Christmas

1. Christmas Origins

Christmas celebrates the birth of chrit, who was probably born between 11Bc and 4 Dc (the death of King Herod, who plays a key role in the events surrounding Christ’s birth). Some historians try to connect Christ’s birth to the famous star that guided the three wise. If the star were the bright lights of Saturn and Jupiter in conjunction with Pisces, it would make the dale 7 BC; however, if it was Halley’s camel, it would have been 11 BC. Christmas as we know it today is really the work of the Victorians combined with a few traditions imported by the royal family from their native Germany. Until that time Easter had always been the most important festival. In,1652 the puritans actually banned Christmas a number of pagan traditions still survive such as carol singing, the mistletoe, excessive drinking ,and bad luck if the Christmas tree is not taken down before the twelfth night.
