Christmas

Viejito Pascuero

Christmas is one of the most important Christian holidays, along with Easter and Pentecost, as it commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ. The Catholic Church and the Protestant Church celebrate Christmas on December 25. In contrast, the Orthodox celebrated on January 7, as it did not accept the Gregorian calendar, which reformed the Julian calendar of the Roman era.

The word Christmas comes from the Latin natĂ­vitas, 'Birth'. The Anglo-Saxons used the word Christmas, which means' mass (mass) of Christ '. In some Germanic languages, such as German, the festival is called Weihnacht, which means' night of blessing '. Christmas aims to inculcate values to children through the child Jesus, "or" PapĂ  Claus "

The origins of Christmas are located at the dawn of humanity, which continued on to the Winter Solstice since December 21, which have always had a particular significance in worship of the gods of the sun. Some cultures believed that the sun god was born on December 21, the shortest day of the year, and that the days were longer as the god was oldest. In other cultures it was believed that the sun god died that day, only to return to another cycle.
