Birth Day (Easton)

DIC dictionary-entry · status:draft · license:PD

The observance of birth-days was common in early times ( Job 1:4,13,18 ). They were specially celebrated in the land of Egypt ( Genesis 40:20 ). There is no recorded instance in Scripture of the celebration of birth-days among the Jews. On the occasion of Herod's birth-day John the Baptist was beheaded ( Matthew 14:6 ).
