There was no Christmas at the beginning of the church, it only happened about 100 years after Jesus ascended to heaven. It is said that the first Christmas was held in A.D. 138 at the initiative of St. clemons, the Bishop of Rome. The first Christmas in the history of the church was in 336 AD. Because the Bible does not clearly record the time when Jesus was born, the date of Christmas varies from place to place.

It was not until 440 AD that the Holy See designated 65438+February 25th as Christmas. In A.D. 1607, church leaders from all over the world gathered in Bethlehem to further confirm this point. Since then, most Christians in the world have regarded 65438+February 25th as Christmas.

In fact, it doesn't matter which day it is, but it is important to know that it is to commemorate the birth of the savior Jesus. Because the Bible records that Jesus was born at night, the night of 65438+February 24th is traditionally called "Silent Night" or "Silent Night".
