About Christmas
Christmas, originating from Old English, signifies the significant holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Its meaning, "the day of the Lord, the day of Christ", encapsulates the essence of this special day.
Derived from the Ancient Greek term "Khristós", meaning "anointed one", and the Old English word "masse / messe" signifying "A holiday, sacred day", the name Christmas embodies the essence of this joyous occasion. Occasionally bestowed upon December 25 babies, this name has now been largely replaced by its French counterpart, Noel.
