Why is Christmas celebrated on 25th December?
Christmas is celebrated every year on 25th December. Christmas is celebrated to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and he is considered the son of God. Here you should also know that Christmas is also named after Christ.
At the same time, no birth date of Jesus is given in the Bible, but still, Christmas is celebrated every year on 25th December. In such a situation, we can understand that this day is celebrated as the birthday of Jesus Christ.
However, there was controversy regarding this date many times. But in 226 BC, during the reign of the first Roman Christian emperor, Christmas was celebrated only on 25 December. Then a few years later, Pope Julius officially declared the birth of Jesus to be celebrated on December 25.
In such a situation, on Christmas day, people decorate their houses, bring cakes, and also decorate the Christmas tree. On this day, houses are decorated with lighting and people celebrate this day with great happiness and love.
