Found a site about Christmas in Egypt.
The following is a quote:




Quote:
The origin of the word Christmas:
And the angel said unto them, fear not: for, behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a saviour, Which is Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:11-12)
According to the recent researches, it is proved that the word "Christmas" is of an ancient Egyptian origin. (emphasis mine) Where this word is consisting of two parts: Christ & mas; Christ is the Lord, but what is mas?
Mas is an ancient Egyptian word means: to be born or Birth. The word is drawn in the Hieroglyphic language -the ancient Egyptian language-as follows:
(((I did not attach the hieroglyphic symbol, but it can be seen at this site:

Quote:
The name of the ancient Egyptian king "Thothmas" means: the Birth of Thoth -god of wisdom. Therefore, mas means Birth. Hence, "Christmas" means the Birth of -Our Lord Jesus-Christ.
Guess everybody wants to claim they have the true origin of "CHRISTMAS".
