Merry Christmas ..

Christmas, also known as Christmas Day, is translated as "Christ's Mass". It originated from the Saturnalia when the ancient Romans welcomed the New Year and has nothing to do with Christianity. After Christianity became popular in the Roman Empire, the Holy See followed the trend and incorporated this folk festival into the Christian system to celebrate the birth of Jesus. But Christmas is not the birthday of Jesus, because the Bible does not record the specific day when Jesus was born, and it also does not mention the existence of such a festival. It is the result of Christianity absorbing ancient Roman mythology.

Most Catholic churches will first hold midnight mass on Christmas Eve, December 24, that is, in the early morning of December 25, while some Christian churches will hold good news and then celebrate Christmas on December 25; One major branch, the Orthodox Church, celebrates Christmas on January 7th every year.

The origin of Christmas contains profound cultural connotations and carries a long tradition. At Christmas, people give each other gifts, express blessings, and celebrate the arrival of Christmas and New Year. People in different regions celebrate in various forms, such as holding Christmas parties, decorating Christmas trees, singing Christmas songs, etc.
