Not Just Christmas Eve
<\/h2><\/div>

For many, December is synonymous with Christmas. In the Christian tradition (in most denominations), this holiday is celebrated to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ and falls on December 25th in Churches using the Gregorian calendar, and January 7th in Churches using the Julian calendar. In the Catholic Church, Christmas is the second most important holiday, after Easter, and is preceded by a three-week period of fasting called Advent. Traditionally, celebrations begin on the evening of December 24th with the Christmas Eve dinner. December 25th is a day usually spent with loved ones celebrating the Nativity of Christ. December 26th commemorates St. Stephen, the first martyr. This is typically a time spent with family and friends. <\/p>\n

Depending on the Christian denomination, Christmas is celebrated in different ways. For example, in the Byzantine rite, the holidays are preceded by a six-week penitential fast, and there is no custom of setting up nativity scenes with figures. Instead, a large icon depicting the scene of the birth of Jesus Christ is placed in a prominent spot and decorated. <\/p>\n

The main symbols of Christmas that appear in most Christian denominations include: Christmas Eve dinner, the Christmas tree, sharing the wafer, the Star of Bethlehem, carols, and gift-giving\u2022. Some of these symbols: the Christmas tree, Santa Claus, and gifts are now widely accepted and celebrated even by non-Christians, becoming a universal element of mass culture. <\/p>\n<\/div>
