Origin and glory of Christmas by Rev Charles B Mitchell

The essay traces Christmas origins to ancient solstice celebrations in Persia and Rome, then explains how early Christians fixed Jesus birthday on December 26 by reinterpreting pagan customs. It argues Christmas embodies light over darkness, hope over despair, and unity across nations, ages, and faiths, celebrating the birth of Christ as the Sun of Righteousness.
