Laden with tradition and brimming with festivity, the Christian

holiday, observed in most of the world on December 25, celebrates
the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem

Mary mother was told on March 25, about the birth of son of God. Jesus Christ
is believed to have been born on Dec 25.
According to the gospels, Jesus’ mother, Mary, was a virgin selected
by God to bear his only son. After learning Mary was pregnant, her
fiancé, a carpenter named Joseph, wanted to cancel their
engagement. But an angel (deva dhoodhar) appeared to him in a
dream and told him not to be afraid. The newlyweds then made an
arduous journey to Bethlehem to participate in a mandatory census.

The influx of visitors to Bethlehem meant that there was no lodging

for the expecting couple to rent. After an innkeeper took pity on them
and let them sleep in his stable, Mary gave birth to the son of God.
She lay him in a manger as angels sang and a bright star began
shining in the sky.

Christmas is celebrated to observe the birth of Jesus Christ, whom

Christians believe is the Son of God
In medieval England, Christmas was a 12-day festival involving all
kinds of revelry, from plays to wild feasts to pageants celebrating
Jesus' birth. Music, gift giving, and decorations all became the norm
Santa Claus and Jesus are both figures associated with Christianity.
Jesus' life and teachings form the basis of Christianity, while Santa
Claus is based on Saint Nicholas, an early Christian bishop who is a
patron saint of, among other things, children

How St. Nicholas became Santa Claus

One of the most popular figures of a modern Christmas is Santa
Claus, the round-bellied, white-bearded patriarch who takes a
reindeer-driven sleigh to deliver presents to good children the world
over. The character is based on St. Nicholas, a third-century Greek
bishop who became associated with December gift-giving

Santa Claus, legendary figure who is the traditional patron of

Christmas in the United States and other countries, bringing gifts to
children. His popular image is based on traditions associated with
Saint Nicholas, a 4th-century Christian saint

A long time ago, Santa was known as Saint Nicholas by his peers
because he was so kind to others and often gave gifts to those in need.
Today, some still call Santa “Saint Nicholas” among his many nicknames
