La verdadera historia del origen de la Navidad

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:39:38 GMT

(CNN Español) — ¿Nació Jesús un 25 de diciembre? Millones de cristianos celebran este día la Navidad, pero lo cierto es que en la Biblia —y específicamente los Evangelios, que es donde se narran episodios de su vida— no hay mención a una fecha específica de su nacimiento.De hecho, las primeras comunidades cristianas ni siquiera celebraban el nacimiento de Jesús. Para rastrear las menciones a esta festividad hay que remontarse recién al siglo IV después de Cristo (del año 300 al 400).Los historiadores tienen información certera de que por entonces, la época en la que el Imperio romano se estaba convirtiendo a la religión cristiana oficialmente, tanto aquellos que creían en Jesús como los paganos —que creían en múltiples dioses— tenían celebraciones en un mismo día: el 25 de diciembre.Ni China ni Corea del Norte: la historia del país de América Latina que “eliminó” la Navidad del calendario oficial hace más de 100 añosPor qué se empieza a celebrar la NavidadEn esa ép...

4 takeaways from Chicago Bulls’ 109-95 loss, including losing the offensive boards and a high-scoring game from Max Strus

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:39:38 GMT

After weeks of an upward trajectory, the Chicago Bulls stumbled on a low-energy night as they dropped a 109-95 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday.The Cavaliers were missing the majority of their starters due to injury, but the size of their secondary rotation was enough to disrupt the Bulls and snap a three-game win streak. Despite the loss, the Bulls still sit 10th overall in the Eastern Conference — a small but important step up in the standings.Here are four takeaways from the game.1. Offense is out of sync as 3-point shooting dipsAfter weeks of playing a high-tempo, high-assist style, the Bulls got stuck in a stymied offense against the Cavaliers. The ball moved more slowly as players like Coby White struggled to find their shot from behind the arc.The Bulls went 8-for-35 (22.9%) from 3-point range. White went 0-for-8 in his first game without a 3-pointer since Nov. 17.“I hate to say it, but it’s just one of those games,” DeMar DeRozan said. R...

The unit you’re renting has been deemed ‘illegal.’ Now what?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:39:38 GMT

If a rental unit in Ontario is found to be “illegal” in some way, tenants could face eviction – but they still have rights and proper procedures must be followed.What makes a unit “illegal”?Kevin Laforest from Scarborough Community Legal Services says a unit can be deemed illegal if it fails to meet certain city or fire code standards.“The two common things that we’ll see is either the fire department has come in to do an inspection and found concerns with respect to the fire code – could be that there aren’t proper egresses in and out of a unit, especially for basement units. It could be that the fire systems are not up to code. Or the city has actually come in and said that part of the unit was built without proper permits and therefore it has to be reverted back to its original state,” he says.The city or fire department will then issue the landlord an order detailing the infractions and the work required to rectify the issues...

Second suspect arrested in theft of Banksy stop sign artwork featuring military drones

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:39:38 GMT

LONDON (AP) — A second suspect was arrested in the alleged theft of a work by the elusive street artist Banksy of a stop sign adorned with three military drones, London police said Sunday. A man in his 40s was in custody on suspicion of theft and criminal damage, the Metropolitan police said. A suspect in his 20s who was arrested Saturday was released on bail.Witnesses who arrived at a street corner Friday in the south London section of Peckham less than an hour after Banksy posted a photo of the work on Instagram said they were stunned to watch a man with bolt cutters remove the sign as another man steadied a bike he stood on.The incident was captured in photos and video. Much of Banksy’s political and satirical art is critical of war, and many of his followers interpreted the work as calling for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip. The Associated Press
