An important festival in Christianity to commemorate the birth of Jesus. It is also called Christmas of Jesus, the Nativity of the Lord, and the Feast of the Nativity of Jesus in the Catholic Church. The date of Jesus' birth is not recorded in the Bible. In 336 AD, the Roman Church began to celebrate this festival on December 25. December 25 was originally the birthday of the sun god stipulated by the Roman Empire. Some people believe that this day was chosen to celebrate Christmas because Christians believed that Jesus was the righteous and eternal sun. After the middle of the 5th century, Christmas became a tradition of the church as an important festival and gradually spread among the Eastern and Western churches. Due to different calendars used, the specific dates and forms of activities held by various denominations are also different. The spread of Christmas customs to Asia was mainly in the middle of the 19th century, and Japan, South Korea and other countries were influenced by Christmas culture. Now it has become a common custom in the West to give each other gifts, hold banquets, and add festive atmosphere with Santa Claus and Christmas trees. Christmas has also become a public holiday in the Western world and many other regions.
Wishing you peace, joy and happiness through Christmas and the coming year!
