2. Trunk cake

Buchedenoel is a famous French Christmas food.

Before the invention of electricity, the French used a good kind of wood as a Christmas present.

The French are naturally romantic, even the origin of food is romantic: once upon a time, a young man who couldn't afford a Christmas present found a piece of wood in the forest and gave it to his lover, which not only won his heart, but also soared.

Therefore, the trunk cake has also become a symbol of wishing good luck in the coming year.

3.almond pudding

In the west, when Christmas dinner begins, you must eat an almond pudding first, and then you can start eating something else. If anyone can eat the only intact almond, he will be the luckiest person in the coming year. Usually, adults will put this almond in the youngest child's bowl to make them happy.

4.gingerbread

The most famous Christmas food in Germany is gingerbread, which is a small spot between cakes and biscuits.

Traditional gingerbread is made of honey and pepper, which is sweet, spicy and pungent. The improved gingerbread sprinkled with icing is not only rich in taste, but also quite pleasing in appearance.

Christmas, also known as Christmas, is translated as "Christian Mass", which originated from Saturnalia in ancient Rome to welcome the New Year and has nothing to do with Christianity. After Christianity prevailed in the Roman Empire, the Vatican drifted into the Christian system to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

But Christmas is not Jesus' birthday, because the Bible does not record the specific date of Jesus' birth, nor does it mention the existence of such a festival, which is the result of Christianity absorbing ancient Roman mythology.

According to the Bible, when Jesus was born, three doctors from the East presented gifts-gold, frankincense and myrrh-to worship Jesus to show their respect for the savior of mankind.

This is the origin of the custom of Santa Claus giving gifts to children. British children put their stockings by the fireplace on Christmas Eve, believing that Santa Claus will ride an elk down the chimney at night and bring them presents full of socks. French children put their shoes at the door, so that when the baby comes, they can put presents in the shoes.

Every year on February 25th, 65438, Christians commemorate the birth of Jesus, which is called Christmas. From 65438+February 24th to the following year, 65438+1October 6th is Christmas.

During Christmas, Christians all over the world will hold grand commemorative ceremonies. Christmas was originally a Christian holiday. Because people attach great importance to it, it has become a national festival. It is the biggest festival in a year in China, which can be compared with the New Year, similar to the Spring Festival in China.
