But y'all fight is necessary too. So continue undecided

It's not known precisely!
so, if your father was dead, and u forgot the day he died, when ur own children grow, because that ur father was popular,and ur children want to celebrate him, they won't do so because his date is unknown? Why don't nowadays humans think normally.

Muhammed ran to medina not ethiopia. It was some muslims that ran to ethiopia that were mostly christians.

See eh. It wasn't written down anywhere that he was born on that day. He never said his birthday was on dec 25. Christians just decided to infuse that aspect into their doctrine which to me is not proper.

Read this short note you'll understand better

RightChannel:


The Bible offers few clues on the birth of Jesus Christ. Celebrations of Jesus’ Nativity are not mentioned in the Gospels or Acts; the date is not given, not even the time of year. The Biblical reference to shepherds tending their flocks at night when they hear the news of Jesus’ birth ( Luke 2 : 8 ) might suggest the spring lambing season; in the cold month of December, on the other hand, sheep might well have been pen.


This stands in sharp contrast to the very early traditions surrounding Jesus’ last days. Each of the Four Gospels provides detailed information about the time of Jesus’ death. According to John, Jesus is crucified just as the Passover lambs are being sacrificed. This would have occurred on the 14th of the Hebrew month of Nisan, just before the Jewish holiday began at sundown (considered the beginning of the 15th day because in the Hebrew calendar, days begin at sundown). In Matthew, Mark and Luke, however, the Last Supper is held after sundown, on the beginning of the 15th. Jesus is crucified the next morning—still, the 15th.

There is another way to account for the origins of Christmas on December 25: Strange as it may seem, the key to dating Jesus’ birth may lie in the dating of Jesus’ death at Passover.

Around 200 C.E. Tertullian of Carthage reported the calculation that the 14th of Nisan (the day of the crucifixion according to the Gospel of John) in the year Jesus died was equivalent to March 25 in the Roman (solar) calendar.9 March 25 is, of course, nine months before December 25; it was later recognized as the Feast of the Annunciation—the commemoration of Jesus’ conception. Thus, Jesus was believed to have been conceived and crucified on the same day of the year. Exactly nine months later, Jesus was born, on December 25.


This is how New year arose;

Luke 2:21

And when eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.

The day, period and time is the same only the calendars differ, Gregorian and Julian. Should I enlighten you more?



How? The only thing that separate people in different places is their time zones. Across the world, there is no more than 24 hours time zone. It's not as if Nigeria did Xmas today and Ethiopia is doing theirs few hours later. There is nothing you can explain here. It's just that different christians denominations have different dates entirely from others over the actual birthday of Jesus making us wonder if they serve the same God.

nope , these are the real worshippers of the religion, it originated from ancient Ethiopia before the white men adopted it and perverted the faith , many artifacts are still in hiding depicting these facts , one is the remains of the convenant ark,
The Europeans are still trying to wipe out the remains of the Ethiopian christianity as Italy and England did in the 1800 , The number of people killed recently when eritrian militia stormed a church site, concealing the ark is reported as 750 and The church, the most ancient and sacred of Ethiopian Christianity, known as the Church of St. Mary of Zion, belongs to the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.

There are rumours about the looting of the Arc from Maryam Tsion, up to 750 died defending it,

I thought the wearing of the hijab is bad, uncivilized and unchristian.
Why are ethiopian Christian women putting on the hijab? Something is definitely wrong somewhere. Someone should come and tell us what is happening here

All those dressings are not Islamic's but cultural dressings for people from that region.

Something cannot be same day and different calender: It does not make sense.
If I was born during the spring, and a random calender somewhere push my date to August, how does that make sense?
No one really knows the exact day he was born. 25th for example was just accepted by some sect to commemorate the birth of Jesus.


Ethiopians as at today are still in 2015, some Arabic nations using Islamic calendar are in 1444, and many more like that. If you're born in August according to Gregorian calendar, other calendars will definitely have different date, time and month from Gregorian that's what I want you to understand

On the birth of Jesus and why it is celebrated 25 December, this is the simple calculation using events in the Bible

Orthodox Christians Celebrate Christmas on the 7th of January. And any other Christian that follows the Julian Calendar. While Christains that follow the Gregorian Calendar Celebrate it on 25th of December. https:///3jTnMQN
