Introduction to the origin of Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is on the night of February 24, 65438+ every year, that is, night, because on this night, when the Virgin Mary began to give birth to Jesus, there was a sudden roar in the sky. This voice was heard by the shepherd guarding the sheep, which was particularly magical, so he widely told everyone that Jesus was about to be born and spread with everyone.

The news that Jesus was born on February 24th, 65438 reached everyone's ears. After that, everyone thought it was an auspicious night, and now there is Christmas Eve. According to the Bible, Jesus was born into this world to become the king of this world, a believer in this world, and a God who cleanses everyone from sin.

On the night when Jesus was about to be born, because the shepherd told the news to everyone for the first time, he was considered to be possessed by an angel, and then spread the news of Jesus' birth everywhere. Since then, people will imitate shepherds and spread the news of Jesus' birth everywhere. Over time, this has become a custom activity for people to announce good news on Christmas Eve.
