Christmas is one of the most important holidays in Christianity. A lot of people consider that Jesus Christ was born on this day many years ago. It’s a sacred festival that’s why orthodox believers gather in the churches to attend the feast rite on Christmas.

My whole family celebrates this feast: mother, father, my younger sister and I. My grandmother and grandfather very seldom visit us. We sit down to the festive table and light the candles at midnight. Everybody is always in a good mood. After the feast a week comes when we can tell fortunes

Рождество один из главных праздников в христианстве. Многие люди считают, что в этот день, много лет назад, родился Иисус Христос. Это священный праздник, поэтому в ночь на Рождество в храмах собираются православные прихожане, чтобы присутствовать на праздничной службе.

Вся наша семья встречает этот праздник: мама, папа, я и моя младшая сестра. Очень редко приезжают бабушка с дедушкой. В полночь мы садимся за праздничный стол и зажигаем свечи. У всех всегда хорошее настроение.

Рождество

Every country has its own customs and traditions. And one of the strongest traditions for Christians is Christmas. The Orthodox Church celebrates Christmas on the 7th of January and Catholics celebrate it on the 25th of December. English-speaking people love the tradition of celebrating Christmas (or X-mas).

The word "Christmas" comes from the words "Christ's Mass" that is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. This holiday means the beginning of the New Year and the new life.

It is great to walk in the city streets before Christmas. Everywhere you can see slogans "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year".

Christmas Day is the greatest holiday. It is interesting to visit the shops before this holiday. There are a lot of nice Christmas cards and presents there. People like this holiday very much and prepare for it beforehand. They buy presents for each other, try to send Christmas cards for their relatives and friends. In early days Romans gave good luck presents to their friends such as fruit, pastry or gold on New Year's Day. So the tradition of giving presents comes from those times.
