Anna Müller, née Tonsor, from the same address, who, like the notary, were present throughout the entire proceedings, appear today, known to the notary: 1.
259. The Fateful Year of 1923: Second Meeting with the Circle of Seven 17 Jan 1923, Stuttgart

This account was to be sent out immediately after the conclusion of the events taking place in Dornach over Christmas and New Year. The devastating event of the destruction of the Goetheanum by a maliciously set fire has meanwhile penetrated into all hearts as a terrible pain.
