Introduction to the origin of Christmas. How did the name Christmas come from?
Speaking of Christmas, I believe everyone is familiar with it. So, let’s take a look at the origin of Christmas. You can listen to the wind. As the eleventh month of the lunar calendar is getting closer, there have been several heavy snowfalls in the north. So do you know what your fortune will be like in November of the lunar calendar in 2020? Let’s take a look with Mr. Shui Mo.The Origin of ChristmasChristmas is a festival that celebrates the birth of Jesus.It is said that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. God sent the angel Gabriel to tell Joseph in a dream that he should not abandon Mary because she was pregnant out of wedlock, but should marry her and name the child "Jesus", meaning that he would save the people from sin. When Mary was about to give birth, the Roman government issued an order that all people must go to Bethlehem to register their household registration. Joseph and Mary had no choice but to obey. When they arrived in Bethlehem, it was already dark. Unfortunately, the two of them could not find a hotel to stay in, so there was only a stable where they could stay temporarily. At this time, Jesus was about to be born. So Mary gave birth to Jesus in a manger. In order to commemorate the birth of Jesus, later generations set December 25 as Christmas and attend mass every year to commemorate the birth of Jesus. Christmas developed from the early to mid-nineteenth century, and the whole of Europe and America began to celebrate Christmas. After the reform and opening up, Christmas began to spread in China, and it was organically integrated with local Chinese customs, and its development became increasingly mature. Common Christmas customs include: Christmas cards, Christmas stockings, Christmas hats, Christmas trees, etc. This is the origin of Christmas. How did Christmas get its name?Christmas is the abbreviation of "Christ, Mass". Mass is a worship ceremony of the church . On Christmas Day, all Christian churches will hold special church ceremonies.But today, many Christmas celebrations have nothing to do with religion. They are simply about exchanging gifts, sending Christmas cards, and wishing each other well. For most people, Christmas is a day of celebration for everyone. Do you know the origin of the Christmas tree?The origin of the Christmas tree:Around the 16th century, the Christmas tree first appeared in Germany. The Germans brought evergreen pine and cypress branches into their homes to decorate them and turned them into Christmas trees. Later, it was the German Martin Luther who placed candles on fir branches in the woods and lit them to make it look like they were leading people to Bethlehem. Today, people have switched to small pink light bulbs. The origin of the Christmas tree: It is said that a farmer received a hungry and cold child on a snowy Christmas Eve and gave him a sumptuous Christmas dinner. When the child said goodbye, he broke off a fir branch and stuck it in the ground, saying, "Every year on this day, the branch will be full of gifts. I will stay in this beautiful fir village to repay your kindness." After the child left, the farmer found that the branch had turned into a small tree. Only then did he realize that the person he had received was actually a messenger from God. This story became the origin of the Christmas tree. In the West, whether you are a Christian or not, you must prepare a Christmas tree during Christmas to add to the festive atmosphere. Christmas trees are usually made of evergreen trees such as fir and cypress, symbolizing the eternal life. The tree is decorated with various lights, colorful flowers, toys, stars, and hung with various Christmas gifts. On Christmas Eve, people sing and dance around the Christmas tree and have fun. The origin of the Christmas tree: The Christmas tree actually appeared at Christmas, first in Germany, and then spread to Europe and the United States. With its graceful posture, it became an indispensable decoration for Christmas. There are many types of Christmas trees, including natural pine and cypress Christmas trees, artificial Christmas trees and white Christmas trees. Each Christmas tree is hung with a variety of decorations, but there must be an extra-large star on the top of each tree, symbolizing that the three wise men followed the star to find Jesus, and only the head of the family can hang this star of hope. |
