The origin of the Christmas Dates and time has always caused a sense of curiosity among people since no one knows the exact day of Jesus Christ's birth. So, why 25th December? The reason behind this can be found in “dies solis invicti nati” which loosely translates to ‘the day of the birth of the unconquered Sun.” This was a popular holiday during the Roman empire, which was used to celebrate the winter solstice. The winter solstice marks the resurgence of the Sun after casting away the chilly winter months. It marks the arrival of spring followed by the rebirth of the summer. It is believed that the Christian church accepted this date as the birth date of Christ, making a connection between the rebirth of the celestial Sun with the birth of the Holy Son.
How can we talk about the Christmas festival without talking about Santa Claus? Well, Santa is a name given to Saint Nicholas, who was a bishop in the 4th century in Myra. A famous legend regarding him suggests that there once was a poor man with three daughters. He was unable to get his daughters married due to his extreme poverty. Nicholas was a wealthy man, and seeing the destitute condition of the poor man, one night, he dropped a bag full of gold down the poor man’s chimney. This bag dropped in the stocking that was hung to dry on the chimney. To discover who his messiah was, the poor man hid near the chimney only to catch Nicholas. Soon the word spread out, and people credited Nicholas every time they received a secret gift. Owing to his good deeds, Nicholas was made a Saint, and this is how the tradition of hanging a stocking to receive gifts on the festival was born.
The festival of Christ’s birth teaches us many things, but it is most importantly about keeping the spirit of kindness alive in our hearts as we help those around us while spreading the Christmas 2022 cheer!
