The traditions of Holy Christmas
The history of a Christmas festival is about over 4000 years old. Primordial Midwinter merriment fêted the arrival of the Sun from darkness and cold. Midwinter was a whirling point amid the Old Year and the New Year. Fire was an emblem of optimism and bough of foliage denote the enduring cycle of creation.
The term “Xmas” as an alternative of “Christmas” is a Greek word. The Greek word for “Christ” is “Xristos.” in the Sixteenth Century; Europeans began to use the first letter “X” of “Xristos”…instead of the word “Christ”. Eventually, “Xmas” came to be both an customary and apposite option to the word “Christmas.”
