Re: Christmas anyone?
Jesus never celebrated His birthday. It was more customary to celebrate a persons death in Judaism.
The reason is that no one knows what a person will be like in future good or bad. Even Hitlers parents celebrated his first birthday im guessing but I think they wouldnt have if they knew who he would become.
This view is reflected in the bible..
Ecc 7.1 the day of one's death is better than the day of one's birth.
To celebrate the good things a person has done over their lifetime is better than celebrating an unknown future.
