#jesus #therealchristmas #dec25th #jesus
25th of Dec is nowhere in the Bible mentioned as the birth date of Jesus. Was he at least born in December? The answer is ‘No’. Around Jesus’ birth, the parents Mary and Joseph traveled to their hometown for the Roman Census. Historians say, it’s highly unlikely to conduct the census in winter as the turnout would be low. Also, we read about the presence of shepherds watching over their flocks. Many interpretations say the weather at the end of December would not have permitted the shepherds to tend to their flocks. So it would have been during a warmer month.
Then who fixed this date? During the 3rd century, the pagan Rome society was turning into a Christian society. Rome also became the capital of Christianity. However, the pagan culture and beliefs were deep-rooted in their lives. The pagan festival Saturnalia was celebrated from Dec 17th to Dec 25th. The last day marks the birthday of the Roman God Saturn. Many believe that this pagan celebration transitioned to a Christmas celebration. There is no clear account of who moved it, but possibly the church.
