THE REASON WHY WE DO NOT CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS
We do not believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was born on December 25, A.D. 1 for several reasons: December is winter time in the Palestine region and the whole land would be wet. On that occasion, according to the Scripture, the shepherds were out in the fields watching their flocks by night [Luke 2:8]. The shepherds will never bring out their flocks into the field during rainy season because the sheep will get sick and die. The baby was wrapped only in swaddling clothes and yet He did not freeze to death (Luke 2:7) because it was not December. The registration of all citizen of the SPQR (Senatus Populusque Romanus: Senate and Roman's People) took place during summer (Luke 2:1). Luke mentioned Quirinnus the governor of Syria whom the Roman Emperor Ceasar Augustus visited in Syria sometime in March where he signed the decree for the worldwide census. The census took effect 30 days after I’*s signing. It was bishop Liberium of Rome (the fox) who officially proclaimed in A.D.
