Christmas.

What is Christmas?

Christmas is a celebration of Jesus Christ’s birthday, held on the 25th December in the Western Church.

Christmas is a civil holiday in many of the worlds nations.

In the birth year of Jesus is estimated to most historians, to have been between 7 and 2 BC, the real month and day of his birth are unknown.

People think Christmas is on January the 6th, but most people believe it is on December the 25th.

History of Christmas.

Many of our Christmas traditions were celebrated before Jesus Christ was born.

Many of these traditions began with the

Mesopotamian celebration of New Years.

People only gave attention to Jesus when he was baptist, but when it was his birthday no one gave attention to him.

Where does the word Christmas come from?

The word ‘Christmas’ comes from Cristes maesse, an English phrase that means Mass of Christ.

Who is Jesus?

Jesus is a son of a peasant women.

He grew up in a village where he worked up in a carpenters shop until he was thirty.

After three days he became a wandering preacher.

He never wrote a book, held an office, he never owned a family or a house, he never went to college, he never visited a big city and he never travelled 200 miles away from the place where he was born.

He never had anything bad about him.

His father told him that he is a saviour because he crucified on the cross.

Jesus sacrificed himself for us.

When he was thirty-three years old, the tide of public opinion turned against him, and his friends ran away.

When he died he was laid in a borrowed grave of his pity friend.

He died on the age thirty-three.

Santa Claus

Santa Claus is known as Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas or Kris Kringle.

Santa is a fantasy figure with legendary, mythical, historical and folkloric origins who, in many western cultures, is said to bring gifts to homes for good children on the night before Christmas.
