Christmas
Christmas Christmas, 25 December of each year, is a traditional holiday of the Church's calendar, the Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.
On Christmas, most of the Catholic churches first staged Christmas Eve on 24 December, the early morning of 25 December, the evening mass, while some Christian churches celebrated Christmas on 25 December, while another major branch of Christianity, the Orthodox Church, celebrated Christmas on 7 January each year.
Christmas tree Christmas Christmas Day is the abbreviation of "Christ Caesar".
China's basic translation, with the exception of the mainland, is Christmas, which is more accurate.
Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ of his faith “Christmas' celebration comes at the same time as Christianity and is presumed to begin in the 1st century A.C.
The date of Christmas has not been set for a long time, because the exact date of birth of Jesus is controversial, and there is no mention of Jesus except in the New Testament; the New Testament does not know the date, and no one of course knows the exact date.
In the first 300 years after A.C., Jesus' birthday was celebrated on different days.
Before the third century, writers tried to set Christmas on spring break.
Until mid-century, when Christianity was legalized in Rome, in 354, the Bishop of Rome designated 25 December of Julian as the birth day of Jesus.
Today's Christmas day is inextricably linked to the creation of the Year.
The year was founded in the 5th century A.C., and the day of Christmas was then determined in accordance with the Grigorithic calendar, the “Calendar” of the year A.C., and the calendar was divided by assumed dates into pre-C.
(pre-born Jesus Christ) and post-C.D.
(A.
D.
is Latin abbreviated, meaning “the age of Jesus Christ with our Lord”).
Subsequently, although the general church accepted 25 December as Christmas, the specific dates could not be unified due to differences in the calendars used by the local church, so that the 6th of January from 24 December to the following year (Christmas Tide) was set for Christmas festivals, during which local churches could celebrate Christmas.
The Church of the West, including the Roman Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion and Protestant Church, established Christmas as 25 December of the calendar.
The Orthodox Church's designation of Christmas Day as 7 January (in fact known as “Major Day”) is linked to the Orthodox Church's failure to accept the Grigorithic reform and acceptance of the revised Julianic calendar, thus delaying Christmas to 7 January in the period between 1900 and 2099.
Bulgaria and Romania are also Orthodox districts, but Christmas dates follow Western European customs of 25 December, but Easter follows.
The oldest Christian Armenian Apostolic Church, however, determined that it was 6 January, while the Armenian Church paid more attention to the festival than to Christmas.
Christmas is also a public holiday in the Western world and in many other regions, such as Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore in Asia.
Non-Christians in the worldJust view Christmas as a secular cultural holiday.
The Church began without Christmas, about 100 years after Jesus had risen.
It is said that the first Christmas was held in 138 A.D.
at the initiative of the Bishop of Rome, St.
Clemens.
The first Christmas in the history of the Church was in 336 A.D.
Since the Bible does not remember when Jesus was born, Christmas dates vary from place to place.
It was not until 440 A.D.
that the Holy See designated 25 December as Christmas.
Church leaders from around the world gathered in Bethlehem in 1607 A.D.
for further identification, and since then most Christians in the world have adopted 25 December as Christmas.
In the nineteenth century, Christmas cards were popping, Santa Claus was appearing, and Christmas was beginning to pop.
The term means “Christ's mass”, that is, “a mass of Christ”.
The ceremony originated in the New Testament's “Final Dinner”.
And the word “Christ's mass” is a complication of Greek and Latin, because Christ came from Greek, and he was old and thought, meaning that he was a Jew's “anophere”, and he was from Latin missa, which was meant to break up (dismissal) and to be a Christian grateful party.
So sometimes it's called "Xmas." This may be because X is like the Greek letter Chi; it's the Greek word "christ" and the first letter in Christos.
In order to respect people of other faiths, the religious colour of Christmas is diluted.
Dutch is similar to English and is known as Kerstroeten.
The Spanish language of Christmas is called Navidad or Pascuas, the Portuguese language is called Festas, the Polish language is called Narodzenie, the French language is called Noel, the Italian language is called Natale and the Catalan language is called Nadal, meaning “birth”, which more clearly reflects Christmas.
By contrast, German is called Weihnachten, meaning “sacred night”。
