One reason celebrations occur on Christmas Eve is because the t
raditional Christian liturgical day starts at sunset,[5] an inheritance from Jewish tradition,[6] which in tur
n is based in the story of creation in Genesis: "And there was evening, and
there was morning – the first day."[7] This liturgical day i
s followed for all days in the Eastern rite[8] and the cu
stom of beginning Christmas celebration (as well as Sunday and the other ma
jor festivals) in the preceding evening is preserved in western Churches th
at have altered the liturgical day to start at midnight, for example the Ro
man Catholic Church.[9] Many churches still ring
their church bells and hold prayers in the evening before holidays; for exa
mple the Nordic Lutheran churches.
Christmas or Christmas Day (Old English: Cr
9;stesmæsse, literally "Christ's mass") is an annual commemora
tion of the birth of Jesus Christ,[5][6
] celebrated generally on December 25[2][3][4] a
s a religious and cultural holiday by billions of peopl
e around the world. A feast central to the
Ch
ristian liturgical year, it closes the Advent season and initiates the twelve days of Christmastide.[7]<
/a> Christmas is a civil holiday in many of the world's nations,[8][9][10] is celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians,[1][11][12] and is an integral part
of the Christmas and holiday season.
The precise year of Jesus' birth, which some histo
rians place between 7 and 2 BC, is unknown.[13]
Boxing Day is traditionally a day following Christma s when wealthy people in the United Kingdom would give a box containing a g ift to their servants.[1] Today, Boxing Day is bette r known as a bank or public holiday that occurs on December 26, or the firs t or second weekday after Christmas Day, depending on national or regional laws. It is observed in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and some other Commonwealth nations.
In South Africa, Boxing Day w as renamed Day of Goodwill in 1994. In Ireland it is recogn ized as St. Stephen's Day (Irish: Lá Fh&eacut e;ile Stiofáin) or the Day of the Wren (Irish: Lá an Dreoilín). In the Netherla nds, Latvi a, L ithuania, Austria, Germany, Scandinavia and Poland, December 26 is celebrated as the Second Ch ristmas Day.[2]

With most countries using the Gregorian calendar as their main calendar, New Year's Day is the close st thing to being the world's only truly global public holiday, often celebrated wi th firew orks at the stroke of midnight as the new year starts. January 1 on the J ulian calendar currently corresponds to January 14 on the Gregorian c alendar, and it is on that date that followers of some of the Eastern Orthodox churches celebrate the New Year. New Year's Day is a postal holiday in the United States.[1]
The Romans dedicated this day to Jan us, the god of gates, doors, and beginnings. After Julius Caesar reform ed the calendar in 46 BC and was subsequently murdered, the Roman Senate vo ted to deify him on the 1st January 42 BC < span>[2] in honor of his life and his institu tion of the new rationalized calendar.[3] The month originally owes its name to th e deity Janus, who had two faces, one looking forward and the other looking backward. This suggests that New Year's celebrations are founded on pagan traditions. Some have suggested this occurred in 153 BC, when it was stipulated that the two annual consuls (after whose names the years were identified) entered into off ice on that day, though no consensus exists on the matter.[4] Dates in March, coin ciding with the spring equinox, or commemorating the Annunciation of Jesus, along with a variety of Christian feast dates were used throughout the Middle Ages, though calendars often continued to display the months in columns runni ng from January to December.[citation needed]
