Original Note:
The date of Christmas was calculated by early Christians by adding nine months to the supposed date of Jesus’ death - March 25th. It does not have anything to do with Saturnalia, which falls on a different date entirely. http://kiwihellenist.blogspot.com/2015/12/christmas-and-its-supposed-pagan-links.html?m=1 Mithras is also unrelated to Saturnalia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithraism
