script writer most famous for the
series, The Twilight Zone.

As for Christ, most scholars
concur that the seicction of De-
cember 25th as his birthday was
an arbitrary one,

‘Jt-was; in fact, not fixed until
the fourth century when Julius,
the Bishop of Rome, investigated
the matter and chose that date
from the many upon which vari-
ous peoples celebrated Christ’s
birth,

The timing may have had some-
thing to do with the winter sol-
stice, which was in -pagan times
an occasion for revelry,

In the same way, Christianity
adopted such pagan traditions as
mistictoe and holly. boughs, to al-
low pagans adopting the Christian
faith to make an easy — besides
comfortable — transition into it
