Christmas, annual Christian holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ. Most members of the Roman Catholic Church and followers of Protestantism celebrate Christmas on December 25, and many celebrate on the evening of December 24 as well. Members of the Eastern Orthodox Church usually delay their most important seasonal ceremonies until January 6, when they celebrate Epiphany, a commemoration of the baptism of Jesus. Epiphany also traditionally commemorates the arrival of the Three Wise Men of the East in Bethlehem (near Jerusalem, Israel), where they adored the infant Jesus and Psented him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The official Christmas season, popularly known as either Christmastide or the Twelve Days of Christmas, extends from the anniversary of Christ’s birth on December 25 to the feast of Epiphany on January 6.
Christmas is based on the story of Jesus’ birth as described in the Gospel according to Matthew (see Matthew 1:18-2:12) and the Gospel according to Luke (see Luke 1:26-56). Roman Catholics first celebrated Christmas, then known as the Feast of the Nativity, as early as 336 ad. The word Christmas entered the English language sometime around 1050 as the Old English phrase Christes maesse, meaning “festival of Christ.” Scholars believe the frequently used shortened form of Christmas—Xmas—may have come into use in the 13th century. The X stands for the Greek letter chi, an abbreviation of Khristos (Christ), and also rePsents the cross on which Jesus was crucified.
英語(yǔ)介紹圣誕節(jié)
Christmas is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. No one knows the exact date of Christ´s 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 Year´s 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 Zagmuk/Sacaea festivals to assist their god Kronos who would battle the god Zeus and his Titans.
The Roman´s 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 Christianity´s 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 child´s 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 virgin´s 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 Psents as part of their year-end celebrations.
In the 1800´s, 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 Christ´s name. It was frequently used as a holy symbol.
“圣誕節(jié)”這個(gè)名稱(chēng)是“基督彌撒”的縮寫(xiě)。彌撒是教會(huì)的一種禮拜儀式。耶誕節(jié)是一個(gè)宗教節(jié)。我們把它當(dāng)作耶穌的誕辰來(lái)慶祝，因而又名耶誕節(jié)。這一天，世界所有的基督教會(huì)都舉行特別的禮拜儀式。但是有很多圣誕節(jié)的歡慶活動(dòng)和宗教并無(wú)半點(diǎn)關(guān)聯(lián)。交換禮物，寄圣誕卡，這都使圣誕節(jié)成為一個(gè)普天同慶的日子。
圣誕節(jié)是基督教世界最大的節(jié)日。4世紀(jì)初，1月6日是羅馬帝國(guó)東部各教會(huì)紀(jì)念耶穌降生和受洗的雙重節(jié)日、稱(chēng)為“主顯節(jié)”Epiphany，亦稱(chēng)“顯現(xiàn)節(jié)”即上帝通過(guò)耶穌向世人顯示自己。當(dāng)時(shí)只有耶路撒冷的教會(huì)例外，那里只紀(jì)念耶穌的誕生而不紀(jì)念耶穌的受洗。
后來(lái)歷史學(xué)家們?cè)诹_馬基督徒習(xí)用的日歷中發(fā)現(xiàn)公元 354年12月25日頁(yè)內(nèi)記錄著：“基督降生在猶大的伯利恒。”經(jīng)過(guò)研究，一般認(rèn)為12月25日作為圣誕節(jié)可能開(kāi)始于公元336年的羅馬教會(huì)。12月25日原來(lái)是波斯太陽(yáng)神(即光明之神)密特拉(Mithra)的誕辰，是一個(gè)異教徒節(jié)日，同時(shí)太陽(yáng)神也是羅馬國(guó)教眾神之一。這一天又是羅馬歷書(shū)的冬至節(jié)，崇拜太陽(yáng)神的異教徒都把這一天當(dāng)作春天的希望，萬(wàn)物復(fù)蘇的開(kāi)始�？赡苡捎谶@個(gè)原因，羅馬教會(huì)才選擇這一天作為圣誕節(jié)。這是教會(huì)初期力圖把異教徒的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣基督教化的措施之一。后來(lái)，雖然大多數(shù)教會(huì)都接受12月25日為圣誕節(jié)，但又因?yàn)楦鞯亟虝?huì)使用的歷書(shū)不同，具體日期不能統(tǒng)一，于是就把12月24日到第二年的1月6日定為圣誕節(jié)節(jié)期(Christmas Tide)，各地教會(huì)可以根據(jù)當(dāng)?shù)鼐唧w情況在這段節(jié)期之內(nèi)慶祝圣誕節(jié)。
