We are a non-profit Christian ministry committed to sharing the biblical perspective on Jehovah’s Witness beliefs and practices and most of our funding comes through individual people who believe in our mission, vision and values.

WHAT JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CHRISTMAS

There is a historical basis for the December 25th date of Christ’s birth. Justin Martyr (100-165 A.D.) wrote Marcus Aurelius that Jesus was born at Bethlehem "as you can ascertain also from the registers of the taxing” (First Apology on behalf of the Christians, 34). Tertullian (160-250) noted “the census of Augustus — that most faithful witness of the Lord’s nativity, kept in the archives of Rome” (Against Marcion, Book 4, 7).
