| The word Christmas
comes from the old English "Cristes maesse"
meaning Christ's Mass. The Holiday celebrates
the birth of Jesus Christ. The actual birthday
of Jesus is not known; therefore, the early
Church Fathers in the 4th century fixed the
day around the old Roman Saturnalia festival
(17 - 21 December), a traditional pagan festivity.
The first mention of the birthday of Jesus
is from the year 354 AD. Gradually all Christian
churches, except Armenians who celebrate Christmas
on January 6 (the date of the baptism of Jesus
as well as the day of the three Magi), accepted
the date of December 25th.
