12月25日原是罗马帝国规定的太阳神诞辰。有人认为选择这天庆祝圣诞，是因为基督教徒认为耶稣就是正义、永恒的太阳。

圣诞节习俗传播到亚洲主要是在十九世纪中叶，日本、韩国等都受到了圣诞文化的影响。现在西方在圣诞节常互赠礼物，举行欢宴，并以圣诞老人、圣诞树等增添节日气氛，已成为普遍习俗。圣诞节也成为西方世界以及其他很多地区的公共假日。

3、愚人节

在这一天人们以各种方式互相欺骗和捉弄，往往在玩笑的最后才揭穿并宣告捉弄对象为“愚人”。

玩笑的性质极少包含实质恶意，但个别玩笑由于开得过大而引起人们的恐慌，从而产生较大规模反响并且衍生成为（传媒）谣言和都市传说，所以对于人们来说一般会加以避免开如有关灾难之事的玩笑。

为庆祝万圣节的来临，小孩会装扮成各种可爱的鬼怪向逐家逐户地敲门，要求获得糖果，否则就会捣蛋。

在中文里，常常把万圣节前夜讹译为万圣节。

3、圣诞节

Christmas, also known as Christmas, is translated as "Christ Mass", which originated from the Lunar New Year celebration in ancient Rome and has nothing to do with Christianity.

After the popularity of Christianity in the Roman Empire, the Holy See drifted this folk festival into the Christian system to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

But it is not Jesus'birthday on Christmas Day, because the Bible does not record when Jesus was born, nor does it mention such a festival, which is the result of Christianity's absorption of ancient Roman mythology.

圣诞节又称耶诞节，译名为“基督弥撒”，它源自古罗马人迎接新年的农神节，与基督教本无关系。

在基督教盛行罗马帝国后，教廷随波逐流地将这种民俗节日纳入基督教体系，同时以庆祝耶稣的降生。

但在圣诞节这天不是耶稣的生辰，因为《圣经》未有记载耶稣具体生于哪天，同样没提到过有此种节日，是基督教吸收了古罗马神话的结果。

4、复活节

Easter is an important festival in the West. It falls on the first Sunday after the full moon in the spring equinox every year.

Christians believe that Easter symbolizes rebirth and hope in commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after he was crucified between 30 and 33 A.D.

复活节是一个西方的重要节日，在每年春分月圆之后第一个星期日。

基督徒认为，复活节象征着重生与希望，为纪念耶稣基督于公元30到33年之间被钉死在十字架之后第三天复活的日子。

5、感恩节

Thanksgiving Day, a traditional Western holiday, is a festival originally created by the American people. It is also a festival for American family reunion.

At the beginning, there was no fixed date for Thanksgiving, which was decided temporarily by the states of the United States. Until 1863, after the independence of the United States, President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday.

In 1941, the United States Congress officially designated the fourth Thursday in November as "Thanksgiving Day". Thanksgiving holidays usually last from Thursday to Sunday.

感恩节，西方传统节日，是美国人民独创的一个节日，也是美国人合家欢聚的节日。

初时感恩节没有固定日期，由美国各州临时决定。直到美国独立后的1863年，林肯总统宣布感恩节为全国性节日。

1941年，美国国会正式将每年11月第四个星期四定为“感恩节”。感恩节假期一般会从星期四持续到星期天。
