One encyclopedia says about this: “The celebration was not observed in the first centuries of the Christian church, since the Christian usage in general was to celebrate the death of remarkable persons rather than their birth. ”
Üks entsüklopeedia märgib: „Seda püha ei peetud kristliku kiriku algussajanditel, sest kristliku tava kohaselt pühitseti silmapaistvate isikute surma, mitte sündi. ”
