Are Christmas Eve and Christmas the same day? What’s the difference? Should we give snake fruit or apples as gifts on Christmas Eve?
Introduction: Christmas Eve is an important traditional Western festival, and many people easily confuse Christmas Eve with Christmas. So are Christmas Eve and Christmas the same day? What is the difference? Should we give snake fruit or apples on Christmas Eve? The eleventh month of the lunar calendar is the winter month, which has other names such as winter month, lucky month, smooth month, and mid-winter. Let’s follow Shuimoxiansheng.com to take a look at the relevant content of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar in 2018.Are Christmas Eve and Christmas the same day? What’s the difference?Judging from the origin of Christmas, Christmas is on December 25th every year, the day Jesus was born. It is equivalent to the first day of our Chinese New Year, and this year's Christmas is Sunday, December 25, 2016. Christmas Eve is the night before December 25th every year, the night when Jesus was born, which is equivalent to our Chinese New Year’s Eve. Legend has it that the shepherds who were watching their sheep suddenly heard a voice from heaven telling them the good news of Jesus' birth. Then that night became known as Christmas Eve, or of course, Christmas Eve.Should we give a snake or an apple on Christmas Eve?Apples and snakes can be given as gifts on Christmas Eve. The “ping” in “apple” has the same pronunciation as the “ping” in “peace”, so the Chinese people attach the auspicious meaning of “peace” to apples, and thus the custom of giving apples on Christmas Eve came into being. Giving apples represents the sender’s blessing to the receiver for a safe and peaceful new year. Giving apples or snake fruits on Christmas Eve has the same meaning, which is to hope that the person receiving the gift will be safe and sound. It’s just that the snake apple is bigger and brighter in appearance than ordinary apples. In layman’s terms, it is “good-looking”. In fact, it also belongs to the type of apple, just a different variety. Giving apples expresses a thought. There is no saying that giving a snake fruit on Christmas Eve is better than giving apples, so you can be more casual. |
