Celebration of Christmas and its Meaning

Once again Christmas is here. On 25^th of December people normally show love to people they care about because God in his infinite mercies to mankind sent his only begotten Son Jesus Christ to come and die for mankind.

The day has been set to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ by Christians all over the world. The Date 25th December and the name Christmas didn't come into existence until 325 AD when Western Church, based in Rome, chose December 25 to celebrate the coming of Christ into the world. In English, this day was known as "Christ's Mass" which became "Christmas." The Eastern Church rather chose January 6. The day was named Epiphany, meaning "appearance." Eventually the period from December 25 to January 6 became known as the Twelve Days of Christmas.

But the question is whether Christians know the date when Jesus Christ was born. 

According to last triumph ministries the date of December 25th came from Rome and was a celebration of the Italic god, Saturn, and the rebirth of the sun god and the day was celebrated long before the birth of Christ. Christmas is a Roman Catholic word which in itself reveals who married paganism to Christianity and also is a combination of the two words "Christ" and "Mass.

The word "Mass" means death and was coined originally by the Roman Catholic Church, and belongs exclusively to the Church of Rome. 

The ritual of the Mass involves the death of Christ, and the distribution of the "Host", a word taken from the Latin word "hostiall" meaning victim. It was noted by the pre-Christian Romans and other pagans, that daylight began to increase after December 22nd, when they assumed that the sun god died. 

These ancients believed that the sun god rose from the dead three days later as the new-born and venerable sun. 

Thus, they figured that to be the reason for increasing daylight.

This was a cause for much wild excitement and celebration. Gift giving and merriment filled the temples of ancient Rome, as sacred priests of Saturn, called dendrophori, carried wreaths of evergreen boughs in procession. 

And since then, the date 25 of December has been celebrated all over the world by Christians and non-Christians. In celebrating this day they either decorate their homes, shops or buying gifts for loved ones or receiving gifts or hampers from friends.
