The origin of Christmas on Christmas Eve

Legend has it that on the night of Jesus' birth, shepherds herding sheep in the wilderness suddenly heard a voice in the sky telling them the news of Jesus' birth. According to the Bible, Jesus came to the world to be the king of the world and become a person that everyone believes, so angels spread the news to more people through these shepherds. So more people know that Jesus is about to be born.

Later, people imitated the angel and publicized the date of Jesus' birth everywhere, so people spread the news of Jesus' birth everywhere on Christmas Eve. Until today, it has evolved into a good news activity. And this activity has gradually passed down, so it has gradually become what people call Christmas Eve, that is, Christmas Eve, so the night of 65438+February 24 is traditionally called "Christmas Eve".

The origin of Christmas carnival night

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 designated 65438+February 25th as 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. In fact, it doesn't matter which day it is, but it is important to know that it is to commemorate the birth of the savior Jesus.
