Christmas

Beginning
Long ago, Virgin Mary gave birth to her baby on December 25, between the 6 and 4 BC. She named her baby, Jesus, as the angel messenger told her to name him this. Jesus grew up in the city of Nazareth, where he spent time in churches. When he grew up, he was baptized by John the Baptist, in the River Rodan. He was claimed by God, and was called, “The Son Of God”.
Christmas Origin
Christmas was first made for the remembrance of Jesus Christ. The name “Christ-mas” came from Jesus’s name, “Christ”. It is well known for the Christians to remember how He died for them, and then came alive once more.
Why Presents on Christmas?
Presents were symbolic to the Christians, as in the bible; It reminds us how The Three Wise Men gave 3 presents to Jesus, one each.
Why do we have Christmas Trees?
The Christmas tree started as a Pagan tradition to symbolize life during a dark time. Romans actually used to decorate trees around the New Year. Although they started as a winterrime tradition, in the 1500's. trees started to become more and more associated with Christmas, likely because they were being used and decorated in biblical displays and plays. Eventually churches started putting them up with candles on them. This lead to the modern day version- trees in our homes with colored bulbs- a bit safer than a lit candle!
