On this day, all Christian churches in the world hold special ceremonies. But many Christmas celebrations have nothing to do with religion. Exchanging gifts and sending Christmas cards make Christmas a day of universal celebration.
There is a story about the birth of Jesus. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. God even sent an angel to Yue Se in his dream, telling him not to abandon Maria just because she was unmarried and pregnant, but to marry her and name the child "Jesus", which means to save people from sin.
When Maria was about to give birth, the Roman government issued an order that everyone must declare their household registration when they came to Bethlehem. Yue Se and Mary had to obey.
When they arrived in Bethlehem, it was already dark, but they couldn't find a hotel for the night, only a stable could stay. Just then, Jesus was born! So Mary only gave birth to Jesus in a manger.

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 designated 65438+February 25th as Christmas. In A.D. 1607, church leaders from all over the world gathered in Bethlehem, which further confirmed this point.

65438+February 25th Christmas celebrates the birthday of the founder of Christianity, Jesus Christ, which is the largest and most popular festival in western countries.
According to the Bible, the holy book of Christians, God decided to let his only son Jesus Christ be born on the earth, find his mother, and then live on the earth, so that people can better understand God, learn to love God and love each other better. "Christmas" means "celebrating Christ", celebrating the moment when a young Jewish woman, Maria, gave birth to Jesus.
According to the Bible, Maria was engaged to Joseph, a carpenter. However, before they moved in together, Joseph found out that Maria was pregnant. Joseph wants to break up with her quietly, because he is a decent man and doesn't want to tell her about it and embarrass her. While he was thinking about it, the angel of God appeared in his dream and said to him, "Stop whispering and marry Maria home. The child she conceived came from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a boy, and you will name him Jesus, because he will save people from sin. "
Although the exact birthday of Jesus is not clear, about 2000 years ago, the calendar divides the time into BC (before the birth of Jesus Christ) and AD. In the first 300 years after AD, Jesus' birthday was celebrated on different days. Finally, in 354 AD, church leaders designated 65438+February 25th as the birthday of Jesus Christ.
The content of Christmas manuscripts for primary school students is brief (3) The legend of Santa Claus appeared in Scandinavia thousands of years ago. In Norse mythology, Odin, the god of wisdom, art, poetry and war, rode his eight-legged horse around the ends of the earth in winter to punish evil and promote good and distribute gifts. At the same time, his son Thor, dressed in red, used lightning as a weapon to fight the god of ice and snow in the dark and finally defeated the cold. According to pagan legend, Santa Claus is a descendant of Odin. There is also a legend that Santa Claus comes from Saint Nicholas, so Santa Claus is also called horace. Because most of these stories promote the Christian spirit, their origins and story plots are mostly forgotten, but Santa Claus lives in people's spiritual world forever. Every Christmas, Santa Claus rides on Aries, and the holy boy comes to the world with a Christmas tree. With the change of the world, writers and artists began to describe Santa Claus as a familiar image today, dressed in red and with a white beard. At the same time, different countries and cultures have different interpretations of Santa Claus. In Germany, it is said that he dressed up as a holy boy and put nuts and apples in children's shoes. He travels around in a two-wheeled carriage, observing people's behavior, especially children. If he behaves well, he will get many prizes, such as apples, nuts and sugar. Bad boys get whipped. Parents had a brainwave and used this legend to encourage their children to obey. It has greatly surpassed the New Year and become a national holiday. Santa Claus has become the most popular symbol and tradition of Christmas. The image of a happy old elf driving a reindeer and pulling a sleigh full of toys and gifts to give gifts to every child from house to house has been deeply left in people's memory.
165438+At the end of the 20th century, Italian religious soldiers brought the relics of Saint Nicholas back to Italy and built a church in the port city of Bari to commemorate him. Soon, Christians from all over the world flocked to worship the saint. These pilgrims brought the story of saint nicholas back to their homeland, so the legend about Santa Claus has its own characteristics in different countries.
