The story behind Boxing Day

Boxing Day, December 26, comes from Britain. The most common explanation is that it was the day employers gave their servants and tradespeople a 'Christmas box' of money, food or gifts, and churches opened the alms box for the poor. It spread across the British Empire and is still a holiday in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and much of the Caribbean.

In much of Europe the same day is Saint Stephen's Day, honoring the first Christian martyr. Today it is known for football and cricket matches, horse races, leftovers, and some of the biggest sales of the year.
