Christmas is December 25th


About 166 years Before the birth of Christ, Israel was a defeated nation under the Seleucid (Syrian) Empire's rule. Many people of the Isreal nation worshipped and sacrificed to the Greek and Syrian pagan gods inside God's Holy Temple.

Judah Maccabee and his 4 brothers led a revolt and after many battles freed Israel. On the day of their victory they removed the pagan statues and alters from the temple, cleansed it, and restored proper God worship. The festival of Hanukkah celebrates the victory, re-dedication of the temple, and the reconcilliation of the people to God.

About 166 years later a child was born on the same day. His name is Jesus. He came to give the people victory, to re-dedicate them and to reconcile them to God.

On our calendar, although years apart, the day of Victory, re-dedication of the temple, and the birth of Jesus was December 25th. Don't be deceived by those who spread doubt. We do know when Christ was born. Our God is big enough to preserve His son's birth date so that we may celebrate it in truth, and with great joy.

'For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a savior, who is Christ the Lord.' Luke 2:11
