Christmas HistoryChristmas in the European Union celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ and is the time for reflection and family. The holiday is widely recognized and embodies peace, love, and goodwill. Celebrations often involve traditional religious services, the exchange of gifts, and festive meals among family and friends. The origins of Christmas, dating back over two millennia, took root from both religious and numerous pre-Christian winter festivals. Considering Europe is home to many Christian followers, the celebration of Christmas is deeply ingrained in its cultural fabric. Initially composed in Europe, Christmas carols form an essential part of the tradition and are commonly sent out by Christians. Traditional Christmas markets in the region, originating from Germany, are significant, providing an avenue for exchanging gifts and exotic Christmas foods. Observance of Christmas in the European Union varies among its member countries due to the rich tapestry of cultures and traditions. Inspired by the biblical story of Jesus's birth, the nativity scene is a standard display across the region. Moreover, some countries, such as Spain and Italy, emphasize the Twelve Days of Christmas, extending festivities until Epiphany on January 6. In most European Union nations, Christmas is observed on December 25. However, in some Eastern Orthodox countries like Serbia and Bulgaria, Christmas is celebrated on January 7 due to the use of the Julian calendar for religious celebration dates. Christmas facts
