圣诞节来历英文简介

christmas is a christian holiday that celebrates the birth
of jesus christ. no one knows the exact date of christ's birth,
but
most
christians
observe
christmas
on
december
25.
on
this
day,
many go to church, where they take part in special religious
services. during the christmas season, they also exchange gifts
and decorate their homes with holly, mistletoe, and christmas
trees.
the
word
christmas
es
from
cristes
maesse,
an
early
english
phrase
that
means
mass
of
christ.
the
story
of
christmas
es
chiefly
from the gospels of saint luke and saint matthew in the new
testament.
the
history
of
christmas
dates
back
over
4000
years.
many
of
our christmas traditions were celebrated centuries before the
christ
child
was
born.
the
12
days
of
christmas,
the
bright
fires,
the
yule
log,
the
giving
of
gifts,
carnivals(parades)
with
floats,
carolers who sing while going from house to house, the holiday
feasts, and the church processions can all be traced back to the

and
as
their
chief
god-marduk.
each
year
as
winter
arrived
it
was
believed that marduk would do battle with the monsters of chaos.
to
assist
marduk
in
his
struggle
the
mesopotamians
held
a
festival
for the new year. this was zagmuk, the new year's festival that
lasted for 12 days.
the persians and the babylonians celebrated a similar
festival
called
the
sacaea.
part
of
that
celebration
included
the
exchanging of places, the slaves would bee the masters and the
masters were to obey. the ancient greeks held a festival similar
to
that
of
the
zagmuk/sacaea
festivals
to
assist
their
god
kronos
who would battle the god zeus and his titans.
the roman's celebrated their god saturn. their festival was
called saturnalia which began the middle of december and ended
january
1st.
with
cries
of

saturnalia!
the
celebration
would
include masquerades in the streets, big festive meals, visiting
friends,
and
the
exchange
of
good-luck
gifts
called
strenae
(lucky
fruits). the romans decked their halls with garlands of laurel
and green trees lit with candles. again the masters and slaves
would exchange places.

but the christians thought it an abomination to honor the pagan
god. the early christians wanted to keep the birthday of their
christ
child
a
solemn
and
religious
holiday,
not
one
of
cheer
and
merriment as was the pagan saturnalia.
