8. The real history of Christmas of religions speculation:-
An unequivocal articulation of this hypothesis shows up in an explanation of unsure date added to an original copy of a work by twelfth-century Syrian priest Jacob Bar-Salibi. The copyist who included it composed
"It was a custom of the Pagans to celebrate on a similar 25 December the birthday of the Sun, at which they fueled
lights in token of merriment. In these solemnities and celebrations, the
Christians additionally partook. As needs are, the point at which the
specialists of the Church apparent that the Christians had an inclining to this
celebration, they consulted and settled that the genuine Nativity ought to be
solemnized on that day."
In 1743, German Protestant Paul
Ernst Jablonski contended Christmas was set on December 25 to relate with the Roman sun-powered occasion Dies
Natalis Solis Invicti and was, accordingly, a "paganization" that corrupted
the genuine church. It has been contended that, despite what might be expected,
Emperor Aurelian, who in 274 initiated the occasion of
the Dies Natalis Solis Invicti did so mostly as an endeavour to give an
agnostic criticalness to date effectively significant for Christians in Rome.
Hermann Usener and others recommended that the
Christians picked this day since it was the Roman dining experience praising
the birthday of Sol Invictus. Present-day researcher S. E. Hijmans,
notwithstanding, states that "While they knew that agnostics considered
this day the 'birthday' of Sol Invictus, this didn't concern them and it didn't
assume any job in their decision of date for Christmas." Moreover, Thomas
J.
Talley holds that the Roman Emperor Aurelian set a celebration of Sol Invictus on December 25 so as to rival the developing the pace of the Christian Church, which had just been observing Christmas on that date first. In the judgment of the Church of England Liturgical Commission, the History of Religions theory has been tested by a view-dependent on an old custom, as per which the date of Christmas was fixed at nine months after March 25, the date of the vernal equinox, on which the Annunciation was commended.

The Calculation
speculation is considered scholastically to be "an altogether reasonable
theory", however not certain. It was a conventional Jewish conviction that
incredible men were conceived and kicked the bucket around the same time, so
carried on an entire number of years, without parts Jesus was in this manner
considered to have been imagined on March 25,
as he passed on March 25, which was determined to have agreed with 14 Nisan. An entry in Commentary on the Prophet Daniel (204) by Hippolytus of Rome distinguishes December 25 as the date of the nativity. This entry is commonly viewed as a late interpellation. However, the composition incorporates another section, one that is bound to be valid, that gives the enthusiasm as March 25.

In 221, Sextus
Julius Africanus (c. 160 – c. 240) gave March 25 as the day of creation and of
the origination of Jesus in his general history. This end depended on

birth in December, it is now and then professed to be the soonest recognizable
proof of December 25 as the nativity. In any case, Africanus was not such a
powerful author, that it is likely he decided the date of Christmas.
The tractate De
solstitial et equinoctial origination is et nativitatis Domini nostri Iesu
Christi et Iohannis Baptistae, dishonestly ascribed to John Chrysostom,
additionally contended that Jesus was considered and executed around the same
time of the year and determined this as March 25.
This unknown tract likewise states: "Yet Our Lord, as well, is conceived in the period of December ... the eight preceding the calends of January [25 December] ..., But they consider it the 'Birthday of the Unconquered'. Who for sure is so unconquered as Our Lord...? Or on the other hand, in the event that they state that it is the birthday of the Sun, He is the Sun of Justice."

In 1743, the
German Protestant Paul Ernst Jablonski's argument Christmas Natalis Solis
Invicti died on December 25 to coincide with the Roman sun-powered event and,
accordingly, a "pagan ratio" that corrupted the true church. It has
