Christmas, also known as Christmas, the birth of Jesus, translated as "Christian Mass", is a traditional Western festival, originating from Christianity, on December 25 each year.
圣诞节（Christmas）又称耶诞节、耶稣诞辰，译名为“基督弥撒”，是西方传统节日，起源于基督教，在每年12月25日。
Mass is a kind of liturgy of the church. Christmas is a religious festival, because it is celebrated as the birth of Jesus, hence the name "Christmas Day."
弥撒是教会的一种礼拜仪式。圣诞节是一个宗教节，因为把它当作耶稣的诞辰来庆祝，故名“耶诞节”。
Christmas is also a public holiday in the Western world and many other regions, such as Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia and Singapore in Asia. In the era of Constantine (AD 313), the ancient Roman church gradually became accustomed to celebrating the birth of the Lord on December 25.
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、澳门、马来西亚和新加坡。古罗马教会在君士坦丁时代（公元313年），就逐渐习惯在十二月二十五日庆祝主的诞生。
There are special Christmas services in Christian churches all over the world. But many of the festivities of Christmas do not have anything to do with religion. Exchanging gifts and sending Christmas cards are the modern ways of celebrating the Christmas in the orld.
The birth of Jesus had a story: In Nazareth, a city of Galilee. The virgin's name was Mary was betrothed to Joseph. Before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband was minded to put her away secretly. While he thought about these things, Gabriel, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and told him did not be afraid to take Mary as wife. And Mary will bring forth a Son, and he shall call his name, Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.
Before Jesus births, Joseph and Mary came to Quintus was governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up out of Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and of the lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. So it was that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
And that, Christmas is the feast of the nativity of Jesus, is on 25th, December every year. But nobody know the actual birthday of Jesus. And the Christmas has become popular when Christmas cards appeared in 1846 and the concept of a jolly Santa Claus was first made popular in nineteenth Century.
