Is Christmas really the birthday of Jesus? What is the true origin and origin of Christmas?
Christmas is coming, do you want to know more details about Christmas? "Heavy snow, the eleventh month. Big means abundant. At this time the snow is abundant." At this time of the year, not only is the weather the coldest, but the yin energy in the world is also the strongest. Let’s follow Mr. Shui Mo to take a look at the special topic for November of the lunar calendar in 2021.Is Christmas really the birthday of Jesus?Christmas is a holiday to celebrate the birth of Jesus, but in fact December 25th is not the real birthday of Jesus.According to the description of Jesus' birth in the Bible, there is actually no detailed record of the time of Jesus' birth. There are actually many factions in Christianity, and different factions have different times of spread. The current Christmas actually originated from the Saturnalia, which was held by the ancient Romans to welcome the New Year. It is the result of Christianity absorbing ancient Roman mythology. So Christmas was actually created by Christianity in order to promote religion and Christianize other religious festivals. What is the true origin and origin of Christmas?Christmas originated from the Saturnalia, 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. In the early 4th century, January 6th was a double festival for the churches in the eastern part of the Roman Empire to commemorate the birth and baptism of Jesus, called "Epiphany", also known as "The Feast of the Apparition", which means that God revealed himself to the world through Jesus. The only exception at that time was the church in Narulalem, which only commemorated the birth of Jesus but not his baptism. Later, historians discovered in the calendar used by Roman Christians that the page for December 25, 354 AD recorded: "Christ was born in Bethlehem of Judea." After research, it is generally believed that the celebration of Christmas on December 25 may have begun in the Roman Church in 336 AD, and spread to Antioch in Asia Minor around 375 AD, and to Alexandria in Egypt in 430 AD. The church in Jerusalem accepted it the latest, while the Armenian Church still insists that January 6, Epiphany, is the birthday of Jesus. December 25th was the birthday of Mithra, the Persian sun god (the god of light), a pagan festival. At the same time, the sun god was also one of the gods of the Roman state religion. This day is also the winter solstice in the Roman calendar. Pagans who worship the sun god regard this day as the hope of spring and the beginning of the revival of all things. For this reason, the Roman Church chose this day as Christmas. This was one of the measures taken by the early church to Christianize pagan customs. Later, although most churches accepted December 25 as Christmas, the calendars used by churches in different places were different, and the specific date could not be unified. Therefore, December 24 to January 6 of the following year was designated as the Christmas period (Christmas Tide), and churches in various places could celebrate Christmas during this period according to local conditions. Since December 25 was recognized as Christmas by most churches, the Epiphany on January 6 only commemorated the baptism of Jesus. However, the Catholic Church designated January 6 as the "Feast of the Three Kings" to commemorate the story of the three kings (the three wise men) from the East who came to worship Jesus when he was born. With the widespread spread of Christianity, Christmas has become an important festival for Christians of all denominations and even the vast number of non-Christians.
