Historical trend of Ethereum Christmas

1. Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, which is the celebration day of Christianity. "The celebration of Christmas coincides with Christianity. The Spanish Christmas scene (4 photos) is supposed to have been born in the 1st century. For a long time, the date of Christmas has not been determined, because the exact date of Jesus' birth is controversial. Except for the New Testament, there is no record of Jesus The New Testament does not know the date, and of course no one knows the exact date[ 1] In the first 300 years after B.C., Jesus' birthday was celebrated on different days. Writers before the 3rd century wanted to set Christmas day around the equinox. Until the middle of the third century, after the legalization of Christianity in Rome, the bishop of Rome designated December 25 of Julian calendar as the birth day of Jesus in 354. Today's Christmas date is closely related to the creation of the Western era. The Western era was founded in the 5th century. Later, the day of Christmas was determined according to Gregorian calendar, which is the Gregorian calendar of the Western era. According to the assumed date, the calendar divides the time into BC (before the birth of Jesus Christ) and BC (A. D. is the Latin abbreviation, meaning "the age of our Lord Jesus"). Later, although the General Church accepted December 25 as Christmas, but because of the different calendars used by churches in different places, the specific date could not be unified, so the period from December 24 to January 6 of the next year was designated as Christmas Day (Christmas atmosphere in China (7) s tide), and the local churches could celebrate Christmas in this period according to the specific local conditions. Western churches, including Roman Catholic Church, Anglican Church and Protestant church, set Christmas day as December 25 of Gregorian calendar. The Orthodox Church determined that the Christmas day was January 7 of the Gregorian calendar (actually called "Epiphany Day"), which was related to the fact that the orthodox church did not accept the reform of the Gregorian calendar and the revised Julian calendar, so it delayed the Christmas day from 1900 to 2099 to January 7. Bulgaria and Romania are also orthodox dioceses, but the Christmas day follows the Western European custom of December 25, but Easter follows the custom. While the oldest Christian Church, the Armenian Apostolic Church, determined January 6 of the Gregorian calendar, the Armenian church paid more attention to epiphany than Christmas. Christmas is also a public holiday in the western world and many other places, such as Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore in Asia. Non Christians in the world just regard Christmas as a Secular Cultural Festival[ 2] In the beginning, there was no Christmas in the church, and it was only about a hundred years after Jesus' ascension. It is said that: the first Christmas was in 138 ad, initiated by Bishop Saint Clement of Rome, to promote the Christmas atmosphere (18) around the world. The first Christmas in church history was in 336 AD. Since the Bible does not specify when Jesus was born, Christmas dates vary from place to place. It was not until 440 A.D. that the Holy See designated December 25 as Christmas. In 1607, church leaders from all over the world met in Bethlehem to further confirm. From then on, most Christians in the world took December 25 as Christmas day. In the 19th century, with the popularity of Christmas cards and the appearance of Santa Claus, Christmas became popular. The meaning of this word is "the mass of Christ; "Mass" is "a feast of Christ". This ceremony originated from the "Last Supper" of the New Testament. And "the mass of Christ" (39; The word "mass" is a combination of Greek and Latin, because Christ comes from Greek Χριστ&# 972;&# 962;， Originally, it only refers to the "anointed one" of the Jews and extends to the Savior; Mass comes from the Latin missa, which originally means dismissal, and is extended to the Christian Thanksgiving gathering. So it is sometimes abbreviated as "Xmas". This may be because the X is similar to the Greek alphabet Χ Chi Χ It's Greek for Christ Χριστ&# 972;&# 962; ì Christos)[ 3] In order to respect people of other faiths, in order to dilute the religious color of Christmas. The Dutch name is similar to English, which is called kerstroeten. Christmas is called Navidad (or pascuas) in Spanish, festas in Portuguese, narodzenie in Polish, Noel in French, Natale in Italian and Nadal in Catalan, which means "birth", reflecting the meaning of Christmas more clearly. In contrast, it is called Weihnachten in German, which means "holy night". The worship of the sun god in Syria was first introced into the ancient Roman Empire by Marcus Antoninus, who also replaced Jupiter and became a national festival in the period of King aurelian. This day is to celebrate the rebirth or return of the sun, because that day is the shortest day of the year, which means the winter solstice in the Roman calendar[ 4] After that day, the days will graally lengthen, and pagans who worship the sun god regard this day as the hope of spring and the beginning of the recovery of all things. At the same time, different cultures around the world celebrate the day of the return of the sun as an important festival. The existence of the sun god culture, this day has become the sun was anthropomorphized after the birth of the day. In order to make use of this holiday, the early Christian Church also tried to Christianize the customs of pagans, so it designated Jesus' birthday on this day. Therefore, in addition to the imposed religious significance, Christmas Day is actually the "winter solstice" day in the West. As early as the late Neolithic age, this day was used by primitive people to celebrate the harvest and kill livestock and fermented wine. On this day, the indigenous Sami of northern Europe worship their sun god beiwe. Ancient Mesopotamia such as Sumeria and Babylon celebrated the victory of malk, the sun god, over darkness on this day. Hins offer sacrifices to the sun god Surya on this day. On this day, Iranians and Hins celebrate "Yalda", the day when the sun god Mithra conquers the darkness. It is also the first day of the tenth month of the Iranian calendar, marking the beginning of winter. The ancient Slavic people believed that the old sun god hors died after being defeated by the God of darkness on December 22, the longest night of the year, so Mrs. Slav danced Horo / khoro for this purpose. One day later, that is, on December 23, the sun god hors died and came back to life, becoming the koleda of the new sun god. In the Aegean civilization, this day is called lenaia, and it is also the first day of the Greek Tirol calendar. It commemorates Dionysus, the God of wine, who was torn and eaten by the priestess menad and turned into a baby. This festival influenced the ancient Roman Republic and became brumalia (Latin for the shortest day) to commemorate Dionysus. At the same time, ancient Rome also held a dinner in the name of commemorating saturnus, the agricultural God of Roman mythology, in the week of December 17-23. Therefore, these Indo European myths about the sun are believed by modern Jesuits to be the origin of Jesus belief. It is not only to commemorate the feast of the agricultural God and the birthday of the sun god, but also to draw lessons from the early Christian image of Jesus from the statue of Mithra and the story of rebirth from the dead in other myths. Not only Newton thought that Christmas was determined by the winter solstice, but also Charles Dupuis, a French rhetoric professor and Constantin Fran & ccedil, a philosopher in the 16th century; In contrast, Jesus was born on the winter solstice in Syria, Egypt and Persia. With the rise of Virgo, the appearance of Aries and the resurrection of equinox, Maria is an affiliated Virgo, The metaphor of Jesus with sheep is actually a hint that the sun passes through Aries
