Keep reading for the top 10 biggest international holidays to see if any of your favorites made the list. 1. Christmas Christmas may be represented by presents and Santa Claus nowadays, but this popular holiday had another origin story. Depending on which culture you ask, Christmas could be related to many different things. The most prevalent meaning of Christmas comes from the Christians who celebrate Jesus’ birthday . What’s interesting to know is that it took centuries after Christianity spread before Christmas became an accepted holiday. The reason why people were hesitant is because celebrating birthdays is viewed as a Pagan tradition. What’s even more interesting is that historians can’t find evidence of Jesus’ true birthday anywhere. Most experts agree that Christians borrowed the date from the ancient Roman holiday that celebrates the winter solstice. If this is true, then that means Christmas is also a day to be grateful that the darkest nights have passed and spring is coming. Modern Christmas traditions can be traced back to the story of Saint Nicholas, who has slowly turned into the Santa Claus character we all know and love today. Common traditions around the world include decorating a tree, sending out family Christmas cards , baking cookies for Santa, exchanging gifts, going to church, and sharing a feast. What a jolly day indeed! If you happen to travel to Australia during Christmastime, don’t be surprised if you spot Santa in a red bathing suit! Since the southern hemisphere experiences summer weather in December, Santa rocks a nice tan. With the weather being so pleasant, other southern countries spend Christmas enjoying barbecues and watching firework shows. Download 253.31 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
