For nearly 1,700 years, Christians has celebrated Dec 25th as the birth of Jesus Christ.
Dec 25th as Christ's birthday makes its way into a "calendar" or chronology created in 354 AD/CE called the Calendar of Filocalus or Philocalian Calendar.............listing it as the Natalis Invicti, which means "Birth of the Unconquered (Sun)..............JUST LIKE....... MITHRA !!!
#### What is seldom known is prior to that time, Christ's birth was placed on a variety of days..............Jan 5th, Jan 6th, Mar 25th, Mar 28th, Apr 19th, Apr 20th, May 20th, Aug 21st, Nov 17th and Nov 19th.
#### Many have come to understand that "Dec 25th" represents not the birthday of a "historical" savior named Jesus Christ but the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere, when the sun is said to be "born again," "renewed" or "resurrected."
#### Many earlier Gods also had their birthdays at or around Dec 25...............the birthday of the Greek god Dionysus was placed on December 25th,
#### In the sacred site at Newgrange - Ireland............. a 5,000-year-old "cross of light" representing the resurrection to life or rebirth on "Dec 25th" was found.
There are many other sites aligned to the winter solstice, such as at Goseck, Germany, which may be 7,000 years old.
The winter solstice was an important factor in human culture at least 12,000 years ago.
"'Christmas' is thus an extremely ancient celebration, predating the Christian era by many millennia."
The winter solstice celebration that developed throughout much of the inhabited world has been handed down as "Christmas," i.e., Dec 25th, the birthday of the "sun of God." "Christmas" is thus an extremely ancient celebration, predating the Christian era by many millennia.
When you try to mix science with religion, you will get confused people like Asromanista2001
Then again, science also cannot explain what is LOVE, and LOVE is invisible and has existed since beginning of mankind.
So LOVE is not real, there is actually no LOVE in this world. LOVE is only an illusion that is man-made.
And since all your unchristian GODs have no children, so shall all of you have no children including the atheists and.
To put it simply, not everyone is able to go Heaven and have relationship with GOD. And you can keep changing your theories with nonsense from Internet articles, Youtube and some weird unknown sources, but you can never deny that Christians don't need to change their stories or convictions or Bible in order to convince people to believe in Christianity as the one true religion.
Other religions does makes it complicated for people to trace and backtrack with many religious documentations.
Maybe this is why many people are LOST IN TRANSLATION.
ADMIT IT LAH.......................X'MAS has always been about the rebirth of the sun and the winter solstice........
people already celebrating Dec 25th long long before the Jesus fairytale...................even the CROSS was used by people thousands of years before .....................
those goons created a man-made religion using that............

No lah..Christmas is well-known as the birth of Jesus Christ and a public holiday where Santa Claus climb down from your chimmey to give presents to children.
Your Sun and Moon thing is just a coincidence, don't tell me you really believe it?
Are you from the 日月神教?
Would you tell your children that their birthdays were a mistake just because they happened to be born on the 25th December?
Try to tell them about your Sun and Moon thing and refused to celebrate their birthdays lor, then don't ask why when they dump you in Kallang River when you're old and useless but not senile.
is there christmas or 25 december in reality/truth. there is no I or you nor the Buddha.
People who don't recognise Christmas on 25th December can go ahead and go to work on that day or even try climbing into people's apartment dressing up as Santa Claus to surprise people's children after 25th December.
It's your own choice. I would prefer Christmas to be on 25th December and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
easter is when the gaint rabbit God jump into Jesus death cave and brought him back to life with multi-colored eggs
Big deal. No one claims to know Jesus's exact date of birth anyway.
heck..........there's absolutely no historical proof............not a speck of evidence that Jesus even ever existed !!!
even the pope himself can only tell you to believe...............he also admitted there's no proof..........

Is there evidence that Jesus never existed? And name your pope, TYVM.
the current pope lor..............in fact all the popes before him also can.............
in the middle ages there was at least 1 pope...........Leo X........or something even said this........
'' how well we know how profitable this superstitious story of Jesus has been for us......''

The (translated) quote is:
"For on a time when a cardinall Bembus did move a question out of the Gospell, the Pope gave him a very contemptuous answer saying: All ages can testifie enough how profitable that fable of Christe hath ben to us and our companie."
From Acta Romanorum Pontificum, a polemic by John Bale. It is not an verified quote from Leo X.
then maybe it was another pope..............i can't remember which one leh............their names all so confusing one.............
As long as it's an official holiday, I'm happy already!
Please don't anyhow pop, we only got one precious pop.
Pop wrongly and it's never going to come back.
