The day dedicated to commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ. It is set on December 25th. People often confuse the origin of that date with the birth of a sun god from a pagan religion, but it is just a coincidence and not the case. December 25th was picked as Christmas day because it is 9 months away (March 25th) from the start of Virgin Mary's pregnancy (in the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy with John the Baptist, according to Luke 1:26). It's also the reason why some church decided that Christmas is on January 6th, because they believe Virgin Mary start her pregnancy on April 6th.
