The origin of Christmas Eve

Legend has it that the origin of Christmas Eve is that on the night of Jesus' birth, shepherds herding sheep in the wilderness suddenly heard a voice from the sky telling them the news of Jesus' birth.

According to the Bible, Jesus came to the world to become the king of the world and a person that everyone believed, so angels spread the news to more people through these shepherds. So more people know that Jesus is about to be born.

Later, people imitated the angel and publicized the birth date of Jesus everywhere, so people spread the news of Jesus' birth everywhere on Christmas Eve. Until today, it has evolved into a good news activity.

And this activity has gradually passed down. So it gradually became what people call Christmas Eve, that is, Christmas Eve. Therefore, the night of 65438+February 24th is traditionally called "Christmas Eve" or "Christmas Eve".
