Christmas: Is 25 December Truly Jesus' Birthday? by lightnlife: 7:56am On Dec 25, 2022
YES! There is no biblical account or clear historical data of the exact date or time that King Jesus was born.

So, why do Christians celebrate his birthday every 25th of December, you ask?

First, it's my utmost believe that a date or thing is whatever you (humans) decide it is or will be.

For instance, every year the world marks/celebrates 8th of March as International Women's Day and 19th of November as International Men's Day. Does that mean that's the exact day all women and men were born? Correct answer! shocked

It's same way we know the 25th of December isn't Jesus' birthday but we decide to mark it as his birthday. Romans 14:1-12

In fact, based on history, Jesus' birthday (Christmas) used to be celebrated on the 6th of January.

The general idea around choosing a date for the celebration is premised on the seasonal pattern and activities that during his birth as foretold and witnessed with many accounts confirming same in the bible.

If you've asked a really old person for their age, most won't be able to tell you the exact date but they would be able to relate it to certain seasons, times and events, giving you a clue to the timeline.

Same applies to the dateline of Jesus'birthday. December 25 isn't the actual date but we choose this date to recognise his birth because he commenced the physical confirmation of God's eternal deliverance for humanity. So, we rejoice with deep understanding and assurance that our redeemer was born that we might die no more. GLORY!!!

Today, don't just think of Jesus as a baby, he is your Saviour. He brings PEACE, PURITY, POWER, PERMANENCY.

Merry Christmas

December 25 is just a date chosen to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. No actual evidence he was born that day.

So one of the numerous Christians who claim to have personal relationship with Jesus can't find out directly from him when he was actually born to settle this matter?

If any of you is truly willing to learn the logic around Christianity, feel free to ask your questions with an open mind.

It appears you've been exposed to fundamental lies and half-truths about Christianity all along.

All I've done here is to explain 25 Dec in its most logical way.

Don't mind me . Just having a laugh.

I don't think it matters now when Jesus was born. What matters is what the whole world has made of it; an holiday season for sending and receiving love.
It's only a sadist that would feel unhappy about that.

Merry Christmas!

The Bible offers few clues on the birth of Jesus Christ. Celebrations of Jesus’ Nativity are not mentioned in the Gospels or Acts; the date is not given, not even the time of year. The Biblical reference to shepherds tending their flocks at night when they hear the news of Jesus’ birth ( Luke 2 : 8 ) might suggest the spring lambing season; in the cold month of December, on the other hand, sheep might well have been pen.


This stands in sharp contrast to the very early traditions surrounding Jesus’ last days. Each of the Four Gospels provides detailed information about the time of Jesus’ death. According to John, Jesus is crucified just as the Passover lambs are being sacrificed. This would have occurred on the 14th of the Hebrew month of Nisan, just before the Jewish holiday began at sundown (considered the beginning of the 15th day because in the Hebrew calendar, days begin at sundown). In Matthew, Mark and Luke, however, the Last Supper is held after sundown, on the beginning of the 15th. Jesus is crucified the next morning—still, the 15th.

There is another way to account for the origins of Christmas on December 25: Strange as it may seem, the key to dating Jesus’ birth may lie in the dating of Jesus’ death at Passover.

Around 200 C.E. Tertullian of Carthage reported the calculation that the 14th of Nisan (the day of the crucifixion according to the Gospel of John) in the year Jesus died was equivalent to March 25 in the Roman (solar) calendar.9 March 25 is, of course, nine months before December 25; it was later recognized as the Feast of the Annunciation—the commemoration of Jesus’ conception. Thus, Jesus was believed to have been conceived and crucified on the same day of the year. Exactly nine months later, Jesus was born, on December 25.


This is how New year arose;

since you agreed with me that your prophet Muhammad was not circumcised no how you will know that a Circumcision is after EIGHT DAYS.. From December 25th to January 1st is how many days??

Luke 2:21

And when eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.

Many are just trying to justify the ongoing pagan celebration!

I'm still expecting someone that'll tell me Jesus and his disciples drank wine and eat bread for Christmas and new year!

The origin is pagan!

Period!
