Wot it is even christmas? In a literal word, christmas is a day set aside by christains to celebrate d birth of Jesus. Nw christ a title jst lyk oba, obi, nd d lyks meanin the saviour. Nw x d 24th letter in d alphabets jst a letter, in oda words christ nd x nt d same, lykwise christmas nd xmas nt also d same.

The "X" in Xmas.

Xmas! It may appear that Christ is being taken out of Christmas, but is this what is really going on?



First of all, you have to understand that it is not the letter X that is put into Christmas.

We see the English letter X there, but actually what it involves is the first letter of the Greek name for Christ.

Christos is the New Testament Greek for Christ.

The first letter of the Greek word Christos is transliterated into our alphabet as an X.

That X has come through church history to be a shorthand symbol for the name of Christ dated back in the 1500s.

Next time you hear someone talking about how wrong "xmas" is, please teach him or her the history behind it.





Happy Xmas
