An OMA ChristmasMuestra

Is Christmas a Pagan Festival? What are the origins of Christmas? I am sure you have heard the argument that Christians are celebrating a pagan holiday. Multiple other gods also have their birth celebration during the winter solstice. Christians are just copying other religions. How did December 25th become known as Christmas day for Christians? Can it be true that we are following pagan celebrations? Or, are we continuing the tradition of celebrating the birth of Christ started by the early church in contrast to all the pagan festivals? Reflection Know the origin of Christmas and why we celebrate it. Be ready to defend yourself and your beliefs when someone tries to tell you that Christmas is a Pagan festival. Research more, from trusted sources, about the origins of Christmas. While Luke 2:11 is the only verse for today, I highly recommend you read Luke 2:1-20. This will give you a broader picture of the birth of Christ, the true Christmas story. The video portion of this devotional is not available on your device.
