Why do Christians celebrate Christmas on December 25?
Most believers have heard the traditions, but very few know the real story. In this teaching, we journey through calendars and ancient festivals to uncover how December 25 became known as the birthday of Christ—and whether that claim stands on Scripture, history, or something far older.
If you’ve ever wondered about the true origins of Christmas, the history of December 25, this lesson will give you the clarity you’ve been searching for. We walk through the timeline step by step, cutting through myth and custom to lay bare what the historical record actually reveals.
Too long have half-truths and traditions stood in the place of understanding. Here you’ll find more than a history lesson—you’ll find a call to discernment, a return to Scripture, and the God Honest Truth about how December 25 rose to prominence in the Christian world.