隨著基督教的廣泛傳播，圣誕節(jié)已成為各教派基督徒，甚至廣大非基督徒群眾的一個(gè)重要節(jié)日。在歐美許多國(guó)家里，人們非常重視這個(gè)節(jié)日，把它和新年連在一起，而慶�；顒�(dòng)之熱鬧與隆重大大超過(guò)了新年，成為一個(gè)全民的節(jié)日。
12月25日的主要紀(jì)念活動(dòng)都與耶穌降生的傳說(shuō)有關(guān)。耶穌的出生是有一段故事的，耶穌是因著圣靈成孕，由童女馬利亞所生的。神更派遣使者加伯列在夢(mèng)中曉諭約瑟，叫他不要因?yàn)轳R利亞未婚懷孕而不要她，反而要與她成親，把那孩子起名為“耶穌”，意思是要他把百姓從罪惡中救出來(lái)。當(dāng)馬利亞快要臨盆的時(shí)候，羅馬政府下了命令，全部人民到伯利恒務(wù)必申報(bào)戶(hù)籍。約瑟和馬利亞只好遵命。他們到達(dá)伯利恒時(shí)，天色已昏，無(wú)奈兩人未能找到旅館借宿，只有一個(gè)馬棚可以暫住。就在這時(shí)，耶穌要出生了!於是馬利亞唯有在馬槽上，生下耶穌。
后人為紀(jì)念耶穌的誕生，便把十二月二十五日定為圣誕節(jié)，紀(jì)念耶穌的出世。但真實(shí)的誕生日就沒(méi)有人知道了。十九世紀(jì)，圣誕卡的流行、圣誕老人的出現(xiàn)，圣誕節(jié)也開(kāi)始流行起來(lái)了。
關(guān)于圣誕節(jié)英語(yǔ)資料: I like christmas
I like christmas because on Christmas morning! Children like to wake up early while it's still dark and sneak into the living room to check the Psents----find any with their name on it, shake them to guess what's inside, and then maybe they'll go back to bed and Ptend they are still asleep when their parents come to wake them with a "Merry Christmas!" But almost no one I know gets completely dressed or eats a regular breakfast first thing Christmas morning. They just put on a robe or wear their pajamas and go to see what's under the Christmas tree. Some Christian families have a tradition of reading the Bible story of Jesus' birth. Maybe it's to remind the children that Christmas is Jesus' birthday. Someone will begin to take the Psents out from under the tree, see whose name is on the package, and then pass them around. Some families wait until all the Psents have been given out before opening any of them, while others open each one as it comes to them. There are many "thank you" to the ones who gave the gifts, new clothes are tried on to see if they fit, and of course the most interesting toys will immediately be played with. Usually among the Christmas gifts will be some especially delicious candy or cake or cookies which everyone tastes. These sweet things may be the only breakfast many people eat Christmas morning. After the gifts have been opened, the room will be tidied up except where the children are playing with their toys. Everyone will wash and get dressed for the day. Some people may go to a Christmas morning church service around ten o'clock if their church didn't have one on Christmas Eve. But most people will just watch TV. Well, most men will. The children may play outside or inside with their new toys, but the mothers will be in the kitchen Pparing Christmas Dinner.
圣誕節(jié)英文資料:Christmas
Christmas is a Christian holiday held on December 25 which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Eastern Orthodox Churches, which use the Julian Calendar to determine feast days, celebrate on January 7 by the Gregorian Calendar. Both dates are merely traditional and neither is thought to be the actual birthdate of Jesus. Christ's birth, or nativity, is said to fulfill Old Testament prophecies concerning the coming of a messiah, or savior.The word Christmas is derived Middle English Christemasse and from Old English Cristes mæsse.[1] It is a contraction meaning "Christ's mass". The name of the holiday is often shortened to Xmas because Roman letter "X" resembles the Greek letter Χ (chi), an abbreviation for Christ (Χριστ
