How did Christmas Starts?

The Winter season is famous for tourism. In most of these countries, people plan their tours in the winter season and go to peaceful places for enjoyment. But the winter season keeps another level of importance for Christians. Because they wait for the winter season just because of Christmas. So, the middle of winter has long been a time of celebration around the world. Centuries before the arrival of the man called Jesus, early Europeans celebrated light and birth in the darkest days of winter. Many peoples rejoiced during the winter solstice when the worst of the winter was behind them and they could look forward to longer days and extended hours of sunlight.

Who is Santa Claus?

The real name of Santa Claus was St. Nicholas he was born in Turkey around 280 AD. Nicholas was a very pious man. He gave away all of his wealth to the poor and needy people. St. Nicholas first entered American popular culture in the late 18th century in New York, when Dutch families gathered to honor the anniversary of the death of “Sint Nikolaas” (Dutch for Saint Nicholas), or “Sinter Klaas” for short. “Santa Claus” draws his name from this abbreviation.

Under the Church’s influence, Christian traditions replaced pagan solstice festivals throughout Europe.
