Our Saviour was born on Christmas Day.
Christmas Day is the feast on which Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. The Church celebrates Christmas on 25 December, commemorating the Incarnation and birth of the Son of God. While Scripture does not reveal the exact calendar date of Christs birth, the Church established this feast to honour the moment when God entered human history as a man. Christmas is therefore much more than a celebration of a babys birth. It is the celebration of the Incarnation, the beginning of Gods work of redemption through Jesus Christ. The feast reminds believers that God loved the world so greatly that He sent His only Son for its salvation. Through prayer, worship, charity, and joy, Christians celebrate the coming of Emmanuel, which means "God with us".
To become a child in relation to God is the condition for entering the kingdom. Jesus birth manifests Gods goodness and loving kindness. The faithful celebrate the mysteries of Christs life throughout the liturgical year, beginning with his Nativity.
Luke 2:10-11
And the angel said to them, "Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; for to you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord."
