G.K.Chesterton said, “Fairy tales are
more than true; not because they tell
us dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”
We read fairy tales to our children because they teach children so much about how the world works and that they do have the ability to beat the dragons. I think the stories of faith teach us in similar ways.
Not because they are fantastical like fairy tales, but because they are about ordinary people living extraordinary lives.
