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.

The oldest existing record of a Christmas celebration is found in
a Roman almanac that tells of Christ’s Nativity festival led by the
church of Rome in 336 A.D.

EARLIEST EVIDENCE OF CHRISTIANITY

Amulet in grave
(Frankfurt Archaeological Museum)

(FOX NEWS) – The earliest known evidence of Christianity north
of Italy was recently unveiled by archaeologists, who call the
discovery one of the "most important testimonies of early
Christianity."

The artifact, publicized by the Frankfurt Archaeological Museum
last week, is called the Frankfurt silver inscription. Discovered
in 2018, the inscription has been analyzed and studied for years
before finally being released to the public this month.

The Frankfurt silver inscription is an engraving on silver foil that
consists of 18 lines written in Latin. It dates to between 230 and
260 A.D. and was discovered wrapped in a small silver amulet.

In a press release translated from German, the museum explained
that the artifact was found in a third-century grave in Hesse,
Germany, in what was once the former Roman city of Nida.

The inscription begins, "In the name of Saint Titus, Holy, holy,
holy! In the name of Jesus Christ, God’s Son!"
