The day on which the year is centered around the strong interest and enthusiasm of the people around the world, the day is December 25 or Christmas.
In celebrating the miraculous birth of Christ Jesus Christ and the unique meaning of his coming to the earth, Christendom celebrates the religious and social dignity of the world Christmas Day. Since Christmas is the main religious festival of Christ, religious significance of this day is very important to them. So interest in the Christmas festival is not limited to just the followers of Christ.
On December 25, there is no scope to prove that Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day. Because, in the Holy Bible, Mark and Luke, there is no clear direction about exactly when his birthdate is mentioned in the gospel or the birth of Jesus Christ in the Good News. How did the world appear as a celebration of the Christmas celebration on December 25, it is natural to raise the question.
We must go to find the roots of celebrating the Christmas festival long before the birth of Christ, in the early days of human civilization. In those early times, the people of the whole of the northern hemisphere observed the 'Tushti festival' to adversate, faded winter. From the present Eastern Europe to the Scandinavian region in the north, the festival was celebrated through ceremonies, fire vaults, animal sacrifices, etc. In the pre-modern Europe, the festival was celebrated in late December. Many livestock were sacrificed because it was not possible to survive in the coming winter, and after fermentation for the year, it was useful to drink alcohol and beer.

As a result, there was an abundance of meat, drinks and food at the time of the festival. All classes of people participated in the festival spontaneously. At the time of the Roman Empire, the biggest festivals in Europe were festivals of Roman goddess, Saturn's honor. This festival began in the middle of winter, near the tropical festival, on December 25th. During this festival, all businesses and government programs of the Roman Empire were closed.
Socially rich-poor intervals were removed. From the people of the poor and begging classes, soldiers or rulers - all celebrated the festival together. However, the interesting fact is that the followers of Christ of that time rejected this festival as a religious festival. And since they were not sure about the day of Jesus 'birth, they celebrated Christmas near the time of Jesus' resurrection.
After that, different groups were held on January 6, 10; April 19, 20; May 20; On 18 November, the days of Christmas celebrations are proposed as a day of celebration. But these days, these days have become controversial. Since that day everyone recognized the spring equinox, March 25 as a great day. The followers of Christ faith believed that the earth was created on 25 March and Jesus was crucified. Christian priests, however, believed in the Old Testament rules that all of the survivors survived for the full year, that is, they died after their birth. Because, God does not like incompetence or fractions. To make this belief of the pastors a reality, on March 25, the day was fixed as the great day on which God's glorious Gospel Mary came to Mary or Mary with the divine message that God will be pregnant with God's will and miraculous power and conceive in God's Son. . On December 25, the date of arrival of Jesus Christ to the world of Mary, which is 9 months after the pregnancy day.
However, by the year 336, instructions were issued to celebrate Christmas Day on December 25 in the Roman calendar. Meanwhile, Christianity has become the state religion of Rome and started getting patronage of the Romans. The Christmas festival is also influenced by the Romance pagan religion.
Although the celebration of the Christmas festival is celebrated through the many splendid styles and charming children of Jesus Christ, the popular custom of Paganism, which was preceded by the Roman Empire, has also been adopted in the Christian faith through the Christmas festival.
In the Middle Ages, the Christmas festival started to get more and more. The followers of European Christianity began to celebrate Christmas with the help of nisih awakening and arranging for prayers and festivals. They are the first Christmas festival to celebrate Christmas carols, or Ananda song, which is known in Bangladesh as Kirtan. In addition to the custom used in the 'Christmas Birthday in the Goose House', the style of using sculptures or images is also common among medieval European Christianity followers. Followers of North Europe are the pioneers of the Christmas tree, and they are bringing this style to modern times.
In modern times, the Christmas festival became even more stylish with commercial sponsorship. Modern pop culture changes the celebration of Christmas celebration and is close to the people of the whole world. In the book "A Christmas Carols (1843)", Charles Dickens presented those who do not celebrate Christmas festivities as humble and lowly. In the poem "A Night Before Christmas", Clement Moore, 1822, the mythical story of St. Nicholas came into the discussion. It is said that, on December 6th, Saint Nicholas brings gifts to children who do not spoil the good, quiet children. The next modern version of this sculpture is the character of the most popular and popular Santa Claus or Santa Barbara, who, like Saint Nicholas, brought gifts for children on Christmas Eve. Headland Sandblom, the US-based artist of the Coca-Cola Company, however, deserves a special thanks to this.
Because, in 1931, he first transformed Santa Claus into a red dwarf, and ended the imagination of the people, and brought Santa Claus to the real world.
There are some more customs used to incite the unbridled joy of the Christmas festival. Such as decorating a Christmas tree, illuminating, greeting cards, gifts and chocolates, walking, Christmas cakes and banquets. These rituals for the boys and girls all increase the joy of Christmas. At the same time, the economy of the economy is somewhat moving. In modern times, due to the effect of commercialization, the Christmas festival seems to have become very formal and ceremonial, but the secret of the day is unique to Christ's followers. In view of religious perspective, it is not only the birthday of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind, but also as a witness to the love of love between God and the human race.
