Christmas is of course a religious festival. It’s all about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
圣诞节无疑是一个宗教节日。它是为了庆祝耶稣的诞生。
In fact, there’s no mention of December 25th in the Bible. Early Christians couldn’t even agree on which day Jesus was actually born. It was only in the 3rd century that December 25th became the official celebration of the birth of Jesus. Most likely because it coincided with already existing Pagan festivals.
A Christmas tree can be found in most British homes throughout the month of December. In the earliest history of Scandinavia, it was traditional during the celebration of the Winter Solstice (December 21st) to bring an evergreen tree into the home and decorate it. Since the evergreen was the only type of tree that lived through the entire winter, the families saw it as a symbol of continued life.
