no, that was monday. Dec 25 was the Mithras' birthday, a popular persion/roman deity during the fourth century around the time of Constantine. 'sol invictus'
but we can celebrate Jesus' birthday whenever we want to can't we? And since millions of people are sincerely celebrating this evening, why fuss and fight over boring legalism? Faith is a matter of the heart, not the logic of the mind.
much love to you all..
