Holidays on December 25

Answer 1

Far more than Christmas is celebrated on the 25th of December. It marks the first day after the winter solstice on which the length of the days begins to grown noticeably longer.

It represents constitution day in China, and is celebrated as the birthday of many dieties throughout the ages. Saturnalia falls on this day, as does the celebration of the birth of Jesus, Dionysus, Mithra, Osiris, Horus, Attis, Krishna, Zoroaster/Zarathustra, Heracles, Tammuz, Adonis, Hermes, Bacchus, and Prometheus, as well as more that have been lost to the annals of history, most likely.
