bible vich na taa yisu de janam di koi tareekh dassi gayi hai te na hi eh kehndi hai ki sanu os da janam-din manauna chaheeda hai. mcclintock atey strong dassde han: “christmas da tiohar na taa rab ne manaun nu keha hai atey na hi is bare nave nem vich kujh dassya gaya hai.”

 is di bajaye, jado asi christmas de itehas ’te nazar maarde ha, taa sanu pata laggda hai ki is di shuruaat jhoothe reeti-rivaja to hoi si. bible to pata laggda hai ki je asi os tareeke naal parmeshwar di bhagti karan di koshish karde ha jis to oh nakhush hai, taa asi os nu naraaz karde ha.—kooch 32:5-7.
