Is it true Jesus was born on 25th December?

 

There is no historical evidence to suggest that Jesus was born on December 25th. The date was chosen by the early Christian Church as a way to Christianize the traditional Roman winter solstice celebrations, which took place around the same time.

In the early 4th century, the Roman Emperor Constantine declared December 25th to be the official date of the birth of Jesus, and this date eventually became widely accepted by the Christian church.

However, the Bible does not give a specific date for Jesus' birth. The Gospel of Luke mentions that Jesus was born during the time of a Roman census, which was conducted by governor Quirinius in the years 6-7 AD. However, this does not necessarily mean that Jesus was born in the year 6 or 7 AD, as the biblical accounts of Jesus' birth do not provide a precise timeline.

Overall, the exact date of Jesus' birth is not known and is not considered to be an important aspect of the Christian faith. The celebration of Christmas on December 25th is more of a cultural tradition than a religious observance.
