Bringing the Christmas Cheer on this Christmas day – sent by Charles Schokman
Lets you did not know?
Many years before the birth of Jesus Christ, the 25th. of December was the Pagan,s day for sacrifices to their gods and celebrations .
Later on, in the year 533 AD , the newly converted Christian Emperor Constantine of Rome and head of the Roman Church ( today the Roman
Catholic Church ) changed it to be the day to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. He called the day “ The Mass for Christ “ ie. CHRISTMAS.
CHRIST in Hebrew means “ The Anointed One “ or “ The Chosen One “.
Thus CHRISTMAS means “ The Gathering of People of Christ “ – His Disciples and Followers .
After it was universally accepted and revered as the day to commemorate the birth of the Messiah of the World, Jesus Christ, the Anti Christs and Atheists preferred to call the occasion “ XMAS “ , removing the name of Christ and inserting the Algebraic symbol for the “unknown – “ X “, in keeping with their belief that there is no God . Thus it would be improper for Christians to call or refer to this Holy day as “ Xmas “.
