the name christmas is short for "christ\'s mass". a mais a kind of church service. christmas is a religious festival. it is the day we celebrate as the birthday of jesus. there are special christmas services in christian churches all over the world. but many of the festivities of christmas do not have anything to do with religion. exchanging gifts and sending christmas cards are the modern ways of celebrating the christmas in the world.

the birth of jesus had a story: in nazareth, a city of galilee. the virgin\'s name was mary was betrothed to joseph. before they came together, she was found with child of the holy spirit. joseph her husband was minded to put her away secretly. while he thought about these things, gabriel, an angel of the lord appeared to him in a dream and told him did not be afraid to take mary as wife. and mary will bring forth a son, and he shall call his name, jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.

before jesus births, joseph and mary came to quirnius was governing syria. so all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. joseph also went up out of galilee, out of the city of nazareth, into judea, to the city of david, which is called bethlehem, because he was of the house and of the lineage of david, to be registered with mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. so it was that while they were there, the days were completed for her to bedelivered. and she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

and that, christmas is the feast of the nativity of jesus, is on 25th, december every year. but nobody know the actual birthday of jesus. and the christmas has become popular when christmas cards appeared in 1846 and the concept of a jolly santa claus was first made popular in nineteenth century.

情人节的由来英文版-the origin of st valentine's day

st. valentine's day has roots in several different legends that have found their way to us through the ages. one of the earliest popular symbols of the day is cupid(爱神丘比特), the roman god of love, who is represented by the image of a young boy with bow and arrow.

three hundred years after the death of jesus christ, the roman emperors still demanded that everyone believe in the roman gods. valentine, a christian priest, had been thrown in prison for his teachings. on february 14, valentine was beheaded(斩首), not only because he was a christian, but also because he had performed a miracle. he supposedly cured the jailer's daughter of her blindness. the night before he was executed, he wrote the jailer's daughter a farewell letter, signing it "from your valentine." another legend tells us that this same valentine, well-loved by all, received notes to his jail cell from children and friends who missed him.

another valentine was an italian bishop who lived at about the same time, ad 200. he was imprisoned because he secretly married couples, contrary to the laws of the roman emperor. some legends say he was burned at the stake.

february 14 was also a roman holiday, held in honor of a goddess. young men randomly chose the name of a young girl to escort to the festivities. the custom of choosing a sweetheart on this date spread through europe in the middle ages, and then to the early american colonies. throughout the ages, people also believed that birds picked their mates on february 14!

in ad 496 sain pope gelasius i named february 14 as "valentine's day". although it's not an official holiday, most americans observe this day.

whatever the odd mixture of origins, st. valentine's day is now a day for sweethearts. it is the day that you show your friend or loved one that you care. you can send candy to someone you think is special. or you can send roses, the flower of love. most people send "valentines," a greeting card named after the notes that st. valentine received in jail. valentines can be sentimental, romantic and heartfelt(真心真意的). they can be funny and friendly. if the sender is shy, valentines can be anonymous.
