This eve is also known as the eve of Happiness and Joy.<\/p>\n<p>Christmas Day is a public\u00a0holiday\u00a0in\u00a0many countries and celebrated religiously by a majority of Christians.<\/p>\n<p>The early Christian writers suggested various dates for the birth of Jesus Christ. Although the month and date of Jesus&#8217; birth are unknown, by the early-to-mid fourth century the\u00a0western Christian Church\u00a0had placed Christmas on December 25,\u00a0a date that was later adopted in the East. The first recorded Christmas celebration was in\u00a0Rome\u00a0in 336 A.D<\/p>\n<p>Today, most of the Christians celebrate on December 25 according to the\u00a0Gregorian calendar, which has been adopted almost universally in the\u00a0civil calendars\u00a0used throughout the world. However, some\u00a0Eastern Christian Church\u00a0celebrates Christmas on December 25 of the older\u00a0Julian calendar, which currently corresponds to January 7 in the Gregorian calendar.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a disagreement over the date of Christmas as such, but rather a preference of which calendar should be used to determine the day that is December 25.<\/p>\n<p>In the council of tours\u00a0of 567, the Church, with its desire to be universal, &#8220;declared the\u00a012 days\u00a0between Christmas and Epiphany to be one\u00a0unified festal cycle &#8220;, thus giving significance to both the Western and Eastern dates of Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>Christmas is the eve of happiness, joys, colors, celebrations and is a special time to enjoy with all to cheer around and the popular modern customs of the eve includes\u00a0giving gifts to the friends and relatives, Christmas music, lightning of churches and houses, giving cards, church services, Christmas tree and Santa Claus.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>APP\/ Saeeda\/News Desk<\/p>\n<p>VSN Islamabad<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 ISLAMABAD, Dec. 20 (APP): Christmas\u00a0is an annual festival commemorating\u00a0the birth of\u00a0Christ observed primarily on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world.
