Jesus Christ Born On Christmas Day

Although most christians celebrate december 25 as the birthday of jesus christ few in the first two christian centuries claimed any knowledge of the exact day or year in which he was born. While the bible is silent about the precise month or day on which jesus was born a careful investigation of the indirect circumstantial evidence of scripture provides us with a reasonable time frame. History shows that december 25 was popularized as the date for christmas not because christ was born on that day but because it was already popular in pagan religious celebrations as the birthday of the sun.
