Why dec. 25th. ? it is symbolism. Because shortest daytime is in dec. 22th. and the sun stay at that position (Stop moving to south) for 3 days (Death of the sun (God)) than in dec. 25th sun start moving 1 degree to the north and day time start increasing.(Resurrection) . When Sun stop moving to south, only visible thing is southern Cross(Crux) in the south (Sun crucified) ... BTW The Easter = Spring equinox , light over come to darkness (day time getting longer than night time)
