圣诞节的由来的英文版
the origin of christmas
christmas day-december 25-which celebrates the birth of jesus christ， the founder of the christian religion， is the biggest and best-loved holiday in the united states.
according to the bible， the holy book of christians， god decided to allow his only son， jesus christ， to be born to a human mother and live on earth so that people could understand god better and learn to love god and each other more. “christmas”- meaning “celebration of christ ”- honors the time when jesus was born to a young jewish woman mary.
mary was engaged to be married to joseph， a carpenter， but before they came together， she was found to be with child. because joseph， her husband， was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace， he had in mind to divorce her quietly. but after he had considered this， an angel of the lord appeared to him in a dream and said， “do not be afraid to take mary home as your wife， because what is conceived in her is from the holy spirit. she will give birth to a son， and you are to give him the name jesus， because he will save his people from their sins.”
although the exact date of the birth of jesus nearly 2，000 years ago is not known， the calendar on the supposed date divides all time into b.c. (before christ )and a.d. ( a latin phrase， anno domini， “in the year of our lord.”)for the first 300 years， jesus’ birthday was celebrated on different dates. finally， in the year 354， church leaders chose december 25 as his birthday.
圣诞节只是基督徒庆祝其信仰的耶稣基督(jīdū)诞生的庆祝日。圣诞节的庆祝与基督教同时产生，被推测始于西元1世纪。很长时间以来圣诞节的日期都是没有确定的，因为耶稣确切的出生日期是存在争议的，除了《新约》以外，没有任何记载提到过耶稣;《新约》不知道日期，当然就没有人知道确切日期了。在西元后的头三百年间，耶稣的生日是在不同的日子庆祝的。西元3世纪以前的作家们想把圣诞日定在春分日上下。直到西元3世纪中期，基督教在罗马合法化以后，西元354年罗马主教指定儒略历12月25日为耶稣诞生日。现在的圣诞节日期跟西元纪年的创制是密不可分的。
西元纪年创制于西元5世纪，后来圣诞节这一天就按格里高利历法，即西元纪年的“公历”来确定了，而日历按着假定日期把时间分为公元前(耶稣基督诞生前)和公元后(a. d. 是拉丁文缩写，意思是“有了我们主--耶稣的'年代”)。后来，虽然普遍教会都接受12月25日为圣诞节，但又因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)，各地教会可根据当地具体情况在这段节期之内庆祝圣诞节。西方教会，包括罗马天主教、英国圣公会和新教，确定的圣诞日是公历的12月25日。东正教会确定的圣诞日是公历1月7日(实际上是叫“主显日”)，这与东正教没有接受格里高利历改革和接受修正后的儒略历有关，因此把圣诞节在19xx年到20的这一段时间内将延迟到1月7日。保加利亚和罗马尼亚也是东正教区，但圣诞节日期上遵循西欧习惯为12月25日，但复活节则遵从习惯。而最古老的基督教会亚美尼亚使徒教会确定的是公历1月6日，同时亚美尼亚教会更关注主显节，而不是圣诞节。圣诞节也是西方世界以及其他很多地区的公共假日，例如：在亚洲的香港、马来西亚和新加坡。世界上的非基督徒只是把圣诞节当作一个世俗的文化节日看待。
教会开始并无圣诞节，约在耶稣升天后百余年内才有。据说：第一个圣诞节是在公元138年，由罗马主教圣克里门倡议举行。而教会史载第一个圣诞节则在公元336年。由于圣经未明记耶稣生于何时，故各地圣诞节日期各异。直到公元440年，才由罗马教廷定12月25日为圣诞节。公元16xx年，世界各地教会领袖在伯利恒聚会，进一步予以确定，从此世界大多数的基督徒均以12月25日为圣诞节。十九世纪，圣诞卡的流行、圣诞老人的出现，圣诞节也开始流行起来了。
Christmas is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ.No one knows the exact date of Christ's birth,but most Christians observe Christmas on December 25.On this day,many go to church,where they take part in special religious services.During the Christmas season,they also exchange gifts and decorate their homes with holly,mistletoe,and Christmas trees.The word Christmas comes from Cristes maesse,an early English phrase that means Mass of Christ.The story of Christmas comes chiefly from the Gospels of Saint Luke and Saint Matthew in the New Testament.
