Bible Question:
Christmas, What is it all about? Is it Biblical, if yes, give biblical reference. Is 25th of December the real birth day of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? |
Bible Answer: Hope not to be repetitive, but as others have posted Christmas is the celebration of the birth of the Messiah Jesus (found in early Matthew and Luke). Dec 25 (or around there) was a pagan holiday initially but Christians decided to celebrate the birth of Jesus instead.. and interestingly, what is the more popular holiday now... the pagan one or Christmas? (although Christmas here has actually become self-centered..) And, I have also heard that Christ actually probably was not born in the month of December. Praising God for the birth of Jesus is not against Scripture at all that I can see.. it's how you do it that's important. |
