圣誕節：2014年12月25日，農歷十一月初四，星期四

圣誕節(Christmas)，這個名稱是“基督彌撒”的縮寫。彌撒是教會的一種教會的一種禮拜儀式。圣誕節是一個宗教節。是慶祝耶穌的誕辰，因而又名耶誕節。

圣誕節節日習俗

西方人以紅、綠、白三色為圣誕色，圣誕節來臨時家家戶戶都要用圣誕色來裝飾。紅色的有圣誕花和圣誕蠟燭。綠色的是圣誕樹。它是圣誕節的主要裝飾品，用砍伐來的杉、柏一類呈塔形的常青樹裝飾而成。上面懸掛著五顏六色的彩燈、禮物和紙花，還點燃著圣誕蠟燭。

紅色與白色相映成趣的是圣誕老人，他是圣誕節活動中最受歡迎的人物。西方兒童在圣誕夜臨睡之前，要在壁爐前或枕頭旁放上一只襪子，等候圣誕老人在他們入睡后把禮物放在襪子內。在西方，扮演圣誕老人也是一種習俗。

圣誕習俗數量眾多，包括世俗，宗教，國家，圣誕相關，國與國之間差別很大。大部分人熟悉的圣誕符號及活動，如圣誕樹，圣誕火腿，圣誕柴，冬青，槲寄生以及互贈禮物，都是基督教傳教士從早期Asatru異教的冬至假日Yule里吸收而來。對冬至的慶祝早在基督教到達北歐之前就在那里廣為進行了，今天圣誕節一詞在斯堪的納維亞語里依然是異教的jul(或yule)。圣誕樹被認為最早出現在德國。

教宗額我略一世沒有試圖去禁止流行的異教節日，而是允許基督教的教士對它們賦予基督教的意義重新解釋，他允許了大部分的習俗繼續存在，只是稍加修正，甚至保持原樣。宗教及政府當局與慶祝者之間的交易使圣誕節得以繼續。在基督教神權統治繁榮的地區，如克倫威爾治下的英格蘭和早期新英格蘭殖民地，慶祝活動是被禁止的3。在俄國革命后，圣誕慶祝被蘇聯蘇維埃共產黨政權禁止了75年。即使在現今一些基督教派里，例如耶和華見證人、一些基要派和清教徒組織，仍舊把圣誕節看作沒有圣經認可的異教徒節日，并拒絕慶祝。
