It is believed that Joseph and Mary gave birth to the second holy trinity of Christianity, Jesus Christ, on December 25 in Bethlehem. Jesus of Nazareth was a spiritual leader, whose teachings formed the foundation of Christianity. Although the Bible does not mention a specific date for his birth, Emperor Constantine, the first Christian Roman emperor, designated December 25 as 'Christmas' a day to commemorate Christ's birth. The United States declared December 25 as a federal holiday in 1870 and it has been a widely-recognised holiday ever since.
