The word Christmas comes from the words Cristes maesse, or "Christ’s Mass". Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus for members of the Christian religion. Most historians peg the first celebration of Christmas to Rome in 336 AD. Christmas is both a holiday and a Holy Day. In America it is the biggest event of the year (especially for kids), and for members of the Christian religions it is an important day on the religious calendar. 

The federal government, all state governments, all schools/colleges/universities and the vast majority of businesses in America give employees one or two days off at Christmas, making it an important holiday (other federal holidays are: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving). In the Roman Catholic calendar, Christmas is one of 6 holy feast days celebrated in America, the others being: Circumcision (New Year‘s Day), Ascension, Assumption (Mary’s Assumption into heaven, August 15), All Saints (November 2), and the Immaculate Conception.

How many festivals are there in the world? Im afraid no one can tell. But which holiday in the world has the most influence and spread the most? The answer is clear: its Christmas.

There are more than 140 countries and regions on earth to celebrate Christmas. The festival, which lasts from December 24 to January 6, is the most widely circulated and the most heavily attended festival in the world. It can be said that Christmas is a universal festival that transcends national boundaries.

Christmas commemorates the birth of the Christian founder Jesus Christ. According to the bible, unmarried female maria gave birth to Jesus on a winter night because of her "conception of the holy spirit". Christians took Jesus to be born this year as the beginning of the world, is "the first" international now is this dating method, called "AD", that is what we call "Gregorian calendar". The birthday of Jesus was not recorded in history until the Roman Catholic church in A.D. 354 stipulated that December 25 was "Christmas". Why choose this day? It turns out that December 25th of every year is the festival of saturnalia, which falls on the heels of the lunar winter solstice, the shortest day of the day, the longest night and the least sunshine. From the festival of saturnalia, the days get longer, the nights get shorter, the days get longer and the sun gives people light and warmth. In order to thank the sun for the blessing of the sun, a variety of celebrations are held at the festival of saturnalia, and they are worshiped by the sun. The birth of Jesus is the same day as saturnalia, to show that the birth of Jesus is the rebirth of the sun, and Jesus is like the sun. Thus, Jesus birthday was made in this way.

Although Christmas is on December 25th, the Christmas season begins on December 24th. This is like the Chinese Spring Festival not from the beginning of the first month, but from the beginning of the thirty years.

Christmas activities are not exactly the same, but they are similar. From this point of view, it is clear that Christmas is indeed a very unusual world festival.

The name Christmas is short for Christs Mass. A Mass is a kind of Church service. Christmas is a religious festival. It is the day we celebrate as the birthday of Jesus.

There are special Christmas services in Christian churches all over the world. But many of the festivities of Christmas do not have anything to do with religion. Exchanging gifts and sending Christmas cards are the modern ways of celebrating the Christmas in the world.

The birth of Jesus had a story: In Nazareth, a city of Galilee. The virgins name was Mary was betrothed to Joseph. Before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband was minded to put her away secretly. While he thought about these things, Gabriel, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and told him did not be afraid to take Mary as wife. And Mary will bring forth a Son, and he shall call his name, Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.

Before Jesus births, Joseph and Mary came to Quintus was governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up out of Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and of the lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. So it was that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

And that, Christmas is the feast of the nativity of Jesus, is on 25th, December every year. But nobody know the actual birthday of Jesus. And the Christmas has become popular when Christmas cards appeared in 1846 and the concept of a jolly Santa Claus was first made popular in nineteenth Century.

Christmas Miracles

Christmas is a time for miracles.It is also a time when the dull things of daily life and the forecast of human hature gives way to a spiritual awakening.Allow me to share with you one truly wonder of Christmas.

Our miracle story comes from an incident that occurred in Flanders, Belgium, at the dawn of World War I. On December 24th ,1914, German and English troops faced each other from the relative safety of their ditches across which no mans land lying between them. Suddenly, the silence was broken, not by gunfire, but by the strains of Silent Night arising from the German position. It wasnt long before the English troops responded with a Yuletide hymn of their own. Then an amazing sight surprised the eyes of the English soldiers. A German soldier holding a small tree arranged with lighted candles began to walk across the land toward the English lines. This miraculous scene occasioned the declaration of a truce followed by English and German troops greeting one another, exchanging small gifts and singing songs of Christmas. Word of this incredible phenomenon reached the High Command of both sides.

On Christmas Day, both armies moved from their positions to engage in the killing of war at other battlefields. However, on Christmas Eve 1914 on a field in Flanders, there was Peace on Earth.

Christmas is a truly amazing phenomenon. The day and season perpetuate a miraculous, historical event as an annual presence that challenges an often rough, cruel, and egotistical creature -- the human being -- to become open and amenable to their Creators vision. The great miracle of Christmas continues in the performance of humane acts, moral honesty, and in the spiritual awareness of millions struggling to lead a life of grace.

圣誕奇跡

圣誕節(jié)是一個(gè)產(chǎn)生奇跡的節(jié)日。它也是人們從單調(diào)的日常生活和關(guān)于人性的種種預(yù)言中覺醒的日子。請(qǐng)?jiān)试S我與各位分享一個(gè)真正的圣誕奇跡。

這個(gè)奇跡故事來自發(fā)生在第一次世界大戰(zhàn)的黎明時(shí)分，比利時(shí)的弗蘭德省的一件事。在1914年12月24日，英德兩軍分別在各自相對(duì)安全的戰(zhàn)壕中對(duì)峙，誰都不敢越雷池一步。突然間夜空的`寧靜被打破，不是由槍聲，而是由從德國(guó)陣地中傳來的《平安夜》的曲調(diào)劃破。不久英國(guó)軍隊(duì)中也奏響了他們自己的《圣誕季節(jié)》之歌。緊接著，一個(gè)令人驚奇的景象著實(shí)讓英國(guó)士兵吃了一驚。一位德國(guó)士兵手持一棵小樹，樹上整齊地排列著點(diǎn)燃的蠟燭，他越過邊界走向英國(guó)陣地。這一奇跡般的景象使雙方暫時(shí)休戰(zhàn)，英德兩軍互相問候，交換小禮物，唱圣誕歌。這一令人無法置信的情況傳到雙方最高指揮官耳中。

在圣誕節(jié)，兩軍離開各自的陣地轉(zhuǎn)戰(zhàn)其他陣地進(jìn)行大規(guī)模屠殺。然而在1914年平安夜，在弗蘭德省的戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)上卻出現(xiàn)過和平。

Christmas Day-December 25-which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the founder of the Christian religion, is the biggest and best-loved holiday in the United States.

According to the Bible, the holy book of Christians, God decided to allow his only son, Jesus Christ, to be born to a human mother and live on earth so that people could understand God better and learn to love God and each other more. "Christmas"- meaning "celebration of Christ "- honors the time when Jesus was born to a young Jewish woman Mary.

Mary was engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter, but before they came together, she was found to be with child. Because Joseph, her husband, was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."

Although the exact date of the birth of Jesus nearly 2,000 years ago is not known, the calendar on the supposed date divides all time into B.C. (Before Christ )and A.D. ( a Latin phrase, Anno Domini, "in the year of our Lord.")For the first 300 years, Jesus birthday was celebrated on different dates. Finally, in the year 354, church leaders chose December 25 as his birthday.
