The church did not exist at first, about a hundred years after Jesus ascended to heaven. It is said that it was held for the first time in A.D. 138 at the initiative of Bishop St Clemens of Rome. The first Christmas in the history of the church was in 336 AD. Because the Bible does not clearly remember the time when Jesus was born, the date of Christmas varies from place to place. It was not until 440 AD that it was decided that it was 65438+ February.
The 25th is Christmas. In A.D. 1607, church leaders from all over the world gathered in Bethlehem, which further confirmed this point. Since then, 65438+February 25th has been regarded as Christmas in most parts of the world. /kloc-In the 20th century, Christmas cards became popular, Santa Claus appeared, and Christmas became popular.

The meaning of Christmas is to commemorate the birth of Jesus.
It is said that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was 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.

What is the meaning of Christmas? The traditional customs of Christmas.
First, decorate the Christmas tree.
The custom of Christmas tree comes from Germany, which is cut by some evergreen trees, and often uses trees with towers such as fir trees and pine trees. Trees are usually decorated with gold and silver bars, crutches, apples and small gifts. Apples symbolize the rich products of the Garden of Eden, and gifts symbolize the gifts given to Jesus by oriental doctors. The walking stick on the Christmas tree is a shepherd's walking stick. The inverted walking stick is similar to the initials of Jesus and also symbolizes Jesus.
The silver ribbon on the Christmas tree symbolizes holiness, and the gold ribbon symbolizes glory. The bow symbolizes that this person is closely connected with God, and God loves the world forever.

Christmas cards are generally printed with pictures during Christmas, such as snow scenes, snowmen, Santa Claus, reindeer and so on. There are also some greeting cards printed with Christian elements, such as the scene of the birth of Jesus.
The importance of Christmas
1, God is willing to establish a close relationship with people. God came into the world in human form and was crucified for our sins, so that we stubborn sinners could restore close relationship with God. God and mankind are reconciled forever. This is the meaning of Christmas, and this is why we commemorate Christmas.
2. You can give each other Christmas gifts and express your blessings. People give gifts to each other at Christmas because God gave his only son, Jesus Christ, the most precious gift in the world, so people rejoiced and gave gifts to commemorate God's love.
3. Invite friends to visit at home. You can invite friends to your home, have dinner together, read the Bible verses about the birth of Jesus together after dinner, and express your gratitude to God for giving Jesus by loving each other. The Bible says, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Opening the family is a special way for God to bless us.
4. Participate in the Christmas celebrations in the church. Every Christmas, churches all over the world hold a "Christmas Eve Sacred Music Worship" on the evening of February 24, 65438, with the purpose of commemorating the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ with songs of praise. You can go to church to participate in such activities, while feeling and thinking about the meaning and way out of life.
What is the moral of Christmas? For all people abroad, Christmas is a day of celebration. For Europeans and Americans, Christmas is like the Spring Festival in China. They celebrate Christmas, give Christmas presents and participate in various Christmas activities.
First of all, let's start with its birth.
The Bible says that because a baby is born for us and a son is given to us, the regime will fall on his shoulders. His name is wonderful, consultant, almighty God, eternal father and prince of peace. So the bud of this festival began to grow. Such people are closely related to our lives. But in people's minds, Christmas is a carnival, a traditional culture and a day to ward off evil spirits. The Bible tells us that Christmas is the birth day of Jesus Christ and will always be our mediator. It is also a day for everyone to establish a life relationship with Almighty God, and a good day for people to make peace with God. Jesus was not born for others, but for us. Our life, actions and existence depend on him. Just like you poets, some people say that we were born of him. Jesus came to save people from sin.
Second, happiness in the eyes of those young people.
First of all, the so-called "Christmas" is mainly celebrated by businessmen and young people, and most people with certain age experience are indifferent to it. Businessmen are looking for opportunities to engage in business activities. Their purpose is to make money by doing business. Of course, they don't think about culture. In their eyes, "Christmas" is no different from the "Double Eleven" and "Double Twelve" that merchants have engaged in in in recent years. They are all urging consumers to spend reasonably.
Secondly, in the eyes of young people, they don't have the idea of so-called cultural exchange, but only fun and excitement. People with a heart, in such a relaxed and lively atmosphere, take the opportunity to show their love to their favorite objects. Think about it, it is definitely a cost-effective thing to give gifts at the so-called "Christmas" to get rid of the bill. Even if they don't take off the bill, young people will have more opportunities to have fun together, to say the least, even if it is irrelevant. What's wrong with having fun with friends? So in their minds, they don't think of any cultural exchanges, they just take the opportunity to have fun, that's all.
