Christmas introduction

Christianity is an important festival to commemorate the birth of Jesus, also known as Christmas, the birthday of Jesus, and Catholicism is also known as Christmas. The date of birth of Jesus is not recorded in the Bible.

In 336 AD, the Roman Church began to celebrate this festival on 65438+February 25th. 65438+February 25th was originally the birthday of the sun god stipulated by the Roman Empire. Some people think that this day is chosen to celebrate Christmas because Christians believe that Jesus is the just and eternal sun.

After the middle of the 5th century, Christmas, as an important festival, became a tradition of the church and gradually spread among the eastern and western churches.
