The first Christmas
5 Answers
No not all that tommy rot about the ox and the ass and the wise men.
The real first Christmas - the first time that December 25th was used to celebrate Jesus' birth.
When was it? who decided to do it and who was there?
Anybody know? I see some reference to 440AD surely it's not that late!
