How to spend Christmas?

Christmas Customs

There are many Christmas customs, including secular, religious, national and Christmas customs, which vary greatly from country to country. The Christmas symbols and activities that most people are familiar with, such as the Christmas tree, Christmas ham, Yule logs, holly, mistletoe, and the exchange of gifts, were absorbed by Christian missionaries from the early Asatru pagan winter solstice holiday Yule. Celebrations of the winter solstice were widespread in Northern Europe long before Christianity arrived, and today the word Christmas remains pagan in Scandinavian languages. The Christmas tree is believed to have first appeared in Germany. Pope Gregory I did not try to ban popular pagan festivals, but instead allowed Christian clergy to reinterpret them in the Christian meaning they ascribed to them. He allowed most customs to continue with slight modifications or even to remain intact. Deals between religious and governmental authorities and celebrants keep Christmas going. In areas where Christian theocracy flourished, such as Cromwell's England and the early New England colonies, celebrations were prohibited. After the Russian Revolution, Christmas celebrations were banned by the Soviet Communist regime in the Soviet Union for 75 years. Even now some sects, such as Jehovah's Witnesses who are regarded as heretics by the Christian Orthodox Church, some Puritan organizations, and some ultra-conservative Christian fundamentalists still regard Christmas as a pagan holiday that is not recognized by the Bible, and Refuse to celebrate it.

The origin of Christmas

December 25th every year is the day when Christians commemorate the birth of Jesus, called Christmas. From December 24th to January 6th of the following year is the Christmas holiday. During the festival, Christians from all over the world hold grand commemorative ceremonies. Christmas was originally a Christian holiday. Because people paid special attention to it, it became a national holiday. The country's most grand holiday of the year can be compared with the New Year, similar to the Spring Festival in the West. Westerners use red, green and white as Christmas colors. When Christmas comes, every household must be decorated with Christmas colors. The red ones have Christmas flowers and Christmas candles. The green one is the Christmas tree. It is the main decoration of Christmas and is decorated with tower-shaped evergreen trees such as felled fir and cypress. Colorful lights, gifts and paper flowers are hung above, and Christmas candles are lit. The red and white contrast is Santa Claus, who is the most popular figure in Christmas activities. Before going to bed on Christmas Eve, Western children put a sock in front of the fireplace or next to the pillow, and wait for Santa Claus to put gifts in the sock after they fall asleep. In the West, playing Santa Claus is also a custom. The name "Christmas" is an abbreviation of "Christ's Mass". The Mass is a liturgy of the Church. Christmas is a religious holiday. We celebrate it as the birthday of Jesus, so it is also called Christmas. On this day, all Christian churches around the world hold special worship services. But there are many Christmas celebrations that have nothing to do with religion. Exchanging gifts and sending Christmas cards make Christmas a day of universal celebration. There is a story about the birth of Jesus. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. God even sent the messenger Gabriel to speak to Joseph in a dream, telling him not to reject Mary because she was pregnant out of wedlock, but to marry her and name the child "Jesus", which meant that he would save the people from their sins. rescued. When Mary was about to die, the Roman government issued an order that all people must declare their household registration when they went to Bethlehem. Joseph and Mary had no choice but to obey. When they arrived in Bethlehem, it was already dark. Unfortunately, the two of them could not find a hotel to spend the night. There was only a stable for temporary accommodation. At this moment, Jesus is going to be born! So Mary gave birth to Jesus in a manger. In order to commemorate the birth of Jesus, later generations designated December 25th as Christmas, and celebrated mass every year to commemorate the birth of Jesus. Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus on December 25th, but no one knows the real birth date. In the 19th century, with the popularity of Christmas cards and the appearance of Santa Claus, Christmas also became popular. The Origin of Santa Claus Christmas is a day of excitement and anticipation, especially for children. I believe everyone is familiar with Santa Claus, right? Once upon a time there was an old man named Nicholas who loved helping poor people most in his life. On one occasion, he helped three poor young queens by giving them three bags of gold to escape the misfortune of being sold. When Nicholas secretly gave one of the bags of gold to one of the women, he threw the gold in through one of the windows and it happened to fall into a long stocking on the wall. So, put the gift in a Christmas stocking and go door to door asking for candies! It is said that on the night of Christmas Eve, Father Christmas will drive a reindeer sleigh loaded with gifts to give to children who have performed well this year. He will quietly climb into the house through the chimney and stuff the gifts into the socks hanging on the bedside. Therefore, children will always hang strips of colorful socks on the bedside, and put a cup of hot milk next to the socks to quench the thirst of the hard-working Santa Claus and give themselves a big gift. The next day, every child couldn't wait to open the gifts and wanted to know what reward they got. In 1822, after a Dutch missionary spread the story of this great philanthropist to the United States, American businessmen used special marketing techniques to use this festival to advertise with great fanfare every year and make a fortune. In Asia, Japan and other countries Other countries have followed suit. Therefore, the custom of dressing up as Santa Claus to celebrate Christmas has gradually become popular all over the world.

The origin of the Christmas tree 1. It is said that around the 16th century, the Germans first brought evergreen pine and cypress branches into their houses to display them. Later, the German missionary Martin Luther placed candles on the fir branches in the woods and lit them. , making it look like the starlight that leads people to Bethlehem, just like the three wise men from the East two thousand years ago found Jesus according to the stars in the sky.

Before the child left, he broke off a pine branch and inserted it into the ground. The pine branch immediately turned into a tree. , hung with gifts to thank the farmers for their kindness. However, the Christmas tree really appeared at Christmas, first seen in Germany, and later introduced to Europe and the United States, becoming an indispensable Christmas decoration. They usually decorate the Christmas tree with colorful lights, wax, gifts or angels, especially people living in the northwest United States. Because of the rich local forest resources, they will go with the whole family to pick a real tree as a Christmas tree. There are many types of Christmas trees, including natural pine and cypress Christmas trees, artificial Christmas trees and white Christmas trees. Every Christmas tree is hung with a dazzling array of decorations, but there must be a huge star at the top of each tree, symbolizing the star that led the three wise men to find Jesus. Moreover, according to traditional customs, only the head of the family can hang the star of hope, and no one else can do it for him.

According to the Bible, Jesus came to be the king of the world, so angels used these shepherds to spread the news to more people. Later, people followed the example of angels and reported the news of the birth of Jesus everywhere on Christmas Eve night. To this day, reporting the good news has become an indispensable program of Christmas. Usually the good news team consists of about twenty young people, plus a little girl dressed as an angel and a Santa Claus. On Christmas Eve, around nine o'clock, families started going one by one to report the good news. Whenever the good news team goes to a family, they will first sing a few Christmas songs that everyone is familiar with, and then the little girl will read out the words of the Bible to let the family know that tonight is the day that Jesus was born. After that, everyone will pray together before singing One or two poems, and then the generous Santa Claus delivers Christmas gifts to the small hall of that family, and the whole process of announcing the good news is complete!
