And that&#039;s logical, because the markets are closed when virtually everyone celebrates Christmas, theoretically commemorating the birth of Jesus. But was Jesus born on December 25th? That question I left hanging in my third book, *The Pocket Investor*: Investing for Life, is yet to be answered.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">To find the answer to this question and understand why the markets and virtually all trading activity are closed on December 25th, there are many reliable sources to consult. But this time, I&#039;m going to turn to something completely different. I&#039;m going to &quot;interview&quot; Artificial Intelligence by asking it two questions, and I&#039;m going to simply transcribe the answers. Just copy and paste, for transparency and to avoid any possible bias. And then we&#039;ll see what lessons it teaches investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">First question: Was Jesus born on December 25th?<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Google Gemini:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>The question of whether Jesus was born on December 25 is one that has intrigued theologians and historians for centuries.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do we celebrate Christmas on December 25th?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Winter Solstice:<\/strong> The date of December 25th roughly coincides with the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.

The Bible does not provide an exact date, and many scholars believe he was conceived in the spring, based on information such as mentions of shepherds tending their sheep at night. However, December 25th was chosen by the Church in the 4th century to coincide with pagan festivals such as the winter solstice, which facilitated conversion to Christianity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/elinversordebolsillo.com.ar\/en\/libros-de-finanzas\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elinversordebolsillo.com.ar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3996\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Second question: What is the origin of Christmas then?<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gemini:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Excellent question!

The date of December 25th was chosen by the Catholic Church in the 4th century, probably to coincide with existing pagan festivals, such as the Roman Saturnalia and the cult of the Sun God Invictus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturnalia was a Roman festival in honor of Saturn, the god of agriculture, held in December. The cult of Sol Invictus, on the other hand, was a festival in honor of the winter solstice, which also fell in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pope Julius I officially set December 25 as the date of Christmas in 350 AD. Since then, Christmas has evolved into a Christian holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, although it has also incorporated elements of these ancient pagan traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/elinversordebolsillo.com.ar\/en\/preg-mentorias-financieras\/\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"851\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/elinversordebolsillo.com.ar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3997\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elinversordebolsillo.com.ar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-1.jpeg 851w, https:\/\/elinversordebolsillo.com.ar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-1-300x111.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/elinversordebolsillo.com.ar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-1-768x284.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 851px) 100vw, 851px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GPT Chat:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The origin of Christmas can be traced back to various traditions and celebrations.
