The Origin of Christmas
Dec 25 is the day that most Christianities celebrate the birth of Jesus.
There was no Christmas at first. It is said that the first Christmas was in 138, the first in record was in 336. But the bible doesn’t indicate on what day was Jesus born, so different Christmas days were celebrated in different places. Until 440, Roman church court fixed Dec 25 as the Christmas day.
In 1607, religious leaders all over the world met in Bethlehem and reached an agreement that Dec 25 would be the Christmas day. Since then, most Christians began to celebrate Dec 25, no matter where they are.
From the 19th century, with the popularizing of Christmas and Santa Claus, most people, no matter they believe in Christian or not began to celebrate the bible, Jesus was born at night, so the night of Dec 24 is known as the Christmas night.
聖誕節的由來
“聖誕節”這個名稱是“基督彌撒”的縮寫。彌撒是教會的.一種禮拜儀式。耶誕節是一個宗節我們把它當作耶蘇的誕辰來慶祝，因而又名耶誕節。這一天，世界所有的基督教會都舉行特別的禮拜儀式。但是有很多聖誕節的歡慶活動和宗教並無半點關聯。交換禮物，寄聖誕卡，這都使聖誕節成為一個普天同慶的日子。
聖誕節是基督教世界最大的節日。4世紀初，1月6日是羅馬帝國東部各教會紀念那穌降生和受洗的雙重節日、稱為“主顯節”Epiphany，亦稱“顯現節”即上帝通過那穌向世人顯示自己。當時只有那路拉冷的教會例外，那裡只紀念耶穌的誕生而不紀念那穌的受洗。後來歷史學家們在羅馬基督徒習用的日曆中發現公元354年12月25日頁內記錄著：“基督降生在猶大的伯利恆。”經過研究，一般認為12月25日伴為聖誕節可能開始於公元336年的羅馬教會)約在公元375年傳到小亞細亞的安提阿，公元430年傳到埃及的亞歷山大里亞，那路撒冷的教會接受得最晚，而亞美尼亞的教會則仍然堅持1月6日主顯節是那穌的誕辰。
