As the crisp winter air settles in and the landscape is painted with snow, familiar aromas begin to fill our homes—the rich scent of mulled wine, spicy gingerbread, fragrant rosemary, and sweet plum cakes. This magical time culminates in Christmas, the longest night of the year, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, revered as the 'Prince of Peace' and saviour. In 2025, the world is once again aglow with festive cheer, twinkling lights, and families reuniting under snowy skies, reminding us all of the enduring values of joy, peace, and deep human connection.
The Historical Roots of Christmas Celebration
The primary reason for celebrating Christmas is to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago. For Christians, this event marks the arrival of the Son of God, whose life brought messages of unconditional love, peace, and salvation to the world. This core narrative is drawn from the Gospel stories in the Bible.
However, the celebration as we know it today took shape in the 4th century. Early Christian leaders strategically aligned the observance with December 25th. This timing coincided with popular Roman pagan festivals like Saturnalia and Sol Invictus, facilitating a smoother transition for converts. Many beloved customs have more recent origins. The tradition of decorating evergreen trees, for instance, was inspired by German practices from the 1500s and was later popularised globally in the 1800s, partly due to the influence of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
