圣诞节(西方传统节日)
圣诞节(Christmas)又称耶诞节、耶稣诞辰,译名为“基督弥撒”,是西方传统节日,起源于基督教,在每年公历12月25日。弥撒是教会的一种礼拜仪式。圣诞节是一个宗教节,因为把它当作耶稣的诞辰来庆祝,故名“耶诞节”。
大部分的天主教教堂都会先在12月24日的平安夜,亦即12月25日凌晨举行子夜弥撒,而一些基督教会则会举行报佳音,然后在12月25日庆祝圣诞节;基督教的另一大分支——东正教的圣诞节庆则在每年的1月7日。
圣诞节也是西方世界以及其他很多地区的公共假日,例如:在亚洲的中国香港和澳门地区、马来西亚、新加坡。古罗马教会在君士坦丁时代(公元313年),就逐渐习惯在十二月二十五日庆祝主的诞生。

“
”这个名称是“
”的缩写。
是教会的一种礼拜仪式。耶诞节是一个宗教节。我们把它当作
的
来庆祝,因而又名耶诞节。这一天,世界所有的
都举行特别的礼拜仪式。但是有很多
的欢庆活动和宗教并无半点关联。交换礼物,寄
,这都使
成为一个
的日子。
圣诞节是
世界最大的节日。4世纪初,1月6日是
东部各教会纪念
和受洗的双重节日、称为“
”Epiphany,亦称“
”即上帝通过
向世人显示自己。当时只有
的教会例外,那里只纪念
的诞生而不纪念耶稣的受洗。
后来
们在罗马
习用的
中发现公元354年
页内记录着:“
在
的
。”经过研究,一般认为
作为圣诞节可能开始于
的
。
原来是波斯
(即光明之神)
(Mithra)的
,是一个
节日,同时
也是罗马国教众神之一。这一天又是罗马
的
,崇拜
的
都把这一天当作
,万物复苏的开始。可能由于这个原因,
才选择这一天作为圣诞节。这是教会初期力图把
的
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,但又因为各地教会使用的
不同,具体日期不能统一,于是就把
到第二年的1月6日定为圣诞节节期(ChristmasTide),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。
随着
的广泛传播,圣诞节已成为各
,甚至广大非
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
的传说有关。耶稣的出生是有一段故事的,耶稣是因着
成孕,由童女
所生的。神更派遣使者加伯列在梦中晓谕
,叫他不要因为
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
快要临盆的时候,罗马政府下了命令,全部人民到
务必申报户籍。
和马利亚只好遵命。他们到达
时,天色已昏,无奈两人未能找到旅馆借宿,只有一个马棚可以暂住。就在这时,耶稣要出生了!於是马利亚唯有在
上,生下耶稣。
后人为纪念耶稣的诞生,便把十
十五日定为圣诞节,纪念耶稣的出世。但真实的诞生日就没有人知道了。
,
的流行、
的出现,圣诞节也开始流行起来了。
