What is the origin of Santa Claus’ reindeer?Regarding the story of Santa Claus and his reindeer, it is said that Finland is the hometown of Santa Claus and also the birthplace of reindeer. It is here that the beautiful legend of Santa Claus delivering gifts to children on Christmas Eve on a flying sleigh pulled by reindeer was born. Santa Claus climbs into the house through the chimney and leaves Christmas presents for the children. Santa Claus has a total of 9 reindeer. The leading reindeer is called Rudolph, who has a glowing red nose. The other 8 are called: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Donder, Blitzen, Comet, Vixen and Cupid. Reindeer and Santa Claus are endowed with many beautiful myths and legends, and are regarded as symbols of holiness, joy and peace in the West.The development of ChristmasAs we all know, Christmas was established to celebrate the birth of Jesus, but the Bible never mentions that Jesus was born on this day. Many historians even believe that Jesus was born in spring. It wasn't until the 3rd century that December 25th was officially designated as Christmas. Despite this, some Orthodox churches still celebrate January 6th and 7th as Christmas.More than 1,300 years ago, in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty celebrated the birth of Jesus for the Nestorian Christians in the Daming Palace. He distributed fragrant cakes to the believers and held a grand banquet to entertain the monks. This is the only record in historical materials about Christmas in the Tang Dynasty. This moment was forever engraved on the "Stele of the Spread of Nestorian Christianity in China" built by Emperor Dezong in 781 AD[4]. According to the "Preface to the Mysterious Poems", Jesus at that time was translated as "Mo Yan" which means the Virgin Mary, and "Cool Breeze" which means the Holy Spirit. Christmas is originally a religious holiday. In the 19th century, the popularity of Christmas cards and the appearance of Santa Claus made Christmas gradually become popular. After the custom of Christmas celebration became popular in Northern Europe, Christmas decorations that combined with the winter in the Northern Hemisphere also appeared. From the early to mid-nineteenth century, the whole of Europe and America began to celebrate Christmas. And the corresponding Christmas culture has evolved. Christmas spread to Asia in the mid-nineteenth century, and Japan, South Korea, China and other countries were all influenced by Christmas culture. After the reform and opening up, Christmas became particularly popular in China. By the beginning of the 21st century, Christmas had been organically integrated into local Chinese customs and had become increasingly mature. Eating apples, wearing Christmas hats, sending Christmas cards, attending Christmas parties, and Christmas shopping have become part of Chinese life. |
