What is Christmas | What is Boxing day?
Many people around the World misquoted the two in different dimensions. But, Daily News Report history analyst traced the roots of these two holidays; with a view to enlightening our esteem readers all over the world. Wherever you are in the World, Daily News Report welcomes you into the Holiday season.
let's talk on what brought about Christmas - We might have heard somewhere and somehow that Christmas day was once a festive day for an "idolism". To begin, history made us realize that Christmas comes up as a celebration to disassemble a festive period in some Asia countries, know as "sungod festival". Ever head of it? it's a festival season where people come around the World and gathered to worship the nature - i.e, Sun, Moon and Star.
People come from different Countries in the World to celebrate this "sungod" festival. During the event, the Organizers usually provide many foods, drinks and gift items to the worshipers and to those who came from far and near to celebrate with them.
The celebration is also been occupied by the majority of Christians in the churches in Rome and other Countries. Year by year, people do turn up for the festival, just like normal Carnival.
Sooner, a Pope in the Roman Catholic Church in Rome, who is being affected by the way the members of his church congregation do travel down to the venue of the "Sungod", to worship it when it comes to the season, discovers a way to stop the People.
He studied the birth of Jesus Christ and he realized that Jesus was given birth to during the season of harmattan, which falls around November/December (Same season with the sungod festival). Hence, He thought of using the day when people do go to celebrate the nature "Sungod", as a day to mark the birth of Jesus Christ. The Pope tagged it as "Christmas", and he informed everyone about the celebration.
As the day comes, few people come to mark "Christmas" for the first time, while many go for "Sungod". Though, the Pope concluded that the turn-out of his celebration was low at first and he decided to improve on his packagings in the next edition.
In another edition of the celebration of the Christmas, the Pope informed the people of better offers in the season. People from different Countries turned up for the celebration of Christ. They wine and dine a lot during the celebration, and in the next day, the Pope packaged some gift items; which were putten inside "boxes" for each person to take home. The gift inside the Box was given to everyone as take away.
Upon getting the gifts, the people departed to their different destinations, they showed others who went for the "Sungod" their gifts too. They also inform them about how the "Christmas" is a better celebration than "sungod".
Later, year by year, many people now turn out to celebrate the birth of Christ and less turn out for "Sungod". The more they come for Christmas, the more they receive "gift- inside-box" the next day.
To establish a fact here, No Bible and Prophet make a clear date of when Jesus was born. But, the season was made known - Harmattan Season.
The two celebrations are now among the major holidays people mark around the World. That is how people now celebrate the birth of Christ - "Christmas" and box-in-day (Gift inside Box)- Boxing day since thousands of Years till date. The boxing day is a day to share gift to loved ones.
