There. Now is the long awaited moment for those who like the wake of year-end, including the Christmas! Christmas over the years becomes more and more a non-religious festival, following the steady decline of Christianity, and so much more! Do not forget that even when This Christmas was originally a pagan popular rendezvous and festive, to celebrate the winter solstice. People were open presents, centuries before the birth of consumer society!
This festival was subsequently Christianized ( vampirized) by successive Popes Catholic trying to bring back the life of the city to the religious and the Bible to make it work right the populace (objective sought by the clergy has always been under cover Humanism disheveled). There is no date indicating the birth of Christ in the Gospels. 24 and December 25 were ultimately no scientific reality s As regards the Christians (and few people know) and this feast Winter Solstice has come back to the people.
"The Birth of Jesus is celebrated by Christians of East and West December 25. Some Orthodox Churches (those of Jerusalem, Russia, Serbia and Mount Athos) use the Julian calendar: for them, December 25 currently falls on January 7. No text in the Gospels does not specify the period of the year when this event took place. The Pope Liberius who decides, in 354, that Christmas will be celebrated on December 25, coding the first celebration to be able to assimilate and pagan festivals, celebrated around the winter solstice. For symbolic reasons and in order to Christianize the ancient pagan festivals that date was gradually extended throughout the Latin West. This new date was quickly adopted in the East (a sermon of St. John Chrysostom attests) and it supplants the ancient date of January 6. Only the Armenian Church has preserved the ancient custom of celebrating together, January 6, both the Nativity, Adoration of the Magi and the Baptism of Christ. On 6 January, the Eastern Churches are celebrating today the baptism of Christ and the Adoration of the Magi Westerners, events related to the advent of Christ in the world. " (Source Wikipedia)
