a common date 通用日期

december 25 was a significant date for various early cultures. the ancient babylonians believed

the son of the queen of heaven was born on december 25. the egyptians celebrated the birth of

the son of the fertility goddess isis on the same date, while ancient arabs contended that the moon

was born on december 24.

the romans celebrated saturnalia, a feast named for saturn, god of agriculture, on december 21,

the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. they believed the shortest day of the year was the birthday of the sun. the roman emperor constantine was a member of the sun-cult before converting to christianity in 312.

some scholars suspect that christians chose to celebrate christs birth on december 25 to make it easier to convert the pagan tribes. referring to jesus as the light of the world also fit with existing pagan beliefs about the birth of the sun. the ancient return of the sun philosophy had been replaced by the coming of the son message of christianity.
