Christmas Day is NOT pagan, as many people claim.

But December 25 is also not Christ's real birthday โ€” so when is it?

A clue is in the 12 days of Christmas... (thread) ๐Ÿงต Image
The Gospels don't specify the date of Christ's birthday โ€” so where does December 25 come from?

Some claim that Christians took it from the pagans... Image
In the old Julian calendar, the winter solstice fell on Dec 25, so it's said that Christian traditions simply plagiarized older ones.

It's also said that Christmas trees came from Yuletide... Image

Who actually is Santa Claus?

A mythical figure of Pagan or Norse origin โ€” or a real person?

Well, we just discovered his ancient tombโ€ฆ (thread) ๐Ÿงต Image
"Santa Claus" was originally a Christian figure.

Saint Nicholas was a 4th-century Greek bishop from Myra (modern-day Turkey) credited with many miracles and acts of generosity... Image
In one tale, he threw gold down the chimney of a desperately poor man about to sell his daughters into slavery.

It landed in their stockings drying by the fire. Image

I asked X: "Which book changed your perspective on life more than any other?"

After THOUSANDS of replies, these were the top 50.

The ultimate 2025 reading listโ€ฆ (bookmark this) ๐Ÿงต Image
Note: Titles within each section are ordered roughly by how frequently they were suggested.

By FAR the most popular suggestion of all was the Holy Bible โ€” so here are the top theological works...
Theology:

1. Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis
2. Orthodoxy, G.K. Chesterton
3. The City of God, Augustine of Hippo
4. Summa Theologica, Thomas Aquinas
5. Confessions, Augustine of HippoImage

The fall of Rome is widely misunderstood.

It wasn't invasion, disease or famine that truly brought it to its knees.

Rome collapsed because the birth rate didโ€ฆ (thread) ๐Ÿงต Image
As with many nations today, Rome had a long period of prosperity followed by a decline in birth rates.

The same is true of urban populations throughout history... Image
Rome's fertility problem was identified as early as 49 BC by Caesar, and Augustus later tried to encourage childbearing.

Childlessness was especially common among the upper classes โ€” why? Image

This is "Christ the King" in Poland, Europe's tallest statue of Jesus (notice the people for scale).

It's 108 feet tall โ€” but that's not even close to the largest of the world's colossi.

9 more you may not have seen before... ๐Ÿงต Image
Poland's is not even the tallest statue of Christ. Indonesia unveiled one on Sibeabea Hill this year โ€” 200 feet tall.

It's made of reinforced concrete set around a giant steel frame. Image
And Europe's tallest statue is significantly taller still: The Motherland Calls in Volgograd, Russia.

It was erected to mark the victory at Stalingrad, a crucial turning point in WW2 โ€” 280 feet high. Image

Did you know the Mona Lisa has a twin?

You don't realize how bad a state it's in until you see the two side-by-side.

And it shows why restorations in art are a major problemโ€ฆ (thread) ๐Ÿงต Image
The Mona Lisa desperately needs to be restored. Its varnish has left it badly discolored and it continues to deteriorate.

But the varnish can't be replaced without risking taking Leonardo's incredibly fine layers away with it. Image
Luckily, we know how it would look when new โ€” there's another version in Madrid, painted by a student of Da Vinci.

And since Lisa has lost them in the original, we can see how her eyebrows would've looked... Image
