Description

The actual birthday of Jesus was forgotten by the early Christian movement. Various groups at the time celebrated his birth on JAN-6, APR-21, MAY-1 etc. By the 4th century, the church selected the approximate time of the winter solstice as the date to recognize Jesus' birth. They picked up this date from Pagan sources.
The winter solstice occurs about DEC-21 each year. It is the day of the year when the night is longest and the daytime shortest. It was a time of high anxiety throughout the Northern Hemisphere. For the previous six months, the daylight hours had been progressively shortening and the noonday Sun had been lower in the sky each day. There was a fear that the Sun would continue this trend, that the cold season might continue forever, and warmth might never return to Earth.
Using the crude instruments available, ancient astronomers were able to detect by DEC-25 of each year that the daytime had become noticeably longer and the noonday Sun was once more higher in the sky. This date was chosen, and remains, the traditional date for followers of many different Pagan an Neopagan religions to celebrate the rebirth of the Sun.
Following the solstice, each succeeding day has slightly more sunlight than the previous day. It was interpreted as a promise that warmth would return once more to the Earth. Numerous pre-Christian Pagan religions honored a birth or rebirth of one of their gods or goddesses on or about that day. Their deities were typically called: Son of Man, Light of the World, Sun of Righteousness, Bridegroom, and Savior.
