TOEFL托福閱讀背景材料：耶誕節的由來
本文小編將為大家介紹耶誕節的由來，中英雙語版，希望對大家積累託福閱讀背景知識有所幫助。
每年12月25日是全世界大多數基督徒紀念耶穌誕生的日子。
教會開始並無耶誕節，約在耶穌升天後百餘年內才有。據說：第一個耶誕節是在西元138年，由羅馬主教聖克裡門倡議舉行。而教會史載第一個耶誕節則在西元336年。由於聖經未明記耶穌生於何時，故各地聖誕節日期各異。直到西元440年，才由羅馬教廷定12月25日為耶誕節。西元1607年，世界各地教會領袖在伯利恒聚會，進一步予以確定，從此世界大多數的基督徒均以12月25日為耶誕節。十九世紀，聖誕卡的流行、聖誕老人的出現，耶誕節也開始流行起來了。
由於聖經記載耶穌生於夜間，故傳統稱12月24日夜為“聖誕夜”或“平安夜”。
Every year on December 25 in the world the majority of Christians commemorate the birth of Jesus day.
Christmas did not start the church, about 100 years after Jesus ascended to heaven only. It is said: the first Christmas in the year 138, by the Bishop of Rome, St. Clement held the initiative. The church contains the history of the first Christmas in the year 336 AD. As the next remember not in the Bible when Jesus was born, it is different all over the Christmas period. 440 years until the year before by the Holy See will be in December
25, for Christmas. Year in 1607, church leaders around the world gathered in Bethlehem, to be further identified, from most parts of the world's Christians are on December 25 for Christmas. In the nineteenth century, the popularity of Christmas cards, Santa Claus, Christmas began to pop up.
As the Bible records Jesus was born at night, so that the traditional December 24 for the day and night "Christmas" or "Silent Night."
