The date of christmas was chosen by early christians because it what

D. coincided with the winter solstice celebration

Explanation:

It’s the day Jesus was born, but also was the day “ coincided with the winter solstice celebration”. December 25th is Jesus birthday. Important to the Christians.

It wouldn’t be “B” because Mosses didn’t die the 25th of December even though his death date is unknown he didn’t die on the 25th of December. Now C wouldn’t be one of you answer choices because the “ coincided with the Jewish Passover” is on Easter Day not the 25th. So, now we’re left with A and D. A could be a answer choice but what was more important to the Christians? The day Jesus was born or the “ winter solstice celebration”. Well the answer is (D) because no one actually has proof that Jesus was born on the 25th of December it’s a saying no one is positive so your answer is (D).
