1.Y UE NATIVITY UNKNOWN Word Has Cn,y Tradition 10 Rely u7c1 as to Date of the Bir;h
 Of Christ.

Tae traditional 25rh of December as the date of the birth of the Savior has uo historical authority beyond the fourth century. when the Christmas festival wuS introduced first in Rome lA. r 3rD), Ou the basis Of several RO- man festivals (the Sulurnulla. Sidl- la.tu. Juvruulia.

The only indication of tlc season of ChriSC'S birth is the fact that the shepherds were watching their flockS in the field at the time Uuke ll:S), and this fact points to my other season rather than winter, and is, therefore, not favorable to the traditional date. Besides, the ancient tradition Is of no account here, as 1t varied down tO the fourth century. Clement of Alexandria relates that snme regarded the 25th, PachOn q. e., May 2O), others the 2+th or 25th, Phar- murhi (April 19 or 2O), as the day ot Nativity.
 AS to modern research, the. 9afy point on which divines generally. ssrec is that Christ was not born on Christ mas day, while numerous lesgned au- thovities put the birth on sisiost every date of the year.
