What festival is Christmas Eve?

Christmas Eve is a festival celebrated on February 24th in western countries, especially in Christian countries. This festival is set up to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ, and is usually closely linked with Christmas.

Christmas Eve originated in the Roman Empire in the 4th century A.D., when Pope Julius I decided to set the birthday of Jesus at 65438+February 25th, in order to conflict with the pagan religious ceremony to celebrate the resurrection of the sun. So the day before 65438+February 24th became Christmas Eve.

On Christmas Eve, Christians will go to church to attend mass, pray and sing carols to celebrate the coming of Jesus. In addition, family members get together for dinner and exchange gifts. Many places will also light candles and decorate Christmas trees to create a warm atmosphere.
