DidYouKnow+FollowThe Bible never says Jesus was born in December. Christmas feels ancient. December 25 feels biblical. But the Bible never gives a date. The December celebration comes from later historical decisions, not from Scripture. That matters, because many believers confuse tradition with revelation. They feel faith is threatened when history gets questioned. But Scripture was never concerned with dates. It was concerned with meaning. Jesus’ birth was about God entering human time— not marking a day on a calendar. If learning this unsettles you, that does not mean faith is cracking. It means tradition and text are finally being separated. #BibleMisconceptions #MandelaEffect #ChristmasHistory #JesusBirth #DidYouKnow6831Share
Teresa Graham+FollowWait, the Three Wise Men Weren’t Kings?!Turns out, everything we thought we knew about the Three Wise Men might be wrong! An archaeologist just dropped a theory that they weren’t kings or even a trio. Instead, they could’ve been Nabataean priests or astrologers from an ancient Middle Eastern kingdom. And get this—the Bible never actually says there were three of them, just three gifts. Mind. Blown. Christmas nativity scenes may never look the same again! #Religion #ChristmasHistory #ThreeWiseMen40Share

From evergreen trees to gift-giving, Christmas has picked up some seriously quirky traditions around the world. Who knew? #Culture #ChristmasHistory #SantaClaus80Share
Lindsey Medina+FollowChristmas Traditions You Never KnewChristmas wasn’t always about Santa, trees, or even Dec. 25!

Vickie Scott+FollowWhy We Call It ‘Christmas’—Not Yule!Ever wondered why we say ‘Christmas’ instead of ‘Yuletide’ or just ‘the holidays’? Turns out, ‘Christmas’ literally means ‘Christ’s Mass’—a church service celebrating Jesus’s birth. The word mashed together over centuries, pushing out the older, more pagan ‘Yule’ as Christianity took over in England. So next time you hear ‘Merry Christmas,’ you’re actually referencing a medieval church service! #Culture #ChristmasHistory #FunFacts211Share
