The origins of Christmas can be found in the name: Christmas is a religious holiday which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. In the Christian religion, Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and is believed to have been born in a cattle stall because there were no open rooms in any of the inns. He was born to a virgin woman named Mary and a man named Joseph, and it is believed that an angel brought shepherds and kings from afar to see the newborn boy, telling them that he was the Son of God. However, nowadays Christmas is not only celebrated by Christians. For many people, celebrating Christ’s birth is only one part of the holiday.
