Rosh Hashanah

there’s another even more profound significance to Rosh Hashanah that has been obscured in our history due to the influence of pagan religion in our lives combined with the concerted effort made in the 4th Century to deny the Jewish roots of Christianity. It has to do with the birth of our Lord.

Is that how you celebrate yours and your families birthdays?

December 25 was chosen as the best birthdate for Jesus because some believed March 25 was a good candidate date for Jesus' immaculate conception. Add 9 months to that and they came up with December 25 for his birthdate. https://drabruzzi.com/date_of_jesus_birth.htm

yes... it makes us seem a bit more mature.

The article gives a better explanation of why their date as being the more reliable one.

Great post.

Any physician considering altering a child's gender should be required to read it before substituting their 'medical' decision made without consideration of soul / karma is changing a decision from God, who does consider soul / karma.

You hear that, Kaiser and Molina? Arrogant SOBs.

I respectfully disagree. I have problems with what's in the article.

For starters, it insinuates that putting Christmas on December 25 overrode the Feast of Saturnalia. It did not. Saturnalia was held from Dec 17 to Dec 23 for a while. The Augustus changed it to 3 days, later Caligula (mid 1st century) changed it to 5 days (ending Dec 21). https://www.worldhistory.org/Saturnalia/ Thus, Saturnalia officially hadn't been on Dec 25 for centuries before the Christians gave serious thought about dating Jesus' birth.

By the way, the Romans had a festival for just about everything all year round. It would be pretty hard for the Christians to pick a day for Jesus' birth without it being at least close to some days-long or weeks-long Roman festival.
