The 25th of December is the great birthday of Jesus that is celebrated by millions of people all over the world. Though no one knows the real birthday of Jesus, as the date is not given in the Bible. Then what makes us do so? Why the 25th of December? According to the Christmas Customs, the birth of Jesus probably didn't happen in the year 1AD but slightly earlier, in about 5, 6 or 7BC.
In the 5th century Christmas was first celebrated on the 25th December that was in the time of the Roman Emperor Constantine. He first bought the Roman pagan 'sun-day' (the first day of the week) and the 'sabbath' (the Christians holy day) together to what we now call Sunday. As it is mentioned in Christmas Customs, this date was probably chosen because the Winter Solstice and the ancient pagan Roman midwinter festivals called 'Saturnalia' and 'Dies Natalis Solis Invicti' took place in December.
Anyway we do celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December. People of different nationalities congratulate each other. And it is always pleasant to hear the phrase: Marry Christmas in your own language. We do congratulate our friends in their languages in order to express our respect.
And if you have a foreign friend whom you’d wish to say Marry Christmas in you can choose from these languages:
