The main Christian celebration of the year in the Catholic and Protestant traditions is approaching (most Orthodox Christians will celebrate it in 14 days, according to the Julian calendar).

This holiday marks the theoretical beginning of the Christian era and calendar. Therefore, in many languages, there is a common mistake (in 7 days) when using Chrtistian dates with the words ‘From the Birth of Christ,’ since the Julian and Gregorian calendars begin on the day of the Circumcision (1 January, the first day of the year), and not on the day of the Birth of Christ (25 December).

by zlaxyi on YouTubeThe circumcision of Jesus was traditionally regarded, as explained in the once popular writing ‘Golden Legend’, as the first shedding of Christ's blood, and therefore the beginning of the process of human redemption, and as a demonstration that Christ is fully human and that he obeys biblical law.
The circumcision ceremony in the Jewish tradition is also a naming ceremony, which is why this holiday is so significant in both Christian calendars that the circumcision and appellation were chosen as the starting point of the Christian era, rather than the birth of the originally nameless child.
Also, in connection with this festive event, it is worth mentioning the Christian relic of the Holy Prepuce, the foreskin (part of the skin of the penis) of Jesus Christ, which appeared as a result of his circumcision. It is claimed that the foreskin was stolen from Rome during the looting, after which it was allegedly found again in the prison cell of one of the German soldiers who participated in the looting. The foreskin was then kept for many centuries in the commune of Calcata, until it was stolen again by a local priest about 40 years ago.
In Jewish tradition, the circumcision ceremony is called the brit milah, and according to the scriptures, a specially trained person called a mohel sucks blood from a wound on the baby's penis with his mouth. Until now, many Jewish communities follow this ancient tradition.
Therefore, the beginning of the Christian era and Christian calendar, the starting point of the Gregorian calendar, is the brit milah of Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews (INRI), the moment when the mohel sucked blood from the newly circumcised penis of the infant, who was named Jesus Christ at that very hour. Supposedly, this happened exactly 2025 years ago.
