People get to meet their family, eat good food, and celebrate with their loved ones by keeping all their worries aside and the weather is great.

People everywhere are in their top Christmas spirits and love to celebrate Christmas history. Everything begins to look a lot like Christmas at this time of the year. And Christmas day 2021 had the same feeling calling everyone out. Well, there was some confusion about Christmas day 2021. Let’s decode it.
Origin Of Christmas
On December 25 of every year, Christmas is celebrated by Christians to commemorate the birth of Jesus. Christmas history has its biblical (containing in Bible or relating to Bible) origins. Still, societies have celebrated life and birth in the darkest days of winters, centuries before Jesus walked the Earth. In the Scandinavian and Central European countries, people celebrate winter, called Yule, around December 21. It is the longest night and the shortest day of the year, and the Earth’s elevation in the sky gets to its lowest. Ancient Romans had their winter festival. A week before the solstice(the shortest day of the year and the Earth’s elevation in the sky gets to its lowest), Romans celebrated Saturnalia to honor the god of Saturn(the god of Agriculture). By the first century AD, pagan traditions were challenged by Christians as Christianity was rising throughout the empire. An interesting fact about the birth of Jesus Christ is that the Bible does not disclose the exact date for the birth of Jesus Christ. As the Ancient Roman Soldiers and government officials celebrated the birth of Mithra even before the birth of Jesus Christ, the Church adopted the date as the birth of the Christ child. In the 4th century, the Church made it official that December 25 would be celebrated as the feast day of the Christ child. The Church knew they could not outlaw the traditions of the pagans. Hence, they adopted the traditions celebrated during Mithra like evergreens were brought indoors decorated with apples symbolizing Eve. These apples are now replaced with Christmas ornaments, and this is the Christmas history.
