    History of Christmas
    The history of Christmas dates back to thousand years.
    The first recorded date of Christmas being celebrated on December 25th was in 336AD in the time of the Roman Emperor Constantine (he was the first Christian Roman Emperor). A few years later Pope Julius I officially declared that the birth of Jesus would be celebrated on the 25th December.

    Roman midwinter festivals called 'Saturnalia'
    and 'Dies Natalis Solis Invicti' took
    place in December.

    St Augustine was the person
    who really started Christmas
    in the UK by introducing
    Christianity in the 6th century.
    He came from countries that
    used the Roman Calendar, so
    western countries celebrate
    Christmas on the 25th December.
    Then people from Britain and
    Western Europe took Christmas on
    the 25th December all over the world!

    Boxing Day
    Boxing Day takes place on December 26th
    and is only celebrated in a few countries.
    It was started in the UK about 800 years
    ago in the Middle Ages. It was the day
    when the alms box, collection boxes for
    the poor often kept in churches, were
    opened so that the contents could be
    distributed to poor people. Some churches
    still open these boxes on Boxing Day.

    Boxing Day has now become another
    public holiday in countries such as
    the U.K. , Canada, Australia
    and New Zealand.

    7 слайд

    If we are to find the roots of the Christmas traditions,
    we may need to go back to the age of Mesopotamian
    culture which had the tradition of celebrating New Year.
    The same kind of tradition was also the part of
    the Persian and Babylonian culture. They had the festival
    called the ‘Sacaea’. On the other hand, there was also
    a festival in Scandinavia known as ‘Yule’, which was
    celebrated during the winter months. All these festivals
    have had great impact on the present day Christmas.

    Christmas Tree
    The first Christmas Trees came to Britain
    in the 1830s. They became very popular
    in 1841, when Prince Albert (Queen 
    Victoria's German husband) had
    a Christmas Tree set up in Windsor
    Castle. Ever since then, Christmas Trees
    have been a part of a British Christmas.
    Because of the danger of fire, in 1895 Ralph Morris,
    an American telephonist, invented the first
    electric Christmas lights, similar to the ones we use today.

    10 слайд

    Holly, Ivy and other greenery such as Mistletoe
    were originally used in pre-Christian times to
    help celebrate the Winter Solstice Festival and
    ward off evil spirits and celebrate new growth.
    Greenery
    The U.K. and Germany were the main countries
    to keep the use of the greenery and here
    the Christian meanings are :

    11 слайд

    Holly became the recognized symbol of Christmas.
    According to some versions, from it the wreath of
    the Christ was done, and a berry holly have reddened
    from blood of the Savior. The prickly leaves represent
    the crown of thorns that Jesus wore when he was
    crucified. The berries are the drops of blood that
    were shed by Jesus because of the thorns.

    Mistletoe
    The practice of hanging it in the house
    goes back to the times of the ancient
    Druids.
    It is supposed to possess mystical powers which bring good luck to the household and ward off evil spirits.
    It was also used as a sign of love and friendship in Norse mythology and that's where the custom of kissing under Mistletoe comes from.

    15 слайд

    Carols were first sung in Europe thousands of years ago,
    but these were not Christmas Carols. They were pagan
    songs, sung at the Winter Solstice celebrations as
    people danced round stone circles. The Winter Solstice
    is the shortest day of the year, usually taking place
    around the 22nd December. The word Carol actually
    means dance or a song of praise and joy! Carols used
    to be written and sung during all four seasons, but
    only the tradition of singing them at
    Christmas has really survived!

    20 слайд

    Christingle
    It actually means 'Christ Light' and celebrates
    the light of Jesus coming into the world:
    but no one is really sure how the Christingles
    came into being.

    The orange is round like the world.
    The candle stands tall and straight and
    gives light in the dark like the love of God.
    The red ribbon goes all around the 'world'
    and is a symbol of the blood Jesus shed
    when he died for us.
    The four sticks point in all directions and
    symbolise North, South, East and West –
    they also represent the four seasons.
    The fruit and nuts (or sometimes sweets!)
    represent the fruits of the earth, nurtured
    by the sunshine and the rain.

    The Christmas log

    Nowadays the Christmas log
    should be cut down by the
    head of family, instead of being
    bought from someone. It should
    be burnt down in a fireplace
    together with the rest of the last
    year's Christmas logs. The log
    should be burnt for all twelve
    days of Christmas. There is
    a superstition, that if the person
    sees the shadow rejected from
    a fireplace where a log burns,
    without a head, he will die in the
    following year. It is said that ash
    of a Christmas log cures illnesses.

    Presents
    One of the main reasons we
    have the custom of giving
    and receiving presents at
    Christmas, is to remind us
    of the presents given to
    Jesus by the Wise Men:
    Frankincense, Gold and Myrrh.

    Frankincense was a perfume used in Jewish
    worship and, as a gift, it showed that people
    would worship Jesus.
    Gold was associated with Kings and Christians
    believe that Jesus is the King of Kings.
    Myrrh was a perfume that was put on dead
    bodies to make them smell nice and, as a gift,
    it showed that Jesus would suffer and die.
