How did Christmas Eve and Carnival Night come about?
Christmas Eve is also called Christmas Eve. That night, the whole family gathered in the living room to sing Christmas songs around the Christmas tree, give gifts to each other, share the joys and sorrows of a year's life, and express their blessings and love. In the evening, we will see a group of lovely boys or girls, singing poems one after another to bring good news.
Later, people followed the example of angels and spread the news of the birth of Jesus everywhere on Christmas Eve. Until today, good news has become an indispensable program for Christmas.
The origin of Christmas:
It is said that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was born of the Virgin Mary. God sent the angel Gabriel to tell Yue Se in a dream, told Yue Se not to want Maria because she was unmarried and pregnant, but to marry her, and named the child "Jesus", which means asking Jesus to save people from sin.
When Maria was about to give birth, the Roman government ordered everyone to declare the household registration in Bethlehem. Yue Se and Maria must obey. When they arrived in Bethlehem, it was already dark, but they couldn't find a hotel and had to live in a stable. At that moment, Jesus was born, so Mary gave birth to Jesus only in the manger.
In order to commemorate the birth of Jesus, later generations designated1February 25th as Christmas, and held mass every year to commemorate the birth of Jesus.
The origin of carnival night:
Carnival night is 65438+ on February 25th every year, which is the day when Christians commemorate the birth of Jesus, also known as Christmas, so it has the same origin as Christmas.
