In the 4th century, to more easily 'win' the heathen to Christanity, the roman 'church' adopted the 25th of December as the birthday of Christ. They took a heathen Babylonian festival,celebrating the BD of the son of the pagan "queen of heaven" and gave it a Christan coloring and covering to satisfy UNREGENERATE human hearts and minds. Shame on all you who profess to be Christians! You do dishonour His Blessed Name.
