“圣诞节”这个名称是“基督弥撒”的缩写。弥撒是教会的一种礼拜仪式。圣诞节是一个宗教节日我们把它当作耶稣的诞辰来庆祝，因而又名耶诞节。
耶稣的出生是有一段故事的，耶稣是因着圣灵成孕，由童女马利亚所生的。神更派遣使者加伯列在梦中晓谕约瑟，叫他不要因为马利亚未婚怀孕而不要她，反而要与她成亲，把那孩子起名为“耶稣”，意思是要他把百姓从罪恶中救出来。当马利亚快要临盆的时候，罗
马政府下了命令，全部人民到伯利恒务必申报户籍。约瑟和马利亚
只好遵命。他们到达伯利恒时，天色已昏，无奈两人未能找到旅馆
渡宿，只有一个马棚可以暂住。就在这时，耶苏要出生了！於是马
利亚唯有在马槽上，生下耶稣。圣诞节便始于十二月二十五日纪念
耶稣的诞生
这一天，世界所有的基督教会都举行特别的礼拜仪式。现在因为商
业的介入，使得圣诞节带有浓浓的商业气息，反而减少了它的宗教
气息。

圣诞节是西方最重要的节日。“圣诞节christmas”原是“基督弥撒christmass”的缩写。传说记载，12月25日是耶稣的生日，在这一天，世界各地的天主教会都要举行弥撒纪念耶稣的生日。
而如今，圣诞节已经从一个宗教节日变成一个世界性的大众节日。
人们在节日期间互相祝福，期盼欢乐的新年来临。圣诞节使得这个
寒冷的冬日增添了一股暖意，也拉开了年底holiday season 的序幕。但是你知道关于圣诞节的英语表述都有些什么吗？
让我们先来看一下跟圣诞有关的英语单词与短语:
christmas eve：平安夜，也就是圣诞节的前一天。每年的12月
24日。这跟我们的大年夜有点相似（new years eve）。
christmas day：圣诞节当天，每年的12月25日。相当于中国的
大年初一。everybody goes for various parties to celebrate the festival on christmas day.（在圣诞节那天，大家都去参加各种各
样的派对来庆祝节日。）
boxing day：圣诞节后的第一个工作日，即每年的12月26日，
意即“重拳出击的那一天”。
尤其值得注意的是，在西方，还有一个christmas season。它是指12月24日至翌年1月6日，我们称之为“圣诞节节期”。也就是经
常说的holiday season，指的是一整段日子。
christmas gift或者christmas present：这两个词都可以表示圣诞礼物。我们经常会说：here is a christmas gift for you. 或者：i have a present for your christmas day.即表示要送对方圣诞礼物
的意思。
santa claus：圣诞老人。他赶着驯鹿，拉着装满礼物的雪橇挨家
挨户给每个孩子送礼物的形象已深深地留在人们的记忆中。
bethlehem：伯利恒。耶路撒冷南方六英里一市镇，传说为耶稣诞
生地。
christmas tree：圣诞树。与之相关的还有christmas
decorations（圣诞装饰物）；christmas wreath或者christmas garland(圣诞花环)；christmas crafts(圣诞工艺品)。这些美丽的装
点都使得圣诞节变得熠熠生辉。
christmas waits：报佳音的人。圣诞夜指12月24日晚至25日晨。教会组织一些圣诗班（或由信徒自发地组成）挨门挨户地在门口或
窗下唱圣诞颂歌，叫作“报佳音”，意思是再现当年天使向伯利恒郊
外的牧羊人报告耶稣降生的喜讯。“报佳音”的人称为christmas waits，这项活动往往要进行到天亮，人数越来越多，歌声越来越大，大街小巷满城尽是歌声。
christmas carol：圣诞颂歌。《平安夜》等圣诞颂歌人们耳熟能详。 christmas pudding：圣诞布丁。圣诞节吃的一种应节食品。
christmas stocking：圣诞袜。传说圣诞老人会把礼物放在里面。
christmas recess：圣诞节暂停营业、上学、工作期间。

