Why is Christmas celebrated on December 25?

According to UCatholicone of the earliest references to December 25 as the date of Jesus’ birth comes from Saint Hippolytus of Rome in his Comment for Danielwritten around 205 AD – approximately two centuries after the birth of Christ.

While this early mention predates the formal adoption of December 25 by the Roman Church in the 4th century, it wasn’t until the religion became more integrated into the Roman Empire – especially after Emperor Constantine’s Edict of Milan in 313 AD. – that the date was widely observed.
