Christmas is an important festival for Christians to commemorate the birth of Jesus. According to the Bible, Jesus was born in Bethlehem, a small Jewish city. The book records that the Virgin Mary was pregnant because of the Holy Spirit"s affection, and when she was returning to her home town with her husband Joseph, she met all the hotel guests and was forced to give birth to Jesus in the manger.
It is said that when Jesus slept peacefully in the manger, three doctors in the Far East followed a bright star in the sky to find Jesus and worshipped him. Shepherds in the wilderness also heard the voice of angels in heaven, reporting to them the good news of the birth of Jesus.
Today, Christmas has gradually faded from its original strong religion, into more than a religious festival, slowly into a family reunion, dinner, gifts to children of traditional Western folk festivals.
