The Origin Of The Christmas

Christmas day on December 25 is the day to celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ, the founder of the Christian religion.

According to the Christian holy book, the bible, god decided that his only son, Jesus Christ, should be born into the world, to find a mother, and then live on earth, so that people could understand god better, learn to love god and love each other better. "Christmas" means "celebration of Christ," celebrating the moment when a young jewish woman, Mary, gave birth to Jesus.

The bible says that Mary was engaged to the carpenter Joseph. But before they moved in together, Joseph found that maria was pregnant. Because Joseph was a decent man and didn't want to embarrass her by talking about it, he wanted to break up with her quietly.
