Every year, 65438+February 25th is the day when Christians commemorate the birth of Jesus, which is called Christmas.

From 65438+February 24th to the following year, 65438+1October 6th is Christmas. During the festival, Christians from 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. The biggest festival of the year in China can be compared with the Spring Festival, just like the Spring Festival in China in the west.

Westerners use red, green and white as Christmas colors. When Christmas comes, every family should decorate it with Christmas colors. The red ones have Christmas flowers and Christmas candles. The green one is the Christmas tree. It is the main decoration of Christmas, decorated with evergreen trees such as fir and cypress that have been cut into towers.

Exchanging gifts and sending Christmas cards make Christmas a day of universal celebration.

There is a story about the birth of Jesus. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. God even sent the angel Gabriel to Yue Se in his dream, telling him not to abandon Maria just because she was unmarried and pregnant, but to marry her and name the child "Jesus", which means to save people from sin.

When Maria was about to give birth, Rome gave an order that everyone must declare their household registration when they came to Bethlehem. Yue Se and Mary had to obey.

When they arrived in Bethlehem, it was already dark, but they couldn't find a hotel for the night, only a stable could stay. Just then, Jesus was born! So Mary only gave birth to Jesus in a manger. In order to commemorate the birth of Jesus, later generations designated1February 25th as Christmas, and held mass every year to commemorate the birth of Jesus.

Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus on1February 25th, but no one knows his real date of birth. /kloc-In the 9th century, with the popularity of Christmas cards and the appearance of Santa Claus, Christmas became popular.

The origin of Santa Claus

Christmas is an exciting day, especially for children. I believe everyone is familiar with Santa Claus? Once upon a time, there was an old man named Nicholas who loved to help poor families all his life. Once he helped three poor teenagers and gave them three bags of gold, which saved them from being sold. When Nicholas secretly gave a bag of gold to one of the women, he threw the gold out of a window and fell into a sock on the wall. Therefore, the way to give gifts by wearing Christmas stockings is to ask for candy from door to door!

It is said that on the night of Christmas Eve, the Santa Husbands Association will drive reindeer sleigh full of gifts to send some children who have behaved well in the past year. He would sneak into the house from the chimney and stuff gifts into socks hanging on the bedside. Therefore, children always hang colorful socks on the bedside and put a cup of hot milk next to them to quench their thirst for hard-working Santa Claus and give themselves a big gift.

The next day, every child can't wait to open the ceremony and want to know what reward he got.

1822, after a Dutch missionary spread the story of this great philanthropist to the United States, American businessmen used this festival every year to publicize advertisements with special marketing techniques and made a lot of money. Japan and other Asian countries followed suit. Therefore, the custom of dressing up as Santa Claus to celebrate Christmas has gradually become popular all over the world.

The origin of Christmas tree

1. It is said that around16th century, Germans first placed evergreen pine and cypress branches in their houses as decorations.

Today, people have switched to light bulbs instead of candles.

This day is also the winter solstice festival of the Roman calendar, which means the beginning of the revival of everything. Perhaps for this reason, the Roman church chose this day as Christmas. Later, due to the different almanac used by local churches, the specific date could not be unified, so the period from February 24, 65438 to the following year1October 6 was designated as ChristmasTide, and local churches could celebrate Christmas during this period according to local conditions. In many countries in Europe and America, people attach great importance to this festival and associate it with the New Year.

What is the origin of Christmas? What's the special meaning? American tradition thinks that Santa Claus comes from the North Pole, but Nordic countries think that they are the hometown of Santa Claus. At the 40th world santa claus congress, Greenland, a Danish territory, was recognized as the real hometown of Santa Claus. Legend 1: It is said that Santa Claus appeared in Scandinavia thousands of years ago. In Norse mythology, Odin, the god of wisdom, art, poetry and war, rode his eight-legged horse to the ends of the earth in the cold winter to punish evil and promote good and distribute gifts. At the same time, his son Thor wore red clothes and used lightning as a weapon to fight against the god of ice and snow in the dark, and finally defeated the cold. According to pagan legend, Santa Claus is a descendant of Odin. Legend 2: There is also a legend that Santa Claus is made up of saints? Nicholas has come, so Santa Claus is also called Saint Nicholas. It is said that he is the bishop of Mera City in Asia Minor (Izmir, a port city in western Turkey). He lived in the 4th century AD and was born in patara, Asia Minor. His family is very rich and his parents are very enthusiastic Catholic friends. Unfortunately, his parents died young. When Nicholas grew up, he donated all his wealth to the poor, became a monk himself, and devoted his life to the church and served the society. Nicholas later became a priest and was promoted to bishop. After his death, he was honored as a saint. He is an old man with a white beard and a red hat. In his life, he has done a lot of charity work, and he likes to help the poor in secret. Santa Claus was his later nickname, which came from the story that he secretly sent money to help three girls. It is said that there are three beautiful girls living not far from Nicholas. They are twenty, eighteen and sixteen years old. My father is a poor scholar and often lives by borrowing money. Once, because she was unable to pay her debts, she had to sell her beautiful and healthy third daughter to a creditor and take her to Africa as a maid. When the three daughters learned about this, they hugged each other and cried. The sad situation at home can be imagined. Nicholas knew about it and ran to their house to comfort him. In the evening, Nicholas put three pairs of gold stockings and hung them secretly in front of the three girls' windows. When they got the gold and paid off their father's debts, their third daughter was spared the fate of being a maid. The next day was Christmas. Knowing that Nicholas had done something good, they invited him to celebrate and thank him. Every Christmas, these three girls tell this story. Hearing this, the children are very envious and hope that Santa Claus will give him a sock gift. Later, I don't know which clever parents began to give socks to their children in the name of Santa Claus. As a result, this habit became popular in Europe and America. Nicholas later became the bishop of Milla. Because he was an orphan when he was a child, he became a special protector of orphans. After his death, the church listed him as a saint. His spirit of caring for orphans and helping the poor has been passed down with Christmas. Later, many kind people in the world followed Nicholas's spirit of love and donated many things in the name of Santa Claus, bringing love to the poor, the poor elderly and orphans. Every year when Christmas comes, Santa Claus always appears all over the world, bringing warmth and happiness to millions of children, lonely old people and abandoned children in Qian Qian. We hope that all the friends who live well in the world are Santa Claus, and spread the glory of love to every corner of the world within our power, not only at Christmas, but even at ordinary times. Because most of these stories carry forward the Christian spirit, their origins and story plots are mostly forgotten, but Santa Claus lives in people's spiritual world forever. Every Christmas (Christmas is the day when the God Jesus was born in the western Christian legend, which is equivalent to the Spring Festival in China), Santa Claus rides reindeer and Santa Claus comes to the world with a Christmas tree.
