Origin of Christmas
The name Christmas is short for 'Christ's 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 Christmas 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 orld.
The birth of Jesus had a story: In Nazareth, a city of Galilee. The virgin's
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. While he thought about these things, Gabriel, an angel
of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and told him did not be afraid to
take Mary as wife. And Mary will bring forth a Son, and he shall call his
name, Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.
Before Jesus births, Joseph and Mary came to Quintus was governing Syria.
So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went
up out of Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city
of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and of
the lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who
was with child. So it was that while they were there, the days were completed
for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped
him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no
room for them in the inn.
And that, Christmas is the feast of the nativity of Jesus, is on 25th,
December every year. But nobody know the actual birthday of Jesus. 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.
