A beautiful golden cross trimmed in red with a red cloth draped over it with beautiful white doves on an elegant background with snowflakes and stars makes for a lovely, religious card for your wonderful son. The inside message; May the true meaning of Christmas fill your heart with love during this joyous season and bring you peace throughout the New Year! Design by Laurie Schneider, elements by Digital Designs by Elena, Diana'z Designz. Although it is not known why December 25 became a date of celebration, there are several factors that may have influenced the choice. December 25 was the date the Romans marked as the winter solstice, the shortest and darkest day of the year, and the first day in which the days would begin to elongate and the Sun would have a longer presence in the sky. Jesus was identified with the Sun based on an Old Testament verse, and the date is exactly nine months following Annunciation, when the conception of Jesus is celebrated.
