His nativity is observed on December 25th because that was when the Mithraic religion celebrated the Day of the Birth of the Unconquered Sun. Mithraism was the great rival of Christianity in the late Roman Empire and it was easier for Christianity to replace rather than abolish well-established pagan feasts. That is how the first Christmas came about – as the substitute for the Mithraic Feast of the Birth of the Unconquered Sun.
