What country is Christmas originated from?

Question

Helo there! I have a question thats kinda random lol What country did Christmas originate from ( what country started it,did it first)? Thanks!

Answer 1

In Rome, over 300 years AFTER the resurrection of our Lord, there was a yearly feast celebrated by the Romans who worshipped the god Saturn. This time of celebration was always situated around the December 17th--24th time frame so it would coincide with the ending of the winter solstice, a time for seasonal pagan worship.



The Pagan Romans called this celebration "The Feast of Saturnalia," in honor of their god Saturn. They celebrated the festival from the 17th to the 24th of December, usually exchanging "gifts" on the last two days from house to house. Then on the 25th of December, they began the new Celebration of "The birth of the unconquerable Sun," as the days of light would now begin to lengthen and the sun would now begin to regain its dominance.



During this time, the ancient pagans believed that the sun would die during the winter solstice and then RISE AGAIN from death as the solstice ended by the revolving of the earth in nature.



When the Roman Catholic Church had now been born in Rome, they saw that during this time, there was no party or celebration for their Christian faith or their God. Since the 25th of December was the day when the gifts were given for the beginning of the Sun-god to rise again, they chose to appropriate this pagan ritual and worship the Son of God. Since the heathen had the 25th of December as the day of the sun-god birthday, the Roman Catholic Church chose to have their Son-God Birthday.

Answer 2

Where Did Christmas Originate

Answer 3

Silent Night" is a traditional and popular Christmas carol. The original lyrics of the song Stille Nacht were written in German by the Austrian priest Fr. Josef Mohr and the melody was composed by the Austrian headmaster Franz X. Gruber. The version of the melody that is generally sung today differs slightly (particularly in the final strain) from Gruber's original.

Answer 4

Well ms Rox has given you the urban myth, now here's some history.



Christmas was first held on December 25th in Rome, Italy, sometime around 300AD.



The claim that Romans had any sort of celebration on December 25th before Christmas started is bogus. We still have original Roman calendars (called Fasti) from that time. They show Saturnalia, a harvest festival, on December 17th which carried on for up to 6 days (never more). They show NO festival on December 25th. There was no traditional festival of the sun on December 25th, there is NO historical record of it being any pagan God's birthday. Roman pagans did NOT celebrate the winter solstice. They had a word for the dark time of year - bruma - but it wasn't a festival.



Although present giving was associated with Saturnalia, it did not become associated with Christmas until many centuries later and came via a completely different route. Saint Nicholas has always been a popular saints in Europe. He was a bishop in what is now Turkey and had a reputation for generosity; for leaving gifts anonymously for poor children. A custom arose on his feast day - December 8th - of putting out small gifts for children and pretending they had come from the Saint - Saint Nicholas, Santa Claus. In parts of Europe this custom still continues today.



After the reformation, the protestants disapproved of these sorts of customs. They did not believe in venerating Saints, they thought only God should be honoured in any way. However, children still wanted their gifts so someone in Germany (supposedly Martin Luther) decided that the gifts should come from the Christ Child (the Kristen Kinder) and be given at Christmas. This custom also continues in parts of Europe - they don't have Santa. In Britan, where we already had Father Christmas, and the USA things got a bit mixed up. Santa Claus merged with Father Christmas and moved to Christmas with the presents.



The Christmas tree is also from Germany or nearby. It appears to be a left over from medieval Christmas mystery plays some of which traced the story of salvation from Adam and Eve to the birth of Christ, Christ is the new Adam, the new Tree of Life who brings eternal life to his followers. a representation of the tree was hung with dried fruit and nuts and put up on Christmas Eve (also reckoned by some to be the feast of Adam and Eve), the fruit and nuts were given to children on Christmas Day.



So the original religious celebration of Christmas started in Rome in around 300 AD. Some of the customs (presents and tree) originated in Germany around 1600 AD, were brought to Britain in the 19th century by the Royal Family and taken to the USA by both British and German immigrants in the following years.

Answer 5

Christmas originated when Christianity spread throughout the Roman Empire. Christmas is celebrated on the 25th to combat pagan festivals and holidays. Nevertheless it doesn't matter what day because its a day dedicated to the birthday of Christ.

Answer 6

Many countries contributed aspects of their year-end celebrations to what we consider to be Christmas traditions.



The Pope declared Christmas to be December 25th, so I suppose Italy contributed the date.

The pagan Roman celebrations of Saturnalia (feasting, gifts, and evergreens), Juvenalia (emphasis on children) and Mithra's birthday (child of the Sun God born December 25th) all lent certain aspects.

Christmas Trees seem to come from Germany.

St Nicholas was Turkish.
