The Best Gift Ever – Cool Like Christ

Although most Christians celebrate December 25 as the birthday
of
Jesus Christ, few in the first two Christian centuries claimed
any knowledge of the
exact day or year in which he was born.

a Roman almanac that tells of Christ’s Nativity festival led by the
church of Rome in 336 A.D.
