Christmas Eve 202 1 is near: I want to ask why I am so happy, but I suddenly hear a voice of unsealing. Raise a glass to welcome Christmas Eve and write a confession. I love my hometown and look for old dreams. I'm glad it rained for a long time. A friend invited me to climb the mountain, and the path was rugged and light.
Christmas Eve, also known as Christmas Eve, is Christmas Eve (65438+February 24th) and is a part of Christmas in most Christian churches.
Traditionally, many Christians will attend midnight mass or party on Christmas Eve, usually in church, marking the beginning of Christmas. Some churches will hold candlelight worship in the evening, usually with a dramatic performance of the story of the birth of Jesus and a big meal.
65438+February 25th was originally the birthday of the sun god stipulated by the Roman Empire. Some people think that this day is chosen to celebrate Christmas because Christians believe that Jesus is the just and eternal sun.
After the middle of the 5th century, Christmas, as an important festival, became a tradition of the church and gradually spread among the eastern and western churches. Due to the different calendars used, the specific dates and forms of activities held by various sects are also different.
Christmas customs mainly spread to Asia in the middle of19th century, and both Japan and South Korea were influenced by Christmas culture. Nowadays, it has become a common custom in the west to exchange gifts and hold banquets with Santa Claus and Christmas tree to add festive atmosphere. Christmas has also become a public holiday in the western world and many other regions.
