Story Behind Christmas
Exchanging gifts, decorating Christmas trees, going to church, sharing meals with family and friends, and, of course, waiting for Santa Claus to arrive are all popular Christmas traditions. Since 1870, the 25th of December has been recognized as a federal holiday in the United States.
Winter solstice has long been a time of worldwide celebration. Early Europeans celebrated light and birth in the darkest days of winter, centuries before the arrival of a man named Jesus. During the winter solstice, many people rejoiced that the worst of the winter had passed them by and that they could look forward to longer days and longer hours of sunlight.
The early Christian community made a distinction between determining the date of Jesus’ birth and celebrating it liturgically. The actual commemoration of Jesus’ birth took a long time to arrive. During the first two centuries of Christianity, there was strong opposition to commemorating martyrs’ or, for that matter, Jesus’ birthdays. Several Church Fathers made sarcastic remarks about the pagan custom of celebrating birthdays when, according to the church, saints and martyrs should be honored on the days of their martyrdom, which are their true “birthdays.”
Christian writers frequently made the connection between the rebirth of the sun and the birth of the Son after December 25 became widely accepted as the date of Jesus’ birth. One problem with this viewpoint is that it implies a casual willingness on the part of the Christian church to appropriate a pagan festival when the early church was so adamant about categorically separating itself from pagan beliefs and practices.
Today, most Christians observe Christmas on December 25 in the Gregorian calendar, which is widely accepted in common calendars around the world. Regardless, some Eastern Christian Churches celebrate this festival on December 25 of the more established Julian calendar, which corresponds to January 7 in the Gregorian calendar right now. This isn’t a disagreement about the date of Christmas, per se, but rather a preference for which schedule should be used to determine the date of December 25
