Origin Of Christmas

  • For centuries, Christmas was observed not as a single day, but as a season in many areas of the globe, commencing on December 24, Christmas Eve.
  • Perhaps the custom of celebrating the night before the big day is a throwback to old Jewish calendars.
  • A day began at six o’clock in the evening and ended at six o’clock the next evening for early Jews. “An evening and a morning were the earliest days,” Moses had written.
  • The tradition of Christams dates back to the fourth century.
  • The pagan solstice festival in Europe was replaced, under the influence of Christian traditions.
