"During the later periods of Roman history, sun worship gained in importance and ultimately led to what has been called a 'solar monotheism.' Nearly all the gods of the period were possessed of Solar qualities. The feast of Sol and Victus (open unconquered Sun) on December 25th was celebrated with great joy, and eventually this date was taken over by the Christians as Christmas, the birthday of Christ."
@derekdb2 yeah.......so? No one knows for sure when Jesus was born. I'm glad to take over a Pagan custom to worship our Lord. The calendar is full of holidays that are not christian both from days of old and today. Should we not worship Him because we may have a conflict of interest? The point of choosing this date to celebrate His birth was to get people away from worshipping false gods and to worship the One True God.
Great song, but to be factual, the Bible never says there were only 3 wise men any more than it says Eve took a bite out of an apple! Cm'on writers - are you REALLY reading your Bible?
does anyone have the piano sheet for this song? I have the guitar chords but not the piano sheet and I'm planning to perform this song with my church in a few weeks. So if you do have the piano sheet, can you please reply back! thank you!
I know they are not officially "Christian" but Sawyer Brown has a really good Christmas album. It's called "Halleluia He is Born". I have only been able to find one of the songs from it on Youtube and it was not my favorites from the album. My personal favorite is "He Sent a Carpenter". I would love to see that on Youtube. I would post/upload it but I don't have the necessary know how or equipment.
You misunderstood me. I did not say that Casting Crowns was not officially Christian. I said Sawyer Brown was not officially Christian. Re-read my comment and you will see what I said.
beautiful song...thanks for the upload!
