The Why Of

Of Christmas

Just over 2,000 years ago Christ was born, and so significant was his entry upon the earth that the entire world measures TIME as the number of years Before his birth (BC “Before Christ”) and After his birth (AD 'Anno Domini' “In the year of our LORD”).

God Bless Your Day
Jesus Loves You
