About this day
Why it matters
Christmas marks the Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ on 25 December.
Who it’s for
Christians worldwide, but also a widely observed cultural family holiday — gift exchanges, festive meals, and time off work and school.
Background
The 25 December date was fixed in the 4th century. Modern traditions blend Christian liturgy with older Northern European winter-solstice customs (Yule, evergreens, lights).
