圣誕，這西方的移民者，有多少歡笑寄托在我們新一代年輕人身上?以下是圣誕節手抄報素材圖片，和小編一起來看一下吧。

　　圣誕起源

　　12月25日的圣誕節是慶祝基督教創始人耶穌基督生日的日子，是美國最大、人們最喜愛的節日。

　　據基督教徒的圣書《圣經》說，上帝決定讓他的獨生子耶穌基督投生人間，找個母親，然后就在人間生活，以便人們能更好地了解上帝、學習熱愛上帝和更好地相互熱愛。“圣誕節”的意思是“慶祝基督”，慶祝一個年輕的猶太婦女瑪麗婭生下耶穌的時刻。

　　瑪麗婭已和木匠約瑟夫訂婚。可是，在他們同居之前，約瑟夫發現瑪麗婭已懷孕。因為約瑟夫是個正派的人，又不想把這件事說出去讓她丟臉，所以他想悄悄地和她分手。他正在考慮這事時，上帝的天使出現在他的夢中，對他說，“不要嘀咕了，把瑪麗婭娶回家。她懷的孩子來自圣靈。她將生下個男孩子，你們給孩子起名叫耶穌，因為他將從罪惡中拯救人們。”

　　盡管耶穌的確切生日并不清楚，大約是在2000年前，但是日歷按著假定日期把時間分為公元前(耶穌基督誕生前)和公元后(A. D. 是拉丁文縮寫，意思是“有了我們主——耶穌的年代”)。在公元后的頭三百年間，耶穌的生日是在不同的日子慶祝的。最后，在公元354年，教堂的領導人把12月25日定為耶穌基督的生日。

　　The Origin of Christmas
 

　　Christmas Day-December 25-which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ， the founder of the Christian religion， is the biggest and best-loved holiday in the United States.

　　According to the Bible， the holy book of Christians， God decided to allow his only son， Jesus Christ， to be born to a human mother and live on earth so that people could understand God better and learn to love God and each other more. "Christmas"- meaning "celebration of Christ "- honors the time when Jesus was born to a young Jewish woman Mary.

　　Mary was engaged to be married to Joseph， a carpenter， but before they came together， she was found to be with child. Because Joseph， her husband， was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace， he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this， an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said， "Do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife， because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son， and you are to give him the name Jesus， because he will save his people from their sins."

　　Although the exact date of the birth of Jesus nearly 2，000 years ago is not known， the calendar on the supposed date divides all time into B.C. (Before Christ )and A.D. ( a Latin phrase， Anno Domini， "in the year of our Lord.")For the first 300 years， Jesus' birthday was celebrated on different dates. Finally， in the year 354， church leaders chose December 25 as his birthday.

　　圣誕節的由來英文版(配中文翻譯)

　　Christmas is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. No one knows the exact date of Christ's birth, but most Christians observe Christmas on December 25. On this day, many go to church, where they take part in special religious services. During the Christmas season, they also exchange gifts and decorate their homes with holly, mistletoe, and Christmas trees.

The story of Christmas comes chiefly from the Gospels of Saint Luke and Saint Matthew in the New Testament.

　　The history of Christmas dates back over 4000 years. Many of our Christmas traditions were celebrated centuries before the Christ child was born. The 12 days of Christmas, the bright fires, the yule log, the giving of gifts, carnivals(parades) with floats, carolers who sing while going from house to house, the holiday feasts, and the church processions can all be traced back to the early Mesopotamians.

　　歷史上的圣誕節可以追溯到4000年。我們的許多傳統的圣誕節慶祝百年前的耶穌出生的子女。在為期12天的圣誕節，光明的火災，尤爾日志，提供禮品，嘉年華會(游行)的花車， carolers誰唱的同時，從挨家挨戶，節日假期，和教會游行都可以追溯到早期Mesopotamians 。

　　Many of these traditions began with the Mesopotamian celebration of New Years. The Mesopotamians believed in many gods, and as their chief god-Marduk. Each year as winter arrived it was believed that Marduk would do battle with the monsters of chaos. To assist Marduk in his struggle the Mesopotamians held a festival for the New Year. This was Zagmuk, the New Year's festival that lasted for 12 days.

　　許多這些傳統開始于美索不達米亞慶祝新年。該Mesopotamians相信在許多神，并作為他們的主要神馬爾杜克。每年進入冬季，人們認為馬爾杜克將盡戰斗的怪物的混亂。為了協助馬爾在他的斗爭Mesopotamians舉行了節日新年。這是Zagmuk ，在新年的節日持續12天。

　　The Persians and the Babylonians celebrated a similar festival called the Sacaea. Part of that celebration included the exchanging of places, the slaves would become the masters and the masters were to obey. The ancient Greeks held a festival similar to that of the Zagmuk/Sacaea festivals to assist their god Kronos who would battle the god Zeus and his Titans.
