What is Christmas Day 2024?

The birth of Jesus Christ, the main figure in Christianity, is commemorated on Christmas Day. On this day, Christians celebrate the hope and salvation that Jesus birth signifies, attend church services, and think back on the nativity tale. Additionally, Christmas is now a secular and cultural holiday that is observed by individuals from all walks of life. It is frequently marked by the sharing of holiday greetings, celebratory feasts, and gifts.

History of Christmas Day 

  • The fact is that no one knows for sure when and where Jesus was born. Similar stories are told by the apostles Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in the Bible’s New Testament, although they never say when Jesus was born. Sextus Julius Africanus, the earliest Christian historian, is largely responsible for the creation of December 25.
  • One hypothesis as to why December 25 was chosen as the official date for Christmas is because the early church wanted to link the birth of the Son of God with the “rebirth of the sun,” which takes place after the winter equinox. Another perspective based the date on March 25, which is the spring equinox, as the day of Jesus conception. Jesus would be born on December 25, precisely nine months later.
