Every <strong>December 25 <\/strong>we celebrate one of the most important milestones of Christianity and according to history it seems that we have been doing so since the second century AD.<\/p>\n<p>During these dates, from the night of December 24 (Christmas Eve) to December 25 (Christmas)<strong> we celebrate and commemorate the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This day is widely<strong> celebrated by the different religious orders<\/strong> in the world such as the Catholic Church, the Anglican Church, in Protestant communities and in many Orthodox Churches in Jerusalem. Likewise, millions of people around the world, both Christian and secular, celebrate this day, a fact that reflects the importance of the birth of Jesus Christ the Savior.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Meaning_of_the_word_%E2%80%9CChristmas%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong>Meaning of the word &#8220;Christmas&#8221;.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To know the meaning of the word &#8220;Christmas&#8221; we must turn to <strong>Latin<\/strong>. Thus, the term Christmas comes from &#8220;<strong>Nativitas<\/strong>&#8221; and refers to the word &#8220;<strong>birth<\/strong>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>If we analyze the word in other languages, we can find different ways of calling this day, and although the objective is the same, the word can take on different meanings.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if we look at the <strong>English word &#8220;Christmas&#8221;, it means &#8220;Mass of Christ&#8221;<\/strong>. And <strong>in German &#8220;Weihnachten&#8221;, which corresponds to &#8220;Night of Blessing&#8221;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_origin_of_Christmas\"><\/span><strong>The origin of Christmas<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Christmas is a deeply rooted tradition in our society, but has it always been celebrated on December 25? And, what day was the first Christmas?<\/p>\n<p>Although it is complicated to answer these questions exactly, according to several studies, it is known that Jesus Christ was not born exactly on December 25. Since the first centuries A.D. there has been much debate as to the exact date of Jesus&#8217; birth.<\/p>\n<p>To understand this, we must know that at the time <strong>when Jesus was born, the most widely used calendar in many countries was the Roman calendar<\/strong>. It was not until the fall of the Roman Empire at the beginning of the 5th century that the Christian calendar began to be used.<\/p>\n<p>From this point on, there are many doubts about how these celebrations began, but one of the most widely shared is that of the<strong> Christian writer Dionysius Exiguus, in the year 525 AD.<\/strong> Through many studies of the Roman calendar, he came to the conclusion that the exact date of Jesus&#8217; birth was December 25.<\/p>\n<p>Although it is likely that we will never know the exact day of the birth of Jesus the Savior, we know that since many years ago, <strong>in the second century A.D., Christmas celebrations were already being held<\/strong>; however, they were considered pagan holidays by the Roman Empire.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Evolution_of_Christmas_parties\"><\/span><strong>Evolution of Christmas parties<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As we were saying, Christmas festivities are celebrated by millions of people around the world and over time they have evolved to the present day.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, and still today,<strong> these holidays have a very strong religious character<\/strong> where Christians commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ our Savior.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, the strength of this festivity and <strong>the deep-rooted tradition has led believers and laymen to follow these dates with great devotion.<\/strong> Although this may not seem like a problem, this fact leads us to forget the most important part of Christmas, and we submit ourselves to the maelstrom of excessive consumerism.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubibliaonline.com\/en\/\">Your Online Bible<\/a>, we remind you that it is important to celebrate these holidays <strong>NOT<\/strong> as an act of consumerism, but as an act of worship towards the birth of the Messiah.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s celebrate it with happiness, with our family and friends; but it is important not to forget the symbolism and importance of these dates for Christians.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_events_during_Christmas\"><\/span><strong>Important events during Christmas<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Christmas holidays, encompass many important events that are celebrated on very special dates and that sometimes may vary depending on the country. Let&#8217;s take a look at them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Christmas Eve &#8211; December 24: <\/strong>We celebrate the night Jesus was born.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Christmas &#8211; December 25:<\/strong> We commemorate the birth of the Messiah, the savior of the world.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Holy Innocents&#8217; Day &#8211; December 28:<\/strong> It commemorates a tragic day for Christianity, the slaughter of children under two years of age born in Judea, ordered by King Herod I to get rid of the Baby Jesus.<\/li>\n<li><strong>New Year&#8217;s Day &#8211; January 1:<\/strong> In the Catholic Church, the new year is celebrated according to the <strong>Gregorian calendar<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Epiphany &#8211; January 6:<\/strong> We celebrate the appearance of Jesus and that Jesus makes himself known to the Earth. We also commemorate the gifts that the Magi gave to Baby Jesus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although there may be more important dates related to Christmas, these are the most relevant.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_which_countries_is_Christmas_NOT_celebrated\"><\/span><strong>In which countries is Christmas NOT celebrated?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Christmas is one of the most celebrated holidays around the world, therefore, there are very few countries where this tradition is not present during these dates.<\/p>\n<p>Since it is very complicated to name all the countries that do celebrate Christmas, <strong>we will list those that do not<\/strong>. These are: <strong>Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Iran, Tajikistan, Brunei, North Korea, Somalia, China, Thailand and Israel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_we_give_each_other_gifts\"><\/span><strong>Why do we give each other gifts?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is customary to give gifts during Christmas and <strong>this is due to the tradition of remembering the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubibliaonline.com\/en\/magi-wise-men-bible\/\">Three Wise Men<\/a> who brought gifts to the Baby Jesus<\/strong>. Specifically, they brought gifts that had a very special meaning.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Incense<\/strong>. A perfume widely used in the Jewish cult that showed the population that they should adore the Baby Jesus.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gold<\/strong>. This present indicated that Jesus was and is the King of Kings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Myrrh<\/strong>. It was the sign that Jesus was going to suffer and die because of the symbolism of this perfume related to death.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, we have taken this historical fact to our days, and we give gifts to the little ones in our homes and to all our loved ones to commemorate this day.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Christmas_verses_in_the_Bible\"><\/span><strong>Christmas verses in the Bible<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before ending this article, we leave you with some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubibliaonline.com\/en\/category\/verses\/\">most outstanding verses<\/a> about Christmas in the Bible.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubibliaonline.com\/en\/7-deadly-sins-bible\/\">sins<\/a>.&#8221; <em>Matthew 1:21<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;To you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.&#8221; <em>Luke 2:11<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Glory to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubibliaonline.com\/en\/god-accurate-bible\/\">God<\/a> in the highest, and on earth peace to those who enjoy His good pleasure.&#8221; <em>Luke 2:14<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;And, while they were there, her time was fulfilled.
