How did the ancients and medieval Christians view the passage of time? In this reflective episode of The Pilgrim’s Interests, Blake Hart explores the profound ways past cultures marked the turning of the year—not as mere calendar dates but as sacred thresholds filled with meaning. From ancient Mesopotamian rituals and Roman celebrations to the rhythms of the medieval liturgical calendar, we’ll uncover how these practices offered order, renewal, and connection to the divine.

As we stand on the cusp of a new year, this episode invites you to reclaim time as a gift rather than a commodity. Discover how ancient wisdom can inspire intentional living today, guiding us to embrace rhythms of rest, reflection, and renewal. Whether you’re planning resolutions or simply seeking deeper meaning, join us as we step into a year shaped by sacred rhythms.
