圣诞节由来——中英文版

“圣诞节”这个名称是“***弥撒”的缩写。弥撒是教会的一 种礼拜仪式。
耶诞节是一个宗节我们把它当作耶苏的诞辰来庆祝，因而又名耶诞
节。这一天，世 界所有的***教会都举行特别的礼拜仪式。但是有很
多圣诞节的欢庆活动和宗教并无半点关联。交换礼 物，寄圣诞卡，
这都使圣诞节成为一个普天同庆的日子。

圣诞节是***教世界 最大的节日。4世纪初，1月6日是罗马帝国东
部各教会纪念那稣降生和受洗的双重节日、称为“主显节 ”epiphany，
亦称“显现节”即上帝通过那稣向世人显示自己。当时只有那路拉冷
的教 会例外，那里只纪念耶稣的诞生而不纪念那稣的受洗。后来历
史学家们在罗马***徒习用的日历中发现 公元354年12月25日页内
记录着：“***降生在犹大的伯利恒。”经过研究，一般认为12月2 5
日伴为圣诞节可能开始于公元336年的罗马教会）约在公元375年
传到小亚细亚的安提阿 ，公元430年传到埃及的亚历山大里亚，那
路撒冷的教会接受得最晚，而亚美尼亚的教会则仍然坚持1 月6日
主显节是那稣的诞辰。

12月25日原来是波斯太阳神（即光明之神）密特 拉（mithra）的
诞辰，是一个异教徒节日，同时太阳神也是罗马国教众神之一。这
一天又 是罗马历书的冬至节，崇拜太阳神的异教徒都把这一天当作
春天的希望，万物复苏的开始。可能由于这个 原因，罗马教会才选
择这一天作为圣诞节。这是教会初期力图把异教徒的风俗习惯***教
化的 措施之一。

后来，虽然大多数教会都接受12月25日为圣诞节，但又固各地教
会使用的历书不同，具体日期不能统一，于是就把12月24日到第
二年的1月6日定为圣诞节节期（c hristmas tide），各地教会可
以根据当地具体情况在这段节期之内庆祝圣诞节。自从1 2月25日
被大多数教会公认为圣诞节后，原来1月6日的主显节就只纪念耶
稣受洗了，但天主 教会又把1月6日定为“三王来朝节”，以纪念耶
稣生时东方三王（即三位博士）来朝拜的故事。随着* **教的广泛传
播，圣诞节已成为各教派***徒，甚至广大非***徒群众的一个重要节
日。 在欧美许多国家里，人们非常重视这个节日，把它和新年连在
一起，而庆祝活动之热闹与隆重大大超过了 新年，成为一个全民的
节日。12月25日的主要纪念活动都与那稣降生的传说有

关。

耶苏的出生是有一段故事的，耶苏是因着圣灵成孕，由童女马利亚
所生的。神更派遣使者加伯列在梦中晓谕约瑟，叫他不要因为马利
亚未婚怀孕而不要她，反而要与她成亲 ，把那孩子起名为“耶苏”，
意思是要他把百姓从罪恶中救出来。

当马利亚快要 临盆的时候，罗马政府下了命令，全部人民到伯利恒
务必申报户籍。约瑟和马利亚只好遵命。他们到达伯 利恒时，天色
已昏，无奈两人未能找到旅馆渡宿，只有一个马棚可以暂住。就在
这时，耶苏要出 生了！於是马利亚唯有在马槽上，生下耶苏。后人
为纪念耶苏的诞生，便定十二月二十五为圣诞节，年年 望弥撒，纪
念耶苏的出世。

圣诞节便是於十二月二十五日纪念耶苏的诞生，但真 实的诞生日就
没有人知道了。十九世纪，圣诞卡的流行、圣诞老人的出现，圣诞
节也开始流行起 来了。

圣诞节的来历（中英文版）

christmas is a christian holiday that celebrates the birth of
jesus christ. no one knows the exact date of christs birth, but
most christians observe christmas on december 25. on this
day, many go to church, where they take part in special
religious services. during the christmas season, they also
exchange gifts and decorate their homes with holly, mistletoe,
and christmas trees. the word christmas comes from cristes
maesse, an early english phrase that means mass of christ. the
story of christmas comes chiefly from the gospels of saint luke
and saint matthew in the new testament.

