1. Siibawi & World-class Historian Dr Luke Nih A Khawmhsuatmi Document A Si

Khrih Jesuh hrinnak thianghlim (virgin birth) tuanbia hi Dr Luke nih kha chan lio i mithmutu pawl chimmi kha a hlathlai dih cikceh hnu ah a tialmi a si. Khrih hringtu nu Mary hmanh kha bia a rak hal men lai tiah an zumh.

Dr Luke nih Thawngtha cauk a tialmi hramthok ah mithmutu chimmi le felte in a dothlat cikcekmi a sinak kong a langhter. Khrih hrinnak kong hi Dr Luke nih Baibal tialtu a dang pawl nakin tling deuh in a tial.

Dr Luke hi Khrih lamkaltu mithiang Paul he Jerusalem le Judea peng ah caantam a rak hmangmi a si i, Khrih hrinnak kong a rak hngal biktu pawl Mary tbk. sinah biaruahnak caantha a rak hmu ttheu lai.

Thihnak in Khrih a thawh hnu ah a hringtu Mary hi kum zeizat chung dah a nun ti hngalhfian taktak a si lo nain, kum 24 tiang a nung tiah chimchintu thenkhat nih an ti. Dr Luke nih Mary a ton lo hmanh ah, Mary he ai niamhniammi pa khatkhat tal a ton hna i, thawngtha a tialmi hi 'primary source' a si.

Greek scholar minthang Kenneth S. Wuest nih Greek New Testament Word Studies ah Dr Luke kong a tial. Kha lio ah, "Mary hi a rak nun ko rih ahcun, Dr Luke nih hin Mary chimmi hrimhrim a theih i, hrinnak thianghlim tuanbia hi a dothlatmi le a tialmi a si," a ti.

Dr Luke i a tial telhmi ram 23, khuapi 54 le tikulh 9 ah White nih a va chekhlai i, palhnak pakhatte hmanh a hmu hin lo. (Lamkaltu (Acts) cauk khi Dr Luke tialmi a si)

2. Chanthar Mithiam Pawl Nih An Fehter

Baibal soiseltu vawlei mithiam pawl Sir William Ramsay, William F. Albright tbk. nih Dr Luke tialmi cauk a palhnak langhter duh ah dothlatnak an tuah tikah, a hmaannak tu an hmuhchuah i, an lung ai thleng phah.

Ramsay hi kum 1800 donghlei i Baibal soiseltu hlipi a rak si, a hngakchiat lio in Baibal soiselnak kong cawnpiakmi a si, Biakam Thar cauk khi A.D. 2 canceo lio hrawng ah rak ttawncop luklak in an tialmi a si, zumhtlak a si lo tiah rak cawnpiakmi pa a si.

A khualtawnnak lampi ah vawlei a cawh hna i, tehte a kawl hna. Ramsay nih Baibal a hmuhning a thlen dih cikcek i, Dr Luke a hun dirpi lehlam. "Luke hi first-rank historian a si, a tialmi hi zumhtlak taktak facts a si hlei ah, (Dr Luke hi) historian thiamnak taktak a ngeimi a si fawn. A tawinak in cun, Luke hi vawleicung historian lianngan bikbik hna lak ah telh awk a si," a ti.

Kum 1896 in Ramsay nih 'St. Paul the Traveler and the Roman Citizen,' timi cauk chuah hram a thok. Vawleicung ah Baibal soiseltu anih anih timi pawl lakah lungtuainak a chuak, Baibal palhnak kawl ah ai thawhmi pa nih, Baibal hmaannak tu a tial caah a si. Thil ai bingtalet.

Sihmanhsehlaw, Ramsay bantuk in Baibal a hmuhning a thlen dih cikcek ve. Vawlei cawh in Baibal palhnak tete heh tiah a kawl ttualmal i, Dr Luke tialmi Thawngtha cauk le Lamkaltu cauk hi zumhtlak taktak an si, Baibal ningpi hin, history source zumhtlak a si tiah a hun hmuhchuah hnu ah, a ti.

Cauk 'The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict' a chuah i, Albright nih hitihin a tial, "Pakhat hnu pakhat (ka) hmuhchuah deuhdeuh i rel cawk lo tiang in a hmaan taktakmi a si i, Baibal hi history source a si tiah (ka) pom deuhdeuh," a ti.
Mithiam ah ai ruatmi pawl nih Khrih hrinnak kong Luke 2:1-5 khi hitihin an rak soisel, milurelnak a rak um hrimhrim lo i, ahohmanh an chuahkehnak khua ah an kir lo, an rak ti.

Tuanphung (mythological) caholh kongah kherhlaitu/ soiseltu professor kum tampi ka tuan cang i, tuanphung tham cu ka hngalh ko hen cu, a ti. "Biakam Thar Thawngtha cauk hi tuanphung an si lo," a ti.

4. Profet Nih Kum Zabu Tampi Lio Ah Ahlankan In An Phuan

Genesis 3:15 ah, Pathian nih rulhreu le minu Eve karlak ah i ral nakding kong bia a chim, "Nang le hi minu karlak le na tefa le (minu) tefa karlak ah i ralnak ka chiah lai; (minu fapa nih) na lu ah an rial lai i, nang nih a kemit ah na cuh lai," tiah rulhreu sinah a ti.

