HISTORY
The first
recorded date of Christmas started Christmas on 25th of December in 336, during the time of the Roman Emperor
Constantine. This Roman Emperor was the first Christian Roman Emperor. At the
time he was celebrating it, it was not yet an official Roman State Festival.
Pop Julius was the one who choose December 25 as a day to celebrate the birth of Christ. It is commonly believed that the church chooses this date in an effort to remove and stop the tradition of the pagan Saturnalia festival.
