  • The earliest celebrations of Christ's birth, that are known, were mentioned around 200AD. So celebrations are likely to have occurred in the second century. However, celebrating Christ's birth was not seen as highly important in those days. Many rejected the idea of a birthday celebration altogether. The prime focus was on Christ's life, crucifixion and resurrection. The December 25th date was observed as early as the third century and became more accepted throughout the fourth century as the Roman Empire converted to Christianity.

  • After the murder of civil rights worker Viola Liuzzo, Johnson went on television to announce the arrest of four Ku Klux Klansmen implicated in her death. He angrily denounced the Klan as a "hooded society of bigots," and warned them to "return to a decent society before it's too late." Johnson was the first President to arrest and prosecute[citation needed] members of the Klan since Ulysses S. Grant about 93 years earlier. He turned the themes of Christian redemption to push for civil rights, thereby mobilizing support from churches North and South.