Hihi Pathian nih hmailei i a cang dingmi bia a phuanmi a si. Hi zawn ah 'pa ci' a ti lo, 'nu ci' a ti i, fiang tak in a langmi cu, ngaknu thianghlim Mary nih 'pa ci' tel lo in, Thiang Thlarau in pawimi Fapa Khrih a hrinnak thianghlim kong a chimmi a si.

Christmas or Christmas Day (Old English: Crīstesmæsse, meaning "Christ's Mass") is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ,^[7][8] observed most commonly on December 25^[4][9][10] as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world.^[2][11][12] A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it is prepared for by the season of Advent or the Nativity Fast and initiates the season of Christmastide, which historically in the West lasts twelve days and culminates on Twelfth Night;^[13] in some traditions, Christmastide includes an Octave.^[14] Christmas Day is a public holiday in many of the world's nations,^[15][16][17] is celebrated culturally by a large number of non-Christian people,^[1][18][19] and is an integral part of the holiday season, while some Christian groups reject the celebration. In several countries, celebrating Christmas Eve on December 24 has the main focus rather than December 25, with gift-giving and sharing a traditional meal with the family.

While the month and date of Jesus' birth are unknown, by the early-to-mid 4th century, the Western Christian Church had placed Christmas on December 25,^[20] a date later adopted in the East.^[21][22] Today, most Christians celebrate Christmas on the date of December 25 in the Gregorian calendar, which has been adopted almost universally in the civil calendars used in countries throughout the world. However, some Eastern churches celebrate Christmas on the December 25 of the older Julian calendar, which currently corresponds to January 7 in the Gregorian calendar, the day after the Western Christian Church celebrates the Epiphany. This is not a disagreement over the date of Christmas as such, but rather a preference of which calendar should be used to determine the day that is December 25. In the Council of Tours of 567, the Church "declared the twelve days between Christmas and Epiphany to be one unified festal cycle", thus giving significance to both December 25 and January 6.^{[23][24][25][26][27]}

The date of Christmas may have initially been chosen to correspond with the day exactly nine months after the day on which early Christians believed that Jesus was conceived,^[28][29] or with one or more ancient polytheistic festivals that occurred near the Roman winter solstice;^[30][31] a further solar connection has been suggested because of a biblical verse^[a] identifying Jesus as the "Sun of righteousness".^{[28][32][33][29]}
The celebratory customs associated in various countries with Christmas have a mix of pre-Christian, Christian, and secular themes and origins.^[34] Popular modern customs of the holiday include gift giving, completing an Advent calendar or Advent wreath, Christmas music and caroling, lighting a Christingle, an exchange of Christmas cards, church services, a special meal, and the display of various Christmas

 decorations, including Christmas trees, Christmas lights, nativity scenes, garlands, wreaths, mistletoe, and holly. In addition, several closely related and often interchangeable figures, known as Santa Claus, Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, and Christkind, are associated with bringing gifts to children during the Christmas season and have their own body of traditions and lore.^[35] Because gift-giving and many other aspects of the Christmas festival involve heightened economic activity, the holiday has become a significant event and a key sales period for retailers and businesses. The economic impact of Christmas is a factor that has grown steadily over the past few centuries in many regions of the world.


"Christmas" is a shortened form of "Christ's mass". It is derived from the Middle English Cristemasse, which is from Old English Crīstesmæsse, a phrase first recorded in 1038^[8] followed by the word Cristes-messe in 1131.^[36] Crīst (genitive Crīstes) is from Greek Khrīstos (Χριστός), a translation of Hebrew Māšîaḥ (מָשִׁיחַ), "Messiah", meaning "anointed";^[37][38] and mæsse is from Latin missa, the celebration of the Eucharist. The form Christenmas was also historically used, but is now considered archaic and dialectal;^[39] it derives from Middle English Cristenmasse, literally "Christian mass".^[40] Xmas is an abbreviation of Christmas found particularly in print, based on the initial letter chi (Χ) in Greek Khrīstos (Χριστός), "Christ", though numerous style guides discourage its use;^[41] it has precedent in Middle English Χρ̄es masse (where "Χρ̄" is an abbreviation for Χριστός).^[40]

Other names

In addition to "Christmas", the holiday has been known by various other names throughout its history. The Anglo-Saxons referred to the feast as "midwinter",^[42][43] or, more rarely, as Nātiuiteð (from Latin nātīvitās below).^[42][44] "Nativity", meaning "birth", is from Latin nātīvitās.^[45] In Old English, Gēola (Yule) referred to the period corresponding to December and January, which was eventually equated with Christian Christmas.^[46] "Noel" (or "Nowel") entered English in the late 14th century and is from the Old French noël or naël, itself ultimately from the Latin nātālis (diēs), "birth (day)".^[47]

 Adoration of the Shepherds by Gerard van Honthorst depicts the nativity of Jesus
The canonical gospels of Luke and Matthew both describe Jesus as being born in Bethlehem in Judea, to a virgin mother. In the Gospel of Luke account, Joseph and Mary travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem for the census, and Jesus is born there and laid in a manger.^[48] Angels proclaim him a savior for all people, and shepherds come to adore him. In the Matthew account, astronomers follow a star to Bethlehem to bring gifts to Jesus, born the king of the Jews. King Herod orders the massacre of all the boys less than two years old in Bethlehem, but the family flees to Egypt and later settles in Nazareth.
