THE DATE FOR CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS WAS CHOSEN AS DECEMBER 25 BY THE ROMAN EMPEROR CONSTANTINE IN THE 4TH CENTURY AS IT WAS THE BIRTHDAY OF THE POPULAR ROMAN PAGAN SUN GOD “MITHRAS”.
“Hear what the Lord says to you, people of Israel. This is what the Lord says: “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in the heavens, though the nations are terrified by them. For the practices of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter. Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field, their idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them; they can do no harm nor can they do any good.” - Jeremiah 10:1-5
