Many individuals erroneously think that Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ. In fact Christmas celebrations originate from a pagan festival that was done to honor the Sun God. It is the Roman Catholic Church that preferred to celebrate this pagan festival and to recognize it as the birth of Christ in order to attract people to the Christian faith. For individuals who do not know there is no place in the bible where it is mentioned that Christ was born in December.



Nevertheless there is no real spiritual meaning to Christmas nowadays. Numerous people only view it as a day of sharing where we exchanged gifts and party. Retailers feeling the opportunity to have great sales have also contributed to the secularization of Christmas. Today this festival is celebrated by Christians and non-Christians likewise and we doubt if even the young generation know about the spiritual background of the festival.



For some people they only connect Santa Claus and big spending with Christmas. People are more curious by the feel-good element that is related with Christmas more than anything else. These reasons themselves are sufficient to attract people to the celebration of such a festival.
