“December 25 is not the birthday of Jesus Christ,” Pastor Abel Damina asserts in new interview (VIDEO)

• The festive season, traditionally observed toward the end of the year, holds a profound significance for Christians around the world, as they gather to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ on December 25.
• But, Pastor Abel Damina, in recent interview, offers a provocative perspective that challenges this widespread tradition.
• Damina boldly asserts that the widely accepted belief of December 25th being the birthdate of Jesus is nothing more than a religious misconception.

Dr. Abel Damina, renowned founder of Abel Damina Ministries and Power City International, has once again stirred thought-provoking discussions with his bold stance on the origins of Christmas and its connection to the birth of Jesus Christ.

As the year 2024 draws to a close, the festive buzz surrounding Christmas has echoed across the globe. Millions of Christians celebrated December 25 as the birthdate of Jesus, gathering in churches, homes, and public spaces to honor this cherished tradition.

But amid the joy and revelry, Dr. Damina has offered a strikingly different perspective that challenges the core of this long-standing belief.

In a recent in-depth conversation with Nigerian journalist Seun Okinbaloye on the Mic On podcast, Damina was asked to share his views on the Christmas celebration.

His response was candid, unconventional, and unapologetic. “I don’t believe in Christmas,” he stated firmly.

However, he quickly added that he holds no objection to Christians celebrating the holiday, as it fosters goodwill and unity. Still, he insisted, “Jesus was not born on Christmas Day, December 25.”

Damina elaborated on his position, emphasizing that the widely celebrated date has no biblical or historical grounding as the actual birthdate of Christ. He explained that the calendar used today has been distorted over time, leaving the true date of Jesus’ birth shrouded in mystery.
