CHRISTMAS
"The angel said , Behold , I bring you a good news of a great joy , today is born to you a savior and he is the CHRIST"
Jesus Christ this poor baby who is born in a very humble and poor place , brought the light to this dark life , the deliverance to people who were sunk in sin , richness, pride, happiness and hope to every desperate human, love to every empty heart and peace to every disturbed person.
Now one must realize the real meaning of Christmas, to give the thirsty a cold glass water, to dress up the naked a garment of love , to feed the hungry a good food , to clean up your heart from spite and hatred and to fill it with love, to deal with all nicely and fairly , to treat others the way you want them to treat you, to love people like you love yourself and to smile during hard times.
I am sure that you are thinking of giving your loved ones a special gift in this occasion, but did you think of presenting a gift to Jesus in his birth day? Do not worry, Jesus does not want money, all he wants is that your heart be filled with love so that it would be a warm place for him. He wants your belief, your prayer, your thanks, your faithfulness to him. He wants your spiritual happiness so that you make others also feel happy. He wants you to forgive your enemy. So let us pray and ask this poor and great baby..
"To lay peace upon our country, to stop wars between nations, to save those who are suffering from difficulties and illness, to lay fairness and equality between people and to make us always a strong and unified family living in one home. Amen."
The Traditions of Christmas
This tradition dates back to the Roman feasts, but Christianity gave it a new and great meaning. The Romans used a special kind of trees to celebrate the sun’s feast, and because Jesus is the light that enlightened our dark life this tree became a part of the Christian’s embellishment in celebrations. What about Santa Claus (Papa Noël for the French, and Father Christmas for the British). This well-known figure is originally based on Saint "Nicolas"; a priest who used to give out gifts and provisions to poor families, and he was especially known for helping widows in order to make them happy in such special occasions.
In the end, I wish you a Merry Christmas, and the best in your life.
