On this day we celebrate the Nativity of Christ – Christmas, also known as Bozhik or Bozhich. This is one of the greatest church holidays in the Christian world.
The holiday begins in the early hours of December 25. It is a kind of continuation of Christmas Eve. On it, Christians celebrate the birth of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. According to the Gospel, Christ was born in a cave in the city of Bethlehem, in the province of Judea. At the moment of Christmas, an extraordinary light flashes in the sky and an angel announces that the Savior has come into the world. The shepherds of Bethlehem are the first people to worship God the Son. Three kings from the East, led to the place by a star that rose above the sky, also honor him. Following the customs of the time, the kings give gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Orthodox Christians celebrate the Nativity of Christ just as solemnly as Easter. Among Catholics and Protestants, Christmas is the most revered holiday.
