The origin of Christmas can be traced back to the birth of Jesus 200 1 years ago.

When was Jesus born?

Although it is impossible to verify the exact year, most archaeologists believe that it should be the year of century division (that is, one year BC), but it is impossible to determine the correct date of birth. Therefore, early Christians took Mishraism of the Roman Empire as the first day to commemorate the birth of the sun god on February 25th of every year/kloc-0.

So Christmas is an important festival for Christians to commemorate the birth of Yahya in religion.

According to the Bible, Jesus was born in the Jewish town of Bethlehem. Mary, the mother of Jesus, was pregnant by the Holy Spirit. In her dream, the angel Gabriel appeared in front of her and told her that she would give birth to the son of God, who would be called Jesus. When she and her husband Yue Se returned to their hometown, all the hotels were full, so Mary was forced to give birth to Jesus in the manger. Inspired by God, three doctors in the Far East followed a bright star in the sky to find Jesus, bowed down to him, opened the treasure box and presented him with gold, frankincense and myrrh as gifts. The pastor in Bethel also heard the voice of an angel from heaven and told them the good news of the birth of Jesus.

(B) in terms of folk customs

This goes back to Germany. In Germany, the four Sundays before Christmas ranked first, second, third and fourth respectively. The Christmas market started around the first festival. On the first festival, every household will light the first candle in adventskranz, then smoke separately in each festival, and then light other candles in the wreath. When the fourth candle is lit, it means Christmas is coming!

During this period, German families began to prepare all kinds of shopping, decoration and cleaning at the same time. Does this look like our twelfth lunar month? Children will also get an "ADVENTSKALENDER", which is a paper box with 1 to 24 small "doors", and there is a small toy or candy behind each door. Just like when we were children, we smoked in the grocery store attached to our family. Children can open a door every day from 1 February1Sunday, just before1February 24th. But naughty children usually want to open them all on the first day!
