What is Christmas Eve?
Christmas Eve is the evening or entire day before Christmas Day, the festival commemorating the birth of Jesus. Christmas Day is observed around the world, and Christmas Eve is widely observed as a full or partial holiday in anticipation of Christmas Day. Together, both days are considered one of the most culturally significant celebrations in Christendom and Western society.
The History of Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve is a special day for Christians around the world. It is the day that Jesus Christ was born. According to the Bible, Jesus was born in a stable in Bethlehem on Christmas Eve. Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God and that his birth was prophesied in the Old Testament.
Christmas Eve is also a time to celebrate the holiday with family and friends. Many people decorate their homes with Christmas trees and lights and exchange gifts. Christmas Eve is also a traditional time for singing carols and eating special food such as plum pudding.
For many Christians, Christmas Eve is a time of anticipation and excitement as they await the arrival of Christmas Day.
What Happens on Christmas Eve?
Christmas Eve is one of the most important days in the Christian calendar. It marks the beginning of the Christmas season, and is celebrated by Christians all over the world.
On Christmas Eve, Christians attend church services, sing Christmas carols, exchange gifts, and spend time with family and friends. In some countries, such as Germany and Austria, children leave their shoes out on December 5th or 6th in hopes that St. Nicholas will fill them with goodies overnight.
In the evening, many families set aside time to read the Nativity story from the Bible. This tradition helps to remind us of the true meaning of Christmas – that Jesus Christ was born into this world to save us from our sins.
After reading the Nativity story, it is customary to go to bed early so that Santa Claus can come during the night and deliver presents to good girls and boys. Of course, not everyone believes in Santa Claus – but that doesn’t stop him from coming!
