Did Christianity steal December 25 as the birth of Jesus from pagan festivals?

We don't know when he was born, and neither do you. The fact is that the early Christians believed he was born on December 25th, or close to it. The ancient Hebrews had a belief that all holy men of God died on their conception date.

So if Jesus died in March (which would have been around Passover), and that was his date of conception, that would make his birth in December. This isn't to say he was born in December only that it was believed at that time. It has nothing to do with Nimrod or pagan celebrations.

This notion was made popular by anti-Catholics. There are other facts that lead to evidence of the possibility that Christ was born in December. It's actually rather interesting.

It doesn't really matter what day he was born. The point is to defend and prove that the day was selected to celebrate his birth and that there is evidence that this day was believed to be his birthday, early on.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
