圣诞节由来英文介绍2句话

Answer 1

由来：Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was born of the Virgin Mary. Later, in order to commemorate the birth of Jesus, December 25 was designated as Christmas and mass was held every year to commemorate the birth of Jesus.

汉意：耶稣是因着圣灵成孕，由圣母玛利亚所生的，后人为纪念耶稣的诞生，便定十二月二十五为圣诞节，年年望弥撒，纪念耶稣的出世。

圣诞节是为了庆祝耶稣的出生而设立的，但《圣经》中却从未提及耶稣出生在这一天，甚至很多历史学家认为耶稣是出生在春天。直到3世纪，12月25日才被官方定为圣诞节。尽管如此，还是有一些东正教把1月6日、7日定为圣诞节。

圣诞节本是宗教节日。十九世纪，圣诞卡的流行、圣诞老人的出现，使圣诞节开始渐渐流行起来。圣诞庆祝习俗在北欧流行后，结合着北半球冬季的圣诞装饰也出现了。

圣诞节（Christmas）又称耶诞节，译名为“基督弥撒”，它源自古罗马人迎接新年的农神节，与基督教本无关系。

Answer 2

There are special Christmas services in Christian churches all over the world. But many of the festivities of Christnas do not have anything to do with religion.Exchanging gifts and sending Christmas cards are the modern ways of celebrating the Christmas in the world.
这一天，世界所有的基督教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。
