The Origin and Customs of Christmas Christmas and Christmas Eve can be said to be the most popular Western traditional festivals in our country. When Christmas is approaching, the streets and alleys are filled with very rich The Christmas atmosphere is very lively, and the Christmas decorations are also very beautiful. Let me introduce to you the origin and customs of Christmas. The origin of Christmas: Christmas (Christmas), also known as Christmas Day, is translated as "Christ's Mass". It originated from the Saturnalia when the ancient Romans welcomed the New Year and has nothing to do with Christianity. After Christianity became popular in the Roman Empire, the Holy See followed the trend and incorporated this folk festival into the Christian system to celebrate the birth of Jesus. But Christmas is not the birthday of Jesus, because the Bible does not record the specific day when Jesus was born, and it also does not mention the existence of such a festival. It is the result of Christianity absorbing ancient Roman mythology. Most Catholic churches will first hold midnight mass on Christmas Eve, December 24, that is, in the early morning of December 25, while some Christian churches will hold good news and then celebrate Christmas on December 25; One major branch, the Orthodox Church, celebrates Christmas on January 7th every year. Christmas customs: Gifts: Christmas cards Christmas cards (Christmas cards) are very popular in the United States and Europe. Many families bring annual family photos or family news with the greeting cards. The news generally includes the advantages and specialties of family members in the past year.

Sending Christmas cards not only expresses the joy of celebrating Christmas, but also expresses blessings to relatives and friends to express remembrance. Especially for relatives and friends who are in loneliness, it is kind care and comfort. Decoration: Christmas stockings used to be a pair of large red socks of any size.