The Persians and the Babylonians celebrated a similar festival called the Sacaea.Part of that celebration included the exchanging of places,the slaves would become the masters and the masters were to obey.The ancient Greeks held a festival similar to that of the Zagmuk/Sacaea festivals to assist their god Kronos who would battle the god Zeus and his Titans.
The word Xmas is sometimes used instead of Christmas.This tradition began in the early Christian church.In Greek,X is the first letter of Christ's name.It was frequently used as a holy symbol.
“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.耶诞节是一个宗教节.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,寄圣诞卡,这都使圣诞节成为一个普天同庆的日子.
随着的广泛传播,圣诞节已成为各教派,甚至广大非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.
后人为纪念耶稣的诞生,便把十二月二十五日定为圣诞节,纪念耶稣的出世.但真实的诞生日就没有人知道了.十九世纪,圣诞卡的流行、圣诞老人的出现,圣诞节也开始流行起来了
12月25日，是徒纪念耶稣诞生的日子，称为圣诞节。西方人以红、绿、白三色为圣诞色，圣诞节来临时家家户户都要用圣诞色来装饰。红色与白色相映成趣的是圣诞老人，他是圣诞节活动中欢迎的人物。西方儿童在圣诞夜临睡之前，要在壁炉前或枕头旁放上一只袜子，等候圣诞老人在他们入睡后把礼物放在袜子内。
December 25 is the day Christians commemorate the birth of Jesus, known as Christmas. Westerners with red, green and white color for the Christmas colors, Christmas comes every household is decorated with Christmas colors. Exist side by side is red and white Santa Claus, he is the most popular figures in the Christmas activities. Western children go to bed on Christmas Eve, prior to the pillow next to the fireplace or put a sock in their sleep after waiting for Santa Claus to present on the socks
The origins of Christmas Christmas is the world's largest Christian festival. 4 of the century, January 6 is the Roman Empire, the eastern churches to commemorate the birth of Jesus and the baptism of the double festival, known as “Epiphany” (also known as “Epiphany”), that is God himself through Jesus Christ to the world. The exception was only the church in Jerusalem, where only the commemoration of the birth of Jesus rather than to commemorate the baptism of Jesus. Later Christian historians in Rome, learning to use the calendar found in AD 354 December 25 recorded on page: “Christ was born in Bethlehem of Judah.” After research, is generally believed that December 25 for Christmas, you may begin in AD 336 years, the Church of Rome, about AD 375 years spread to Asia Minor to Antioch, AD 430 spread to Egypt, Alexandria, Jerusalem, the church had to accept the latest, but the Armenian church is still adhere to January 6 Day of the Epiphany is the birthday of Jesus.
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”(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。
在将临节期，教会的布置全都以蓝紫色为主。圣坛的桌巾、讲台的台帷、牧师袍的肩带都是紫色。并且圣坛中央通常会放置一个用长青树的叶子作的花环，中间有五枝紫色的长烛，每个星期日，便多点上一枝蜡烛。到最后的圣诞夜里的“普世同庆”点上中间的最后一枝蜡烛。烛光象征着在许多年前的圣婴孩耶稣其第一声啼哭里，为这世上带来了光明。
而圣诞老人其实是西元第三世纪的尼可莱斯主教。他曾冒死解救被处殛刑的政治犯、也揭发过贪婪官吏屯粮，使百姓渡过饥荒。在宗教被迫害时，被捕入狱，身上满是鞭痕、钳伤与烙印，仍坚持其信仰。而后半生留在米拉，设立孤儿院、照顾病患、贫民。尼可莱斯生平事迹中，最脍炙人口的是他慷慨助人的行径和对孩童的爱心，这些事迹后来被儿童文学家，予以丰富的想像而成为我们现在所知圣诞老人故事。
圣诞节最重要的意义是讲“饶恕”与“和好”，而非等待圣诞礼物。在这宁静的夜晚，想一想有没有人得罪你，你还没原谅他、饶恕他呢?