圣诞节由来——中英文版
“圣诞节”这个名称是“***弥撒”的缩写。弥撒是教会的一种礼拜仪式。耶诞节是一个宗节我们把它当作耶苏的诞辰来庆祝，因而又名耶诞节。这一天，世界所有的***教会都举行特别的礼拜仪式。但是有很
多圣诞节的欢庆活动和宗教并无半点关联。交换礼物，寄圣诞卡，
这都使圣诞节成为一个普天同庆的日子。
圣诞节是***教世界最大的节日。4世纪初，1月6日是罗马帝国东
部各教会纪念那稣降生和受洗的双重节日、称为“主显节”epiphany，亦称“显现节”即上帝通过那稣向世人显示自己。当时只有那路拉冷
的教会例外，那里只纪念耶稣的诞生而不纪念那稣的受洗。后来历
史学家们在罗马***徒习用的日历中发现公元354年12月25日页内
记录着：“***降生在犹大的伯利恒。”经过研究，一般认为12月25
日伴为圣诞节可能开始于公元336年的罗马教会）约在公元375年
传到小亚细亚的安提阿，公元430年传到埃及的亚历山大里亚，那
路撒冷的教会接受得最晚，而亚美尼亚的教会则仍然坚持1月6日
主显节是那稣的诞辰。
12月25日原来是波斯太阳神（即光明之神）密特拉（mithra）的
诞辰，是一个异教徒节日，同时太阳神也是罗马国教众神之一。这
一天又是罗马历书的冬至节，崇拜太阳神的异教徒都把这一天当作
春天的希望，万物复苏的开始。可能由于这个原因，罗马教会才选
择这一天作为圣诞节。这是教会初期力图把异教徒的风俗习惯***教化的措施之一。
后来，虽然大多数教会都接受12月25日为圣诞节，但又固各地教会使用的历书不同，具体日期不能统一，于是就把12月24日到第二年的1月6日定为圣诞节节期（christmas tide），各地教会可以根据当地具体情况在这段节期之内庆祝圣诞节。自从12月25日被大多数教会公认为圣诞节后，原来1月6日的主显节就只纪念耶
稣受洗了，但天主教会又把1月6日定为“三王来朝节”，以纪念耶
稣生时东方三王（即三位博士）来朝拜的故事。随着***教的广泛传播，圣诞节已成为各教派***徒，甚至广大非***徒群众的一个重要节日。在欧美许多国家里，人们非常重视这个节日，把它和新年连在
一起，而庆祝活动之热闹与隆重大大超过了新年，成为一个全民的
节日。12月25日的主要纪念活动都与那稣降生的传说有
关。
耶苏的出生是有一段故事的，耶苏是因着圣灵成孕，由童女马利亚所生的。神更派遣使者加伯列在梦中晓谕约瑟，叫他不要因为马利
亚未婚怀孕而不要她，反而要与她成亲，把那孩子起名为“耶苏”，
意思是要他把百姓从罪恶中救出来。
当马利亚快要临盆的时候，罗马政府下了命令，全部人民到伯利恒务必申报户籍。约瑟和马利亚只好遵命。他们到达伯利恒时，天色
已昏，无奈两人未能找到旅馆渡宿，只有一个马棚可以暂住。就在
这时，耶苏要出生了！於是马利亚唯有在马槽上，生下耶苏。后人
为纪念耶苏的诞生，便定十二月二十五为圣诞节，年年望弥撒，纪

圣诞节的来历（中英文版）
christmas is a christian holiday that celebrates the birth of jesus christ. no one knows the exact date of christs birth, but most christians observe christmas on december 25. on this day, many go to church, where they take part in special religious services. during the christmas season, they also exchange gifts and decorate their homes with holly, mistletoe, and christmas trees. the word christmas comes from cristes maesse, an early english phrase that means mass of christ. the story of christmas comes chiefly from the gospels of saint luke and saint matthew in the new testament.
many of these traditions began with the mesopotamian celebration of new years. the mesopotamians believed in many gods, and as their chief god-marduk. each year as winter arrived it was believed that marduk would do battle with the monsters of chaos. to assist marduk in his struggle the mesopotamians held a festival for the new year. this was zagmuk, the new years festival that lasted for 12 days.
the persians and the babylonians celebrated a similar festival called the sacaea. part of that celebration included the exchanging of places, the slaves would become the masters and the masters were to obey. the ancient greeks held a festival similar to that of the zagmuk/sacaea festivals to assist their god kronos who would battle the god zeus and his titans. the romans celebrated their god saturn. their festival was called saturnalia which began the middle of december and ended january 1st. with cries of jo saturnalia! the celebration would include masquerades in the streets, big festive meals, visiting friends, and the exchange of good-luck gifts called strenae (lucky fruits). the romans decked their halls with garlands of laurel and green trees lit with candles. again the masters and slaves would exchange places.
jo saturnalia! was a fun and festive time for the romans, but the christians thought it an abomination to honor the pagan god. the early christians wanted to keep the birthday of their
christ child a solemn and religious holiday, not one of cheer and merriment as was the pagan saturnalia.
some legends claim that the christian christmas celebration was invented to compete against the pagan celebrations of december. the 25th was not only sacred to the romans but also the persians whose religion mithraism was one of christianitys main rivals at that time. the church eventually was successful in taking the merriment, lights, and gifts from the saturanilia festival and bringing them to the celebration of christmas.
the exact day of the christ childs birth has never been pinpointed. traditions say that it has been celebrated since the year 98 ad. in 137 ad the bishop of rome ordered the birthday of the christ child celebrated as a solemn feast. in 350 ad another bishop of rome, julius i, choose december 25th as the observance of christmas.
the birth of jesus had a story: in nazareth, a city of galilee. the virgins name was mary was betrothed to joseph. before they came together, she was found with child of the holy spirit. joseph her husband was minded to put her away secretly. while he thought about these things, gabriel, an angel of the lord appeared to him in a dream and told him did not be afraid to take mary as wife. and mary will bring forth a son, and he shall call his name, jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.
before jesus births, joseph and mary came to quirnius was governing syria. so all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. joseph also went up out of galilee, out of the city of nazareth, into judea, to the city of david, which is called bethlehem, because he was of the house and of the lineage of david, to be registered with mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. so it was that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. and she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
and that, christmas is the feast of the nativity of jesus, is on 25th, december every year. but nobody knows the actual birthday of jesus. and the christmas has become popular when christmas cards appeared in 1846 and the concept of a jolly santa claus was first made popular in nineteenth century.
the custom of giving gifts to relatives and friends on a special day in winter probably began in ancient rome and northern europe. in these regions, people gave each other small presents as part of their year-end celebrations.
in the 1800s, two more christmas customs became popular--decorating christmas trees and sending christmas cards to relatives and friends. many well-known christmas carols, including ``silent night and ``hark! the herald angels sing, were composed during this period. in the united states and other countries, santa claus replaced saint nicholas as the symbol of gift giving.
the word xmas is sometimes used instead of christmas. this tradition began in the early christian church. in greek, x is the first letter of christs name. it was frequently used as a holy symbol.
