Scientists found new evidence of the true date of Jesus Christ's birth.

According to ТСН: Christians from various corners of the world, except for a few, celebrate Christmas, the birthday of Jesus, on December 25. It is from this date that the modern calendar takes its start. However, scientists from around the world are trying to figure out when Jesus really was born.

The history of Christmas celebration

Christmas did not become a popular holiday among Christians in the first centuries of Christianity. Easter and Epiphany began to be celebrated only in the 2nd century AD. The first documented mention of Christ's birth on December 25 dates back to the 3rd century and is associated with Hippolytus of Rome.

Disputes about the date of birth

For Christmas to become an integral part of Christian tradition, a significant amount of time passed. Around this same time, disputes arose regarding the date of Jesus' birth: December 25 or perhaps another date. The most likely periods of the year are considered winter or spring, but the Gospels do not provide clear indications of this event.

Connection with Roman holidays

Since the 12th century, people have noticed a connection between December 25 and the Roman holiday Sol Invictus, which symbolized the unconquered Sun and celebrated the time after the winter solstice when days begin to lengthen.

Moreover, December 25 has a close connection with ancient winter solstice celebrations that were popular throughout Europe and the Middle East.

Let us remind you, scientists have shown the true appearance of Jesus Christ.

Thus, the celebration of Christmas on December 25 became the result of a long historical process that combines folk traditions and religious views. This holiday, which unites billions of people, continues to spark discussions about its origins and significance in the modern world.
