How Christmas was spent by ancient Christians in ancient Christian lands
Still defiant and didn't allow fear to rule them..
Syria declares Christmas holidays amid protests over oppression of Christians
Authorities in Syria have declared December 25 and 26 official holidays for state employees to coincide with Catholic Christmas celebrations. But essential government services will continue.
The decision follows peaceful protests in Damascus and nearby Christian neighborhoods over the oppression of Christians in Syria. The protests were sparked by the burning of a Christmas tree in Suqaylabiyah, a Christian-majority town in Hama, by foreign mercenaries.
Local authorities have arrested the perpetrators and promised to punish them.

Romans 4:6-8
Even as David also describes the blessedness of the man, to whom God imputes righteousness without works, 7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

Certain important deviations, good to know
Monarchianism is an early Christian heresy that emerged in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD and sought to uphold the oneness of God (the “monarchy” of the Father) at the expense of the distinct persons of the Trinity.
Pelagianism. The essence of the Pelagian heresy lies in its denial of original sin and the belief that humans are born with a neutral nature, capable of achieving salvation through their own efforts without the need for divine grace. According to Pelagius, human beings have the ability to live morally and achieve righteousness on their own, without relying on God's grace for salvation.
