Although the exact date of his birth is now known to anyone, the church authorities decided to mark this day as his birthday. Eucharist or Communion is a Mass service. Disciples say that Jesus Christ died for his people and then came to life again in the village of Nazareth. So,’ Christ-Mass’ was the only one that was allowed to take place after dusk and before the sunrise. It was midnight time that the celebration started. Henceforth, people know the day as as ‘Christmas’.
