in establishing the date by
which Christmas is celebrated
commemorating the birth of
Christ, it is interestingt note
that Christendom did not be-
gin its calendar computations
until almost 550 years after the
birth of Christ.
-------------------Mueh of the Christmas story
is still unknown and'untold;
but legend and story has trac*
ed its history since the begin-
nipg .when Christ preached a-
' mong: the people, “Love thy
neighbor as thyself.” 2
Christ was thirty years of
age when the people of His
time recognized Him as the
Messiah of God. In face of the
shepherds and Three Wise Men,
it wasn’t until the Holy Spirit
descended upon Him at the bap-
tism in the Jordan that His
* teaehings were accepted by the
Christian world.
And it wasn’t until the third
century that the western coun-
------trtes jettpiml Him its ’lie Mnnj
‛ of God since His birth. Each
of the four Gospel narratives,
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and
John, testify ’to this.
Since the beginning of the rec-
-----wdings of early—civilization—
from the most primitive soci-
ties—it was believed that the
period of time when the winter
solstjce ended and the sun took
on new strength to give bril-
liance, light and fertility to the
world. a period of joyousness
and thanks should be celebrat-
ed throughout the world, a