各国圣诞节的习俗
法国法国中部的色日尔斯地方，每年圣诞节前后几天必降大雪，白雪皑皑，令人清新。在西方人眼里，白色圣诞是一种吉祥。在法国，马槽是最富有特色的圣诞标志，因为相传耶稣是诞生在马槽旁的。人们大唱颂赞耶稣的圣诞歌之后，必须开怀畅饮，香槟和白兰地是法国传统的圣诞美酒。
美国美国人过圣诞节着重家庭布置，安置圣诞树，在袜子中塞满礼物，吃以火鸡为主的圣诞大菜，举行家庭舞会。
瑞士瑞咳嗽谑サ谇4个星期，就将4支巨型的蜡烛点燃，放在由树枝装饰成的一个环里，每周点1支，当点燃第4支后，圣诞节就到了。
芬兰芬兰在12月圣诞节前后，漫山遍野都是怒放的紫罗兰，掩映在白色的大地上，望去一片紫红色，紫色圣诞使人心旷神怡。
英国和德国英国人和德国人一样，圣诞节喝啤酒，吃烤鹅，他们更喜欢利用圣诞节假日外出旅游。

圣诞的文化
文化宗教→全球性从最初的宗教节日，发展成为一个具有全球性的节日。圣诞节宗教涵义逐渐与世界各地文化传统糅合。有些是在宗教文化基础上演化，成为更加丰富多彩的圣诞节宗教文化。有些则逐渐世俗化、商业化，甚至政治化。以圣诞树而言，在希腊传统中是没有圣诞树的，但这并不代表圣诞节不能有或者不须有圣诞树。美国有摆放圣诞树的传统。西方国家的许多孩子从小就被告知，圣诞老人是从烟囱进入屋里，然后悄悄把礼物放在好孩子床头的袜子里。孩子们一旦功课成绩下降，就往往会被家长或者老师训诫可能得不到圣诞老人的礼物。美国纽约上州一名老师上月底在课堂上告诉学生“世上并没有圣诞老人”，还补充说圣诞树下的礼物是他们的父母放在那里的，就因引发家长争议而被迫道歉。[21] 单一→多元化圣诞节宗教神秘感的逐渐淡化，固然与科学发展有关，也与商品经济有关。市场经济下可以用各种赢利的形式包装圣诞节，商家使出各式各样的促销手段吸引消费者购买商品，圣诞节在使人们获得更多节日消费的理由的同时，也增添更多节日闲聊的谈资――消费文化。圣诞节文化的多元取向，使世界更精彩。

圣诞起源
12月25日的圣诞节是庆祝基督教创始人耶稣基督生日的日子，是美国最大、人们最喜爱的节日。
据基督教徒的圣书《圣经》说，上帝决定让他的独生子耶稣基督投生人间，找个母亲，然后就在人间生活，以便人们能更好地了解上帝、学习热爱上帝和更好地相互热爱。“圣诞节”的意思是“庆祝基督”，庆祝一个年轻的犹太妇女玛丽娅生下耶稣的时刻。
玛丽娅已和木匠约瑟夫订婚。可是，在他们同居之前，约瑟夫发现玛丽娅已怀孕。因为约瑟夫是个正派的人，又不想把这件事说出去让她丢脸，所以他想悄悄地和她分手。他正在考虑这事时，上帝的天使出现在他的梦中，对他说，“不要嘀咕了，把玛丽娅娶回家。她怀的孩子来自圣灵。她将生下个男孩子，你们给孩子起名叫耶稣，因为他将从罪恶中拯救人们。”
尽管耶稣的确切生日并不清楚，大约是在前，但是日历按着假定日期把时间分为公元前(耶稣基督诞生前)和公元后(A. D. 是拉丁文缩写，意思是“有了我们主--耶稣的年代”)。在公元后的头三百年间，耶稣的生日是在不同的日子庆祝的。最后，在公元354年，教堂的领导人把12月25日定为耶稣基督的生日。
