Today, Catholics celebrate the Holy Name of Jesus. The celebration took place on different dates, usually in January, because January 1, eight days after Christmas, commemorates the naming of the baby Jesus; as the Gospel read that day recounts, "after eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before being conceived in the womb." #calendar #January 1 #mythology #myth #legend #Christianity #Catholicism #jesus
