I had the same question that you have in your mind right now, ?What is Christmas? ?. As a believer of Jesus Christ, we must know what this day is all about and why we Christians celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December all around the world. ? Christmas is celebrated to remember the birth of Jesus Christ.? The Origin of Christmas: The word ?Christmas? comes from the ?Mass of Christ?. Christ means Jesus, Mass means death and was coined originally by the Roman Catholic Church. The Christ-mass service was allowed to take place after sunset and before sunrise the next day, so people would have it at midnight. So we get the name Christ-Mass, in short, ?Christmas?. Christmas is celebrated on 25th December but nobody knows exactly which day Jesus was born because the Bible is silent on Jesus? birth date. The early Christians certainly had many arguments as to when it should be celebrated.
