Well 2 points Jack..
December the 25th was chosen because this day was already almost a universal
holiday in the Roman world. Christians thereby were not forced into evading
work in their celebrations. Naturally the Pagan religions died and the day
became ours. (reversed today )
Directing pagan practises such as gift giving to the cause of Christs teachings
is a clever teaching aid. The SUN becomes Christ..representing the brightness
of God. Who can gaze upon God? I do not like Peters picture of the madonna
though. Quite ugly. Back then , who knows how well it was received.. What is
its Catholic name Peter.
As the people converted they gave their temples to be consecrated for Christ,
blesed, and used as churches.. Probably exorcised as well to oust the Devil.
As regards Halos, your "identification" reason is sound enough but doesn't the
Bible refer to visions of the saints or Angels as being surrounded by light?
This opposes the prince of darkness.

I believe most Christians realise that Jesus' birthday is unknown. Like I
said earlier, whatever date is chosen to celebrate His birth will have probably
been used for some other celebration. Surely you can see that. Dec 25 is not a
mystical date.
Regarding the Maddona and Child, I do not subscribe to the R.C. paintings
which show people with haloes. The closest I would come to defend is simply to
say it was their method of defining the Biblical personalities. They could have
used a pointing arrow just as effectively.

Though we are not given the date of Jesus birthday, we are given the day of
his death and the age at death, working back takes you to Jesus birth being
late September or October.
What did you think of my little picture of the Catholic Maddona with child,
and how the child looks like the Sun?
