It only came into being about a hundred years after Jesus ascended to heaven. ——It is said that the first Christmas was held in 138 AD at the initiative of St. Clement, the Bishop of Rome. According to church history, the first Christmas was in 336 AD. Since the Bible does not clearly record when Jesus was born, the date of Christmas varies from place to place. ——It was not until 440 AD that the Roman Vatican designated December 25 as Christmas. ——In 1607 AD, church leaders from all over the world gathered in Bethlehem and further confirmed it. From then on, most Christians in the world celebrate Christmas on December 25. Since the Bible records that Jesus was born at night, the night of December 24 is traditionally called "Christmas Eve" or "Silent Night." How did Christmas develop?——Celebrating the birth of Jesus: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. ——Official recognition: 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. ——The popularity of Christmas decorations: 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. ——The spread of Christmas culture: From the early to mid-nineteenth century, the whole of Europe and America began to celebrate Christmas. And the corresponding Christmas culture has evolved. ——Spread to Asia: Christmas spread to Asia in the mid-nineteenth century, and Japan, South Korea, China and other countries were all influenced by Christmas culture. ——Christmas is integrated with Chinese customs and 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. |
