1. Christmas holiday history ๐
According to Christian doctrine, on this day Jesus Christ was born in the city of Bethlehem. This event took place approximately between the 12th and 7th century BC.
The birth of the Son of God was described by two evangelists who were the apostles Matthew and Luke. Religious texts say that the Virgin Mary and her husband Joseph came to Bethlehem for the โ Population census, and were forced to stay for the night in a stable for ๐ Livestock. It was here that the sacrament of the birth of the Son of God took place.

2. Christmas traditions and symbols ๐
By tradition, before the holiday nativity scenes with the image of the Holy Family, the three wise men, ๐ผ Angels, and ๐ Animals are erected in โช Churches and temples. And on a holiday after the solemn ๐ Divine service, religious people gather with the whole ๐ช Family at the Christmas table.
The main symbols of the holiday are ๐ the Christmas tree, ๐ the Star of Bethlehem, the image of the Virgin Mary and ๐ถ Baby.
One of the main symbols of Christmas is ๐
Santa Claus, a fabulous folklore character who gives children ๐ Gifts for Christmas. His prototype is ๐ Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, who secretly gave gifts to ๐ฆ Children from poor families. The exact birthplace of Claus is unknown, some believe that he was born in Lapland, while others think that in the vicinity of the North Pole.
But there is no disagreement about Santaโs appearance: he looks like a kind ๐ด Old man, dressed in a suit of red pants and the same coat trimmed with white fur. He has a long hat with a large pompom of the same color on his head. 9 ๐ฆ Reindeer, the main of which is Rudolph, help Claus deliver gifts to children around the world.
Also, in many countries around the world, a ๐งฆ Sock or cloth ๐ข Boot is considered a symbol of Christmas gifts.
There are also unusual symbols of this holiday, for example, in Catalonia, the main symbol of the holiday is the ๐ชต Log with ๐ฆถ Legs and ๐ Eyes โ Caga Tiรณ, which brings ๐ Gifts on Christmas ๐ Night, and in Greece, the pomegranate is considered the symbol of the holiday.
Interesting fact: For the first time, Santa Claus appeared as the main character in a poetic tale that was โ Written by Clement Clark Moore in 1822. When published in the ๐ฐ Newspaper, in 1823, this tale was renamed โThe Night Before Christmas, or the Visit of St. Nicholasโ.

The main Christmas dish in many countries around the world is roast ๐ฆ Turkey or goose. But each country has its own national popular Christmas treats.

In ๐ฉ๐ช Germany, ๐ฅ Nuts, raisins, ๐ Apples, and all ๐ฅง Pies that were baked the week before Christmas are put on a bright dish as treats. They also serve mulled wine and stollen โ candied fruit pie.
In ๐ฎ๐น Italy, Christmas dinner is called โThe Feast of Seven ๐ Fishes,โ so itโs not surprising that the treats are ๐ฆ Squid, anchovies and cod, and ๐ Pasta with seafood.
In ๐ฆ๐บ Australia, Christmas barbecues are served with large ๐ฆ Shrimp, turkey, and ๐ Lamb, while the ๐ฌ๐ญ Ghanaians are treated to stewed okra, mashed root vegetables (fufu), and ๐ฝ Corn porridge. In ๐ฎ๐ณ India, ๐ Curry, or biryani, and sweet milk pudding are served as treats.
