“Don`t celebrate Christmas. It has a pagan background!” Iglesia Ni Cristo, Dating Daan, Jehovas Witnesses and Seventh day Adventist are not ready to celebrate Christmas with the whole world as they believe the birth of Jesus is not written in the Bible and some practices related to this celebration, has it`s pagan background! In order to realize the foolishness of their stand we have to analyze some facts (historical and biblical, commonsense and reason) related to the celebration of Christmas on 25th December.
As we all know, the birth of Jesus is written in the bible; not it`s day and date. We celebrate Christmas on 25th of December not because the particular ` date’ is important, but the event that we remember on that date, which divided the history into two, is very essential for our salvation. The Bible doesn`t say exact date of Christ`s birth as December 25, and even the calendar that we use today was not existent at that time! Just like any other feast in the Catholic Church, (Good Friday, Easter Sunday etc…) we commemorate, are essential mysteries for our salvation.
