Christmas, also known as “Big Day”, is celebrated every year on 25 December as the birth anniversary of Jesus Christ. This day holds great sacred and religious significance for the followers of Christianity. This festival has become important not only religiously, but also socially and culturally. Christmas gives the message of peace, love, goodwill, and humanity.
Jesus is referred to as the “Prince of Peace” in the Bible. His message was that peace and goodwill should be adopted beyond hatred, conflict, and violence. On this day people try to imbibe these values in their lives by remembering the sacrifices and teachings of Jesus.
Quite ancient and interesting is the history of Christmas. Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem as stated by the New Testament of the Bible. They say that Mary and Joseph arrived from Nazareth for the census and therefore went to Bethlehem. This infant, Jesus, was born in the stable; they laid him in the manger.
The tradition, according to history, is stated to have started even before Jesus was born. It falls under the Roman festival that is called “Sanctualia”. In Sanctualia, the Roman Sun God was worshipped, and after the spread of the religion of Christianity, it emerged as the birthday of Jesus.
The first known Christmas celebration is in 98. The Roman Bishop declared it in 137 AD. In 350 AD, Pope Julius I declared Christmas Day to be on 25 December.
Special prayers are performed on Christmas Day in churches. Scenes depicting the birth of Jesus have been set up. Melodious church bell-ringing, candle-light illumination, and hymns composed as carols give it a spiritual flavor.
Decorating homes and churches is primarily being done. The Christmas tree gives an extra glow to the beautiful appearance of every house; it is generally constructed of artificial pine trees or other local tree’s branch portions.
Saint Nicholas” has become a synonym for Christmas. His history is connected with 280 AD in Turkey. He was one of those persons who always helped the poor people. For kids, Santa Claus is an icon who brings them the best and joy.
