3. Christmas customs

1. Christmas cards Nowadays, with the development of electronic products, British people keep the tradition of sending paper cards, such as birthday cards, wedding cards and Christmas cards. Christmas cards are printed to celebrate Christmas, so most cards have meanings, such as the scene of the birth of Jesus, the star of Bethlehem and so on. And most of them are mainly snow scenes, snowmen and Christmas customs.

Second, Christmas fireworks

The British will never miss this Christmas fireworks. After Christmas parties and Christmas dinners, guests usually pull Christmas firecrackers.

The popular Christmas fireworks are a kind of cardboard tube, which is shaped like a particularly large fruit candy. Two people pull one end, and a small explosion occurs when the paper tube is disconnected. The person who gets the big head will get a small gift, usually including a yellow crown paper hat. A small toy, a piece of paper with jokes, riddles or brain teasers on it. After Christmas parties and Christmas dinners, guests usually pull Christmas firecrackers.

Third, the Christmas tree

One of the most famous Christmas trees in Britain is located in Trafalgar Square in London. Starting from 1947, Oslo, the capital of Norway, presents a Christmas tree to the British people every year to express its gratitude to Britain for supporting Norway during the Second World War. The Christmas tree has become a symbol of friendship between Britain and Norway.

Fourth, a hundred fruit pies.

This kind of pie is an indispensable dessert during Christmas. The original 100-fruit pie was well-deserved, and the stuffing inside was meat, not all kinds of dried fruits today. It used to be oval, imitating the way Jesus slept in the Bible. And it is much bigger than it is now, because the task of pies at that time was to feed a large number of British people in the Middle Ages. In short, the meat in the formula has been gradually eliminated for many years, and now it has gradually become a small pie.

A saying that has been circulating since the Middle Ages is that if you eat a hundred fruit pies every day in the 12 days after Christmas, your life will be full of happiness in the next 12 months. On Christmas Eve, British children will leave a hundred pies and brandy for Santa Claus outside their homes and some carrots for Santa Claus's reindeer.

Five, Christmas drama

Every year before Christmas, primary schools and kindergartens in Britain rehearse Christmas plays and tell the story of the birth of Jesus. Children travel back more than 2000 years and play various roles for parents and teachers.

The scene of the play is the stable, the birthplace of Guido, and the story tells that a shepherd and three sages come to visit El Nino, Yue Se and Maria.

The characters in the play are usually played by primary school students. In early years, real animals, such as cows and donkeys, were used in these makeup plays. But nowadays students usually use makeup or props.

Imperative verb pantomime

This is a traditional English Christmas performance, called Panto for short. The audience is mainly children, and plays are generally adapted from fairy tales, such as Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. However, in the earliest days, pantomime was performed for adults. It is said that it originated from the celebration of the winter solstice in ancient Rome. In the performance at that time, everything was contrary to the usual practice, such as women disguised as men, just like Pantu now.

4. The origin of Christmas

Every year, 65438+February 25th is the day when most Christians in the world commemorate the birth of Jesus. There was no Christmas at the beginning of the church, and it didn't happen until about one hundred years after Jesus ascended to heaven. It is said that the first Christmas was held 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 the Holy See set 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, most Christians in the world have regarded 65438+February 25th as Christmas. /kloc-In the 20th century, Christmas cards became popular, Santa Claus appeared, and Christmas became popular.

Because the Bible records that Jesus was born at night, the night of 65438+February 24th is traditionally called "Silent Night" or "Silent Night".

On February 25th, 65438, Christmas is a day to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christian, the founder of Christianity, and it is a favorite festival of western countries and people.

According to the Bible, the holy book of Christians, God decided to let his only son Jesus Christ be born on the earth, find his mother, and then live on the earth, so that people can better understand God, learn to love God and love each other better. "Christmas" means "celebrating the Christian church", celebrating the moment when the young woman Maria gave birth to Jesus.

According to the Bible, Maria was engaged to Joseph, a carpenter. However, before they moved in together, Joseph found out that Maria was pregnant. Joseph wants to break up with her quietly, because he is a decent man and doesn't want to tell her about it and embarrass her. While he was thinking about it, the angel of God appeared in his dream and said to him, "Stop whispering and marry Maria home. The child she conceived came from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a boy, and you will name him Jesus, because he will save people from sin. "

5. Christmas introduction

Christmas is a holiday in the Christian world. At the beginning of the 4th century AD, 65438+1October 6th was a double festival for churches in the Eastern Roman Empire to commemorate the birth and baptism of Jesus, which was called Epiphany (also known as Epiphany), that is, God revealed himself to the world through Jesus. The only exception at that time was the church in Jerusalem, which only commemorated the birth of Jesus, not the baptism of Jesus. Later, historians found in the calendar used by Roman Christian Christians that the page on February 25, 65438+ A.D. 354 recorded: "Christian Christians were born in Bethlehem, Judah." After textual research, it is generally believed that 65438+February 25th is Christmas Day, which probably started in the Roman Church in 336 AD, spread to Antioch in Asia Minor in about 375 AD, and spread to Alexandria in Egypt in 430 AD. The church in Jerusalem accepted it at the latest, while the church in Armenia still insisted that Epiphany was the birthday of Jesus.

65438+February 25th was originally the birthday of Mitra, the Persian sun god (that is, god of light), and it was a pagan festival. At the same time, the sun god was also one of the gods of Roman Catholicism. This day is also the winter solstice festival of the Roman calendar, and pagans who worship the sun god regard this day as the hope of spring and the beginning of the revival of everything. Perhaps for this reason, the Roman church chose this day as Christmas. This is one of the measures that the early church tried to educate pagan customs. Later, although most churches accepted 65438+February 25th as Christmas Day, the calendars used by local churches were different, and the specific dates could not be unified. Therefore, the period from 65438+February 24th to 65438+1October 6th of the following year was designated as Christmas Day, and local churches could celebrate Christmas during this period according to local conditions. Since February 25th, 65438+ was recognized as Christmas by most churches, the Epiphany of 654381October 6th only commemorates the baptism of Jesus. However, the Catholic Church designated June 6, 65438+ as the "Three Kings Day" to commemorate the story that three kings (that is, three doctors) came to worship when Jesus was born.

With the widespread spread of Christianity, Christmas has become an important festival for Christians and even non-Christians of all denominations. In many countries in Europe and America, people attach great importance to this festival and associate it with the New Year. The excitement and solemnity of the celebration greatly surpassed the New Year and became a national festival. The main commemorative activities of 65438+February 25th are all related to the legend of the birth of Jesus. 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 in a year in western countries, which can be compared with the New Year, similar to the Spring Festival in China. 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 ornament of Christmas. It is decorated with evergreen trees in the form of towers, such as Chinese fir and cypress. Colorful lanterns, gifts and paper flowers are hung on it, and Christmas candles are lit. It is Santa Claus who contrasts red with white. He is a popular figure in Christmas activities. Before going to bed on Christmas Eve, western children should put a sock in front of the fireplace or beside the pillow. When they fall asleep, Santa Claus will put presents in the sock. Playing Santa Claus is also a custom in the west.
