Extended information: 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 25th was originally the birthday of the sun god stipulated by the Roman Empire.

Some people think that this day is chosen to celebrate Christmas because Christians believe that Jesus is the righteous and eternal sun.

After the middle of the 5th century, Christmas, as an important holiday, became a church tradition and gradually spread among Eastern and Western churches.

Due to different calendars and other reasons, the specific dates and activities held by various sects to celebrate are also different.

Christmas customs spread to Asia mainly in the mid-19th century. Japan, South Korea, etc. were all influenced by Christmas culture.
