“圣诞节”这个名称是“基督弥撒”的缩写.弥撒是教会的一种礼拜仪式.耶诞节是一个宗节我们把它当作耶稣的诞辰来庆祝,因而又名耶诞节.这一天,世界所有的基督教会都举行特别的礼拜仪式.但是有很多圣诞节的欢庆活动和宗教并无半点关联.交换礼物,寄圣个诞卡,这都使圣诞节成为一个普天同庆的日子.
圣诞节是基督教世界最大的节日.4世纪初,1月6日是罗马帝国东部各教会纪念耶稣降生和受洗的双重节日、称为“主显节”Epiphany,亦称“显现节”即上帝通过耶稣向世人显示自己.当时只有耶路撒冷的教会例外,那里只纪念耶稣的诞生而不纪念耶稣的受洗.后来历史学家们在罗马基督徒习用的日历中发现公元354年12月25日页内记录着：“基督降生在犹大的伯利恒.”经过研究,一般认为12月25日伴为圣诞节可能开始于公元336年的罗马教会)约在公元375年传到小亚细亚的安提阿,公元430年传到埃及的亚历山大里亚,耶路撒冷的教会接受得最晚,而亚美尼亚的教会则仍然坚持1月6日主显节是耶稣的诞
辰.
12月25日原来是波斯太阳神(即光明之神)密特拉(Mithra)的诞辰,是一个异教徒节日,同时太阳神也是罗马国教众神之一.这一天又是罗马历书的冬至节,崇拜太阳神的异教徒
都把这一天当作春天的希望,万物复苏的开始.可能由于这个原因,罗马教会才选择这一天作为圣诞节.这是教会初期力图把异教徒的风俗习惯基督教化的措施之一.
后来,虽然大多数教会都接受12月25日为圣诞节,但又固各地教会使用的历书不同,具体日期不能统一,于是就把12月24日到第二年的1月6日定为圣诞节节期(Christmas Tide),各地教会可以根据当地具体情况在这段节期之内庆祝圣诞节.自从12月25日被大多数教会公认为圣诞节后,原来1月6日的主显节就只纪念耶稣受洗了,但天主教会又把1月6日定为“三王来朝节”,以纪念耶稣生时东方三王(即三位博士)来朝拜的故事.随着基督教的广泛传播,圣诞节已成为各教派基督徒,甚至广大非基督徒群众的一个重要节日.在欧美许多国家里,人们非常重视这个节日,把它和新年连在一起,而庆祝活动之热闹与隆
重大大超过了新年,成为一个全民的节日.12月25日的主要纪念活动都与耶稣降生的传说有关.
圣诞节之夜,家家户户举行食物丰盛的圣诞会餐.亲友之间互相赠送贺片和礼品,表示美好的祝愿.
