圣诞节又称耶诞节,顾名思义就是纪念救世主耶稣诞生的节日。但是这个节日的日期在发展的过程中存在不一致,因为耶稣的诞辰在《圣经》中并没有记载,所以这个日子其实具有很大的随意性,长期发展下来人们已经接受在这一天作为圣诞节。
圣诞节故事:
中文版:圣诞老人为奥丁神后裔,
也传说称圣诞老人由圣·尼古拉而来,所以圣诞老人也称St.Nicholas。据说他原是小亚细亚每拉城的主教,名叫圣尼古拉,死后被尊为圣徒,是一位身穿红袍、头戴红帽的白胡子老头。
每年圣诞节他驾着鹿拉的雪橇从北方而来,由烟囱进入各家,把圣诞礼物装在袜子里挂在孩子们的床头上或火炉前。
所以,西方人过圣诞节时,父母把给孩子的圣诞礼物装在袜子里,圣诞夜时挂在孩子们的床头上。第二天,孩子们醒来后的第一件事就是在床头上寻找圣诞老人送来的礼物。
英文版:Christmas Father was the descendant of a deity called Odin. It's
also said that Christmas Father comes from San Nichola, so he is also
called St.
Nicholas. He was the bishop of Asia Minor city of Rafah and he
was called a man of God after his death. He is an old man in red
clothes and he wears a red hat.He has white mustache.
He comes from the
north on a blow-mobile every Christmas Day. He went into people's houses
by the track and he put the presents into children's socks.
So in
western countries,parents put the gifts to their kids in kids' socks and
put them on the head of the bed on Christmas Eve. On the second day,
the first thing after kids wake up is to find the presents from
Christmas Fathers.
