    Christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed primarily on

    December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. feast
    central to the Christian liturgical year, it is preceded by the season of Advent or the Nativity Fast and
    initiates the season of Christmastide, which historically in the West lasts twelve days and culminates
    on Twelfth Night; in some traditions, Christmastide includes an octave. Christmas Day is a public
    holiday in many of the world's nations is celebrated religiously by a majority of Christians, as well as
    culturally by many non-Christians, and forms an integral part of the holiday season centered around
    it.

    The traditional Christmas narrative, the Nativity of Jesus, delineated in the New Testament says that
    Jesus was born in Bethlehem, in accordance with messianic prophecies. When Joseph and Mary
    arrived in the city, the inn had no room and so they were offered a stable where the Christ Child was
    soon born, with angels proclaiming this news to shepherds who then further disseminated the
    information. Although the month and date of Jesus' birth are unknown, the church in the early
    fourth century fixed the date as December 25. This corresponds to the date of the solstice on the
    Roman calendar.
