I was trying to decide whether noting part of the reason for setting December 25, 1BC as the traditional day of Jesus's birth is because that makes January 1, 1AD (i.e. the first day of the AD era) the day that Jesus would have been circumcised and thus, by Jewish tradition, the day he would be named and (at least unofficially) be considered to have become part of the Jewish community. Thoughts? Jtrevor99 (talk) 20:57, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
Was that the reason? I've never heard it before. You would need a reliable source that said the same thing. HiLo48 (talk) 22:50, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
Times of Israel was where I originally read about it, which, though I would have to do more digging to confirm, appeared to be a RS to me. It had links to several churches/denominations whose sites explicitly stated this as fact. So, assuming that there is an RS: does it belong and, if so, where?

The Christingle is associated with Advent, before Christmastide, and the practice of lighting Christingles in church services is discussed in the relevant Advent article. I have removed a mention of Christingles from the lead of this article, as the practice was not outlined anywhere else in the article and the WP:LEAD is supposed to summarise the main body. --Hazhk (talk) 13:06, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

A lot if the supposed Pagan Origins facts are not from credible sources. nor are they accurate,. I tried fixing it but apparently false claims are preferred. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SKWills (talk • contribs)

Consider changing Oxford University to University of Oxford when directly referring to the institution - as this is the correct name 195.213.86.231 (talk) 16:35, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
