Christmas

Present world is populated with Christian community mostly. This is why it claims the biggest religion prevalent in the world.

Well, it’s the month in which its convenor Jesus Christ was born. Yes! Pan Christian community sways and sings in the same tune on 25th December.  I bet most of you would be unaware of its genesis. Let I share the hidden fact beneath this tradition’s rise.

No mention of Christ’s birth in holy Bible: Christian’s scripture Bible is the evidence of god’s saying. This holy book does not have any specify Jesus’ birth date. It was only in 3rd century when this religion was evolved. It was 25th December in 336 during the reign of Roman king ‘Constantine’ when the celebration began.

Perhaps, Coincide with Pagan Fest: Pagan is the Roman festival time when the sun and Saturn (Saturnalia) are honoured.  Many saint of that time had conflict over Christmas day. The tiff ended with the selected date.  Bible reads the prophecy on 25 March that the Son of God (saviour & the man of righteousness) would take birth after 9 months. And 25th December is that day which coincided with Pagan festival.

Jewish fest ‘Hanukkah’ coincides:  Jews celebrate the festival of light every year. It is dedicated to the sun. Being coincided with Christmas, this fest was renamed & dedicated to Jesus. Christ was also a Jew. People began observing it in wild manner. Throwing wild party became a tradition. Thus, the legislators of Massachusetts in colonial America banned it. But later, Julius I re-started it.

Jesus born during ‘Passover’ fest in Bethleham: Pan Jerusalem was busy in celebration of their freedom from the slavery when Christ was about to take birth. It broke the bondage after 1500 years. Thus, ‘Passover’ fest came in to tradition. Mariam and Joseph were on the way to that place for the procession. But since Jews had to live outside, Mari (possibly) had to give birth in the stable of an inn. This is why the phrase (no room in the inn was used in the holy Bible. It was the spring season. So, this date was assumed as Jesus’s date of birth.
