Christmas date adopted in 354 by Liberius of Rome
In 354 AD the date December 25 was chosen for Christmas by order of Bishop Liberius of Rome. The selection linked to the sun feast at the winter solstice, celebrating light over darkness, and Christians reframed it to honor Christ as the light of life.
