关于圣诞节的英文简介

Answer 1

神说：所谓幸福，是有一颗感恩的心，一个健康的身体，一份称心的工作，一位深爱你的爱人，一帮信赖的朋友。你收到我的短信后就会拥有这一切！祝圣诞快乐！
不少孩子以为是圣诞老公公诞生的日子。其实圣诞节是来自基督教习俗，是庆祝荣耀尊贵的上帝为了爱世人，便将他的独生子耶稣基督道成肉身来到世间，成为人的样式，与人一同承担苦难、救赎世人。圣诞节就是庆祝圣子耶稣基督的诞生。而在西方庆祝圣诞节不是只有圣诞节夜以及圣诞节当天，早在圣诞节前的四个星期日，便已经开始每周日庆祝耶稣诞生的习俗，这一段时间称为“将临期”。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.
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。
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.
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。
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."
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？
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.
