To all staff members of the Lloyds Bank,Teheran
"As the Western world celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, who represents new hope,
We are thinking of you and your families and wish you a prosperous New Year as well."
Dear Mohammad,
These scratches represent the battle between LIGHT & DARKNESS.
It is doubtful whether Jesus was born on December 25. The leaders of the early religions cunningly integrated the pagan festival of the return of light into their own Christian religion.
December 21 is the day with the shortest daylight in our hemisphere (you can put it another way, it is the day with the longest night.).
Light represents life and hope. More light is more life and more hope. After December 21, light will prevail over darkness.
Have you heard the story about the good Lord, who felt sorry for the fact that angels lived alone in heaven. To comfort us, he created another creature with wings to live on earth. We call these creatures birds. The earthly angels are clearly different from the angels in heaven. The former are still fighting over the controversial worm!!
I wanted to share these few thoughts with you in these current days of darkness.
Thank you very much for the great cooperation between you and Rotterdam 1988. AdriaanDD