the history of christmas dates back over 4000 years. many of
our christmas traditions were celebrated centuries before the
christ child was born. the 12 days of christmas, the bright fires,
the yule log, the giving of gifts, carnivals(parades) with floats,
carolers who sing while going from house to house, the
holiday feasts, and the church processions can all be traced
back to the early mesopotamians.

many of these traditions began with the mesopotamian
celebration of new years. the mesopotamians believed in many
gods, and as their chief god- marduk. each year as winter
arrived it was believed that marduk would do battle with the
monsters of chaos. to assist marduk in his struggle the
mesopotamians held a festival for the new year. this was
zagmuk, the new years festival that lasted for 12 days.

the persians and the babylonians celebrated a similar festival
called the sacaea. part of that celebration included the
exchanging of places, the slaves would become the masters
and the masters were to obey. the ancient greeks held a
festival similar to that of the zagmuksacaea festivals to assist
their god kronos who would battle the god zeus and his titans.

the romans celebrated their god saturn. their festival was
called saturnalia which began the middle of december and
ended january 1st. with cries of jo saturnalia! the celebration
would include masquerades in the streets, big festive meals,
visiting friends, and the exchange of good-luck gifts called
strenae (lucky fruits). the romans decked their halls with
garlands of laurel and green trees lit with candles. again the
masters and slaves would exchange places.

jo saturnalia! was a fun and festive time for the romans, but
the christians thought it an abomination to honor the pagan
god. the early christians wanted to keep the birthday of their
christ child a solemn and religious holiday, not one of cheer
and merriment as was the pagan saturnalia.

some legends claim that the christian christmas celebration
was invented to compete against the pagan celebrations of
december. the 25th was not only sacred to the romans but also
the persians whose religion mithraism was one of christianitys
main rivals at that time. the church eventually was successful
in taking the merriment, lights, and gifts from the saturanilia
festival and bringing them to the celebration of christmas.

the exact day of the christ childs birth has never been
pinpointed. traditions say that it has been celebrated since the
year 98 ad. in 137 ad the bishop of rome ordered the birthday
of the christ child celebrated as a solemn feast. in 350 ad
another bishop of rome, julius i, choose december 25th as the
observance of christmas.

the birth of jesus had a story: in nazareth, a city of galilee. the
virgins name was mary was betrothed to joseph. before they
came together, she was found with child of the holy spirit.
joseph her husband was minded to put her away secretly.
while he thought about these things, gabriel, an angel of the
lord appeared to him in a dream and told him did not be afraid
to take mary as wife. and mary will bring forth a son, and he
shall call his name, jesus, for he will save his people from their
sins.

before jesus births, joseph and mary came to quirnius was
governing syria. so all went to be registered, everyone to his
own city. joseph also went up out of galilee, out of the city of
nazareth, into judea, to the city of david, which is called
bethlehem, because he was of the house and of the lineage of
david, to be registered with mary, his betrothed wife, who was
with child. so it was that while they were there, the days were
completed for her to be delivered. and she brought forth her
firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid
him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the
inn.

and that, christmas is the feast of the nativity of jesus, is on
25th, december every year. but nobody knows the actual
birthday of jesus. and the christmas has become popular when
christmas cards appeared in 1846 and the concept of a jolly
santa claus was first made popular in nineteenth century.

the custom of giving gifts to relatives and friends on a special
day in winter probably began in ancient rome and northern
europe. in these regions, people gave each other small
presents as part of their year-end celebrations.

in the 1800s, two more christmas customs became popular--
decorating christmas trees and sending christmas cards to
relatives and friends. many well-known christmas carols,
including ``silent night and ``hark! the herald angels sing, were
composed during this period. in the united states and other
countries, santa claus replaced saint nicholas as the symbol of
gift giving.

the word xmas is sometimes used instead of christmas. this
tradition began in the early christian church. in greek, x is the
first letter of christs name. it was frequently used as a holy
symbol.
