About this ebook
A religion that took roots in Europe in the first century AD is now the world’s largest religion. From being brutally persecuted in the ancient Roman Empire to declaring it as their state religion, Christianity is one of the few religions that stood the test of time. The followers of Christianity were categorically persecuted until Constantine the Great legalized the practice of the religion. Today, Christmas is the most celebrated festival all over the world.
What comes to our minds when we hear Christmas? The evergreen pine Christmas tree, bedecked with lights and decorations hanging in gay merriment, the mistletoe that symbolizes a renewed hope, revived life, good luck, and fecundity, the gift exchanges, family bond, music and revelries, feasting and wine, singing carol music, and praying for a better and prosperous new year. But what is the myth behind all these festivities? How did this celebration come about? What is the reason for selecting the 25 th of December as the Christmas day? Read the story of origins of the universal festival of renewed hope and life.
