Celebrating Christmas?

Is Christmas rooted in pagan traditions? Should Christians celebrate it? These questions spark debate among believers, but the answers lie in a careful examination of history and Scripture. The claim that December 25th is a borrowed pagan festival is challenged by evidence pointing to its roots in early Christian observances and Jewish traditions.

Rather than avoiding celebrations due to perceived pagan connections, Christians are reminded of their liberty in Christ, as guided by Scripture. Dr Jonathan Sarfati explores these ideas, addressing misconceptions with logical and historical clarity, and encouraging believers to consider the true significance of celebrating Christ’s birth.
