For those who might wonder why Christmas is celebrated December 25, you'll be interested in Albert Mohler's blog dated December 12. In it he refers to the December 10 issue of World Magazine and a 2003 article in Touchstone magazine by William Tighe.
Conventional wisdom states that Christmas had its origin in a pagan winter solstice festival, which the church took over. But this view is a historical myth. You need to read these articles. You'll find links at www.albertmohler.com.
For those who do not know, Dr. Mohler is president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY.
