 Christmas is the Christian holiday which celebrates the Nativity, that is to say the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. The Christmas feast comes shortly after the winter solstice with which it is associated (see below). Dechristianization having done so, the feast of Christmas is today cut off from its religious basis in many Western countries, but it remains there as a traditional feast.
Established on December 25 in the 4th century and spread by the progressive Christianization of Europe and the Mediterranean basin, this Nativity feast is gradually taking the place of various feasts linked to the winter solstice (Germanic feast of Yule, feast of Mithras, Roman Saturnalia, etc.). Christ being presented as the “sun of justice” of a new era, his birth opens the Christian liturgical year during a ritualized midnight mass.
The evangelical account of the birth of Jesus served for centuries as a basis for a great artistic wealth (painting, sculpture, music, literature) which was reinforced by the popular diffusion of the crib in the 13th century, but the ferments of other traditions linked to the solstice. do not completely disappear. This is how the German-Nordic fir, a sign of a living nature despite the winter, was honored from the 16th century and even reached churches. The Christmas tree will establish itself as a symbol of the end-of-year holiday season alongside the dechristianization of Europe in modern times.
The tradition of Santa Claus, which is globalized in the 20th century, will complete this development which has added a secular dimension to the Christian holiday, more oriented towards children, families and gifts.
