Default The Days...

Do you know why all the sun gods like JC were born on Dec 25th? It's
purely astrological. That's the day after the Winter solstice the sun
moves, perceptably with the naked eye, north 1 degree, being "born
again".


Who says Christ was born on Dec 25? That's just the day his birth is
celebrated. There is considerable evidence Dec 25 was picked as an
alternative to the pagan celebrations to the solstice, though.
