The story behind Christmas Day

Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus. The Bible gives no date, and the first record of a December 25 celebration comes from Rome in the year 336. From there it spread with the Church across Europe and, later, the world. Churches that still follow the old Julian calendar, in Russia, Serbia, Ethiopia and Egypt among others, keep it on January 7.

Today it is a public holiday in nearly 200 countries and territories, including many where Christians are a minority. Around the world it has gathered other customs too: gifts, trees, midnight mass, family meals that run for hours, and in the Caribbean and Latin America, music in the streets until dawn.
