Introduction to the origin of Christmas and Santa Claus
Everyone is familiar with Christmas, but not everyone knows how Christmas came about. So, let’s take a look at the origin of Christmas. Although there are no long holidays in the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, November is here, so is the New Year far away? This winter, Mr. Shui Mo will accompany you in looking forward to the New Year. We will explain to you the good and bad luck every day in November of the lunar calendar in 2020.Introduction to the Origin of ChristmasChristmas Introduction:Christmas is also known as the Christmas of Jesus and the Feast of the Nativity of the Lord. In Catholicism, it is also known as the Feast of the Nativity of Jesus. Translated as "Christ Mass", it originated from the Saturnalia, which was a festival held by the ancient Romans to welcome the new year, and has nothing to do with Christianity. After Christianity became popular in the Roman Empire, the Vatican followed the trend and incorporated this folk festival into the Christian system to celebrate the birth of Jesus. But Christmas is not Jesus' birthday, because the Bible does not record the specific day when Jesus was born, nor does it mention the existence of such a festival. This is the result of Christianity absorbing ancient Roman mythology. Most Catholic churches will first hold midnight mass on Christmas Eve, December 24, or in the early morning of December 25, while some Christian churches will hold the Annunciation and then celebrate Christmas on December 25; another major branch of Christianity, the Orthodox Church, celebrates Christmas on January 7 every year. Origin of Christmas: According to the Bible, the holy book of Christians, God decided to let his only Son Jesus Christ be born into the world, find a mother, and then live on earth so that people can better understand God, learn to love God and better love each other. "Christmas" means "celebration of Christ" and celebrates the moment when Jesus was born to a young Jewish woman, Mary. Maria is engaged to Joseph, a carpenter. However, before they lived together, Joseph discovered that Mary was pregnant. Because Joseph was a decent man and didn't want to tell this to others and embarrass her, he wanted to break up with her quietly. While he was thinking about this, an angel of God appeared to him in a dream and said, "Stop murmuring and take Mary home. The child she is carrying is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save people from their sins." The Origin of Santa ClausIt is said that he was originally the bishop of Myra in Asia Minor, named Saint Nicholas. He was revered as a saint after his death. He was an old man with a white beard wearing a red robe and a red hat. Every Christmas he comes from the north on a sleigh pulled by reindeer, enters every house through the chimney, and puts Christmas gifts in socks and hangs them on children's bedsides or in front of the fireplace. So, when Westerners celebrate Christmas, parents put Christmas gifts for their children in socks and hang them on the head of their children's beds on Christmas Eve. The next day, the first thing the children did after waking up was to look for the gifts sent by Santa Claus at the head of their bed. Today, Santa Claus has become a symbol of good luck and fortune. He is not only an indispensable figure during Christmas, but also an indispensable figure during the New Year celebrations. |
