Open Christmas: A History of Christmas

Every year, 65438+February 25th is the day when most Christians in the world commemorate the birth of Jesus.

There was no Christmas at the beginning of the church, and it didn't happen until about one hundred years after Jesus ascended to heaven. It is said that the first Christmas was held in A.D. 138 at the initiative of Bishop St Clemens of Rome. The first Christmas in the history of the church was in 336 AD. Because the Bible does not clearly remember 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 set 65438+ February.
