have to say i'm with jim on this.good excuse to get together with people,but a fairytale no less I've always understood that it is an unknown.....so there have been different dates in different strands of Christianity according to tradition....for example the Copts of Egypt still I believe celebrate in January. There are elements within Eastern Orthodoxy, who still reject the Gregorian Calendar, devised about 400 years ago, following the Julian calendar, so fuck knows when they have Christmas. Perhaps the key element, was the despatch of Augustine by Pope Gregory around the 600's to convert the Saxons in England. Gregory it is always thought advised Augustine to make use of traditional pagan festivities and bolt on Christian events....hence the Winter solstice, was used as a suitable date for Christmas. |
