Christmas is a major annual festical on December 25th, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ for Christians, and a significant cultural holiday for many others, marked by gift-giving, family gatherings, festive decorations (like trees and lights), feasting, and traditions like Santa Claus, blending Christian nativity stories with older midwinter solstice customs.
Religious Significance (Christianity)
Christians believe Jesus, the Son of God, was born to Mary in Bethlehem, fulfilling prophecy as the Messiah.
The name comes from "Christ's Mass," referring to church services where believers remember Jesus' death and resurrection.
The biblical narrative involves an angel telling Mary, Joseph taking her to Bethlehem for a census, Jesus being born in a stable, and wise men (Magi) visiting with gifts.
