Question:
Do most Catholics know that Christmas was invented by Constantine from a Roman holiday, the Saturnalia?
Answer:
Actually, your premise is mistaken. As to the origins of Christmas, please see this video by Fr. Mitch Pacwa, SJ, and Scott Hahn discussing the issue, and this article and this one from our magazine. You’ll learn that the Church’s celebration of Christmas long predated Constantine’s reign in the fourth century.
