Origin of Christmas Eve:

Luke 2: 14 in the New Testament records: "On the night when Jesus was born, shepherds in the wilderness of Bethlehem heard the call of angels at night. The angel told them, "don't be afraid, I have good news for you, which concerns all people." Because today in the city of David, a savior, the Lord Christ, was born for you. The translation of Christmas Eve also comes from this chapter: "Glory to God in the highest place! Peace on earth belongs to those who please him. "
