How December rs Was

How many people know why Christ

How many people know why Christ
mas came to fall on December 25?
Everybody knows that it is the day
estant and Greek churches as the ma
tivity Of Christ. yet nobody knows II
it is the actual date.
The uncertainty is due to the preju-
dice of early Christians against the
celebrations of birthdays. They re-
garded such a custom as heathenish,
and made no exception, even to the
Savior's birthday.
II was not until Christianity had
triumphed. three centuries later, that
the prejudice against the observance
of birthdays died out, and an investi-
cation as to the date Of Christs birth
day was begun.
Julius, pope or bishop OF Rome.
asked St. Cyril in $50 to ascertain the
real anniversary of the nativity. ST.
Cyril reported the date to be Deem
Der %, to the best of his knowledge,
after extensive research, and the date
was accepted by Julius and promul-
gated as the anniversary of Christ's
birth. Before the end of the fifth cen
fury the date was accepted by all
Christendom.
January 6, April 20, March 20 and
March 20 are some of the dates that
were serious contenders for the dis
tinction before December Is received
the seal of Tulius' aDnroya1
Even after the date was generally
accepted by all Christian nations the
holiday had its struggles. The Eng
lish roundhead parliament of 1643
abolished Christmas and for IL years
IT was not observed In England. Roy
atty gained the ascendency, however,
and Christmas was re-established as
a national holiday.
Governor Bradford of Plymouth, in
1921, history says, had occasion to re-
Duke some young men who had come
over in the ship Fortune, following in
the trail of the Mayfower, because
their consciences would not allow
them to work on Christmas. with their
sterner Puritan brothers.
In 1859 the general court of Massa-
chusetts passed law fixing a fine of
five shillings against anyone who
should by abstinence from labor, feast
Ing or any other method. observe
Christmas.
