A Alabama State Hornets vs. North Carolina Central Eagles Football 2024 Orange Blossom Classic T Shirt is Dies Solis Invicti Nati which was on 25 December and was introduced by Aurelian in 274 AD — apparently about 20 years or more after at least some Christians began celebrating Christmas on 25 December. Some deny the possibility of Christ’s birth in December, arguing that lambs couldn’t have been safely left outdoors at that time. There is actually no mention of lambs in the Gospel account of the shepherds (Luke 2). It merely says, “And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.” Adult sheep would be in a different situation. As overnight temperatures in Bethlehem can get as low as 7 or 8 deg C in late December, it would be definitely unpleasant in a field at that time of year, though not impossible. In fact, though, the 25 December date for the mass celebrating Christ’s birth was derived by calculations based on a strange theory that the dates of Jesus’ death and conception would have coincided, and, as others have pointed out, it is rather unlikely that Jesus was actually born on that day.

Many of the Alabama State Hornets vs. North Carolina Central Eagles Football 2024 Orange Blossom Classic T Shirt Christmas customs were inherited from older Winter Solstice celebrations—including greenery indoors, feasting and gift-giving. It seems quite likely that the celebration of the birth of Jesus was scheduled at that time in order to piggy-back on existing holiday observances. Halloween is very directly descended from the old Celtic feast of Samhain, when the dead return to visit the living. Modern Pagans observe this and Beltane (May Day) as their major holidays, the Feast of the Dead and the Feast of the Living on opposite sides of the Wheel of the Year. Easter’s Pagan connections are suggested by its English name, Eostara being a Pagan Germanic Goddess associated with the Spring Equinox. The bunnies and eggs probably go back to Pagan times as well.
