Some legends claim that the Christian Christmas celebration was invented to compete against the pagan celebrations of December. The 25th was not only sacred to the Romans but also the Persians whose religion Mithrais

36、m was one of Christianitys main rivals at that time. The Church eventually was successful in taking the merriment, lights, and gifts from the Saturanilia festival and bringing them to the celebration of Christmas. The exact day of the Christ childs birth has never been pinpointed. Traditions say tha

37、t it has been celebrated since the year 98 AD. In 137 AD the Bishop of Rome ordered the birthday of the Christ Child celebrated as a solemn feast.

38、alilee. The virgins name was Mary was betrothed to Joseph. Before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband was minded to put her away secretly.

42、esus. And the Christmas has become popular when Christmas cards appeared in 1846 and the concept of a jolly Santa Claus was first made popular in nineteenth Century. The custom of giving gifts to relatives and friends on a special day in winter probably began in ancient Rome and northern Europe. In

In the 1800s, two more Christmas customs became popular-decorating Christmas trees and sending Christmas cards to relatives and friends. Many well-known Christmas carols, including Silent Night and Hark! The

44、 Herald Angels Sing, were composed during this period. In the United States and other countries, Santa Claus replaced Saint Nicholas as the symbol of gift giving. The word Xmas is sometimes used instead of Christmas. This tradition began in the early Christian church. In Greek, X is the first letter

45、 of Christs name. It was frequently used as a holy symbol. “圣诞节”这个名称是“基督弥撒”的缩写。弥撒是教会的一种礼拜仪式。耶诞节是一个宗教节。我们把它当作耶稣的诞辰来庆祝，因而又名耶诞节。这一天，世界全部的基督的教会都实行特殊的礼拜仪式。但是有许多圣诞节的庆祝活动和宗教并无半点关联。交换礼物，寄圣诞卡，这都使圣诞节成为一个普天同庆的日子。 圣诞节是基督世界最大的节日。4世纪初，1月6日是罗马帝国东部各教会纪念耶稣降生和受洗的双重节日、称为“主显节”Epiphany，亦称“显现节”即上帝通过耶稣向世人显示自己。当时只有耶路撒冷的教会例

46、外，那里只纪念耶稣的诞生而不纪念耶稣的受洗。 后来历史学家们在罗马基督习用的日历中发觉公元354年12月25日页内记录着：“基督降生在犹大的伯利恒。”经过探讨，一般认为12月25日作为圣诞节可能起先于公元336年的罗马教会。12月25日原来是波斯太阳神(即光明之神)密特拉(Mithra)的诞辰，是一个异教徒节日，同时太阳神也是罗马国教众神之一。这一天又是罗马历书的冬至节，崇拜太阳神的异教徒都把这一天当作春天的希望，万物复苏的起先。可能由于这个缘由，罗马教会才选择这一天作为圣诞节。这是教会初期力图把异教徒的风俗习惯基督化的措施之一。后来，虽然大多数教会都接受12月25日为圣诞节，但又因为各地教会

47、运用的历书不同，详细日期不能统一，于是就把12月24日到其次年的1月6日定为圣诞节节期(Christmas Tide)，各地教会可以依据当地详细状况在这段节期之内庆祝圣诞节。 平安夜和圣诞节的由来英语作文5 the name christmas is short for christs mass. a mass is a kind of church service. christmas is a religious festival. it is the day we celebrate as the birthday of jesus. there are special christma

48、s services in christian churches all over the world. but many of the festivities of christmas do not have anything to do with religion. exchanging gifts and sending christmas cards are the modern ways of celebrating the christmas in the world. the birth of jesus had a story: in nazareth, a city of g
