What is Christmas?
Quote:
|
The word Christmas comes from "Christ-Mass," a celebration at the solar solstice of winter for the rebirth of the solar force in matter. That solar force is called Christ by Christians, but is known by other names in other traditions. Christ is not one individual. Christ is a cosmic principle that we must assimilate within our physical, psychic, somatic and spiritual nature.

Why do we celebrate Christmas?
We celebrate Christmas in remembrance of the birth of Jesus Christ. But did you also know in some study December 25th is not the real birthday of Jesus Christ???
Quote:
I have come to the conclusion that Christ's birth date is on a unknown date somewhere in March or April. Israel is in the northern hemisphere and in December it almost always snows in Israel.
The bottom line is the Bible doesn't give us the exact date so we don't know when it was.
