"Christianity." Christmas is a Christian holiday on December 25 that
commemorates the birth of Jesus. Ancient Romans also commemorated
Jesus' birth by marking a division of the calendar still in use today.

Jewish people expected the arrival of the Messiah promised by God as a
great deliver of the people.
