I have a curiosity about our celebrations, for instance Christmas, based on Jesus birth. It is not biblical.
25 December is a pagan date, commemoration of Mitra's birth and not Jesus's birth.
The only clue about Jesus birth is that of the shepherds who visited Him, they were still in the fields, which lets us eliminate the month of December, as the harsh winter in the northern hemisphere did not allow the action.
And I never saw a Christian not celebrating the Christmas even it been a pagan celebration.
There are other dates that I have doubts but I'll leave them for another question later.
Is my information correct about it?
