Why do Christians around the world celeberate Christmas on two different dates?
Correct answer: Different calendars

AndyV5615, no Easter comes from the Jewish feast of Passover which is not pagan

The Christians stole most of the pagan festivals. If Easter was the anniversary of the crucifixion it would be on the same day every year, like Christmas. Easter comes from the pagan feast of Ostara.

Jesus was most probably born in the spring, not winter. Lambs and going to pay rent(as Mary and Joseph were doing) happens in spring.

Travel Lady & AndyV5615, It is a bit of both.

So since it’s been over 400 years the Julian calendar should have changed by adding 3 days and that would currently make it January 10th.
