CHRISTIANITY: The verification of the time of birth of Jesus of Nazareth is lost

. There is adequate data in the Gospels to point out that Jesus was born in the fall. By the start of the 4th century , there was extreme interest in choosing a day to celebrate Jesus birthday. The european church leaders preferred DEC-25 because this was already the day established throughout the Roman Empire as the birth of an assortment of Pagan gods. Since there was no solid christian admin at the time, it took time before the tradition was accepted:

Eastern churches began to celebrate Christmas following 300 CE.

The church inside Jerusalem started in the 7th century.

Ireland started in the 5th century

Austria, England and Switzerland in the 8th

Slavic lands in the 9th and tenth centuries. Various signs and methods allied by way of Christmas are of Pagan origin: holly, ivy, mistletoe, yule log, the giving of gifts, bedecked evergreen tree, magical reindeer. Prominent British Christians, said "Dancing, masques, , stageplays, and extra such Christmas disorders now in use with Christians, were derived these Roman Saturnalian and Bacchanalian parties which should cause all virtuous Christians perpetually to ban them." In Massachusetts, Puritans ineffectively tried to outlaw Christmas during the 17th century, because of its pagan beginings. The English Parliament abolishedChristmas in 1647. Some contemporaryChristian belief communities do not celebrate Christmas. Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate. ANCIENT ROME: Saturnalia began as a devour day for Saturn on DEC-17 . All through the Reign of the Roman Empire, the festivals were combined to envelop a complete week: DEC-17 to 23.

By the third century , there are scores of lines of faith being adopted inside the Roman Empire. Many, if not most, honored the appearance of their guru near the time of the solstice. Ruler Aurelian (270 to 275 CE) blended a number of Pagan solstice celebrations of the delivery of such gods-saviors as , Attis, Baal, Dionysus, Helios,Apollo Hercules, Horus, Mithra, Osiris, along with Perseus into a single event labeled the "Birthday of the Unconquered Sun" on DEC-25. Pagan perception in addition to Christian belief were having compettition s at this time.. Aurelian had even affirmed Mithraism the approved belief system of the Roman Empire in 274 CE. Christianity won out by becoming the modern endorsed belief in the 4th century CE.
