402. Christmas: Pagan or Christian?
The Rest Is History
The significance of the 25th of March and 25th of December
The 25th of March is the date of the incarnation of Jesus, and it is also known as Lady Day. It is identified as the day when the ring is thrown into the crack of doom in Tolkien's work. This date is the result of the Archangel Gabriel appearing to the Virgin Mary, and Jesus becoming incarnate. It is also the holiest day of the year for Christians. The 25th of December, nine months after the 25th of March, is then identified as the birth date of Jesus, based on the calculation from the date of incarnation.
