An important Christian festival commemorating the birth of Jesus. 


It is also called Jesus Christmas, the Nativity Day, and the Catholic Church is also called Jesus Christmas. 

The date of Jesus' birth is not recorded in the Bible. In 336 AD, the Roman Church began to celebrate this festival on December 25. December 25 was originally the birthday of the sun god stipulated by the Roman Empire. 


people think that the reason why they choose this day to celebrate Christmas is that Christians believe that Jesus is just and eternal sun. After the middle of the 5th century, Christmas, as an important festival, became the tradition of the church and gradually spread in the Eastern and Western churches. 

Due to different calendars and other reasons, the specific dates and forms of activities held by different sects are also different. The spread of Christmas customs to Asia was mainly in the middle of the 19th century. Japan and South Korea were all affected by Christmas culture. Nowadays, it has become a common custom in the West to give gifts to each other, hold feasts, and add a festive atmosphere with Santa Claus and Christmas trees. Christmas has also become a public holiday in the western world and many other regions.
