Date of Christ Nativity Fixed by Roman Emperor Julian
Julian began his reign as a Christian but returned to paganism and in 363 A D decreed December 25 as Christ's Nativity. The date aligned with Western church opinions and winter festival traditions. Some Eastern churches preferred January 6, continuing to celebrate Christmas on that date.
