Why we celebrate Christmas ? Jesus didn't even born on 25th December. Why Christians put Christmas on particular date 25th December? Was it is due to Pope Julius who officially declared that the birth of Jesus would be on the 25th December? Why that particular day is so special?
Not all Christians celebrate Christmas on December 25. Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas on 7 January. This is due to the difference in the Julian and Gregorian calendars.
