In three hundred A.D. years, Jesus's birthday was celebrated on different dates. In third Century the previous writers want to put the Christmas day in the equinox. Until the mid third Century, after Rome legalized Christianity in the year 354, the bishop of Rome Julian calendar designated December 25th as the birthday of Jesus. Now the Christmas date in date creation is inseparable. In the calendar was created in fifth Century, and later on Christmas day according to the Gregorian calendar, namely in annals "calendar" to define, and according to the calendar date of the assumption that the time is divided into BC (before the birrth of Jesus Christ) and ad (A. D. is a Latin abbreviation, meaning "in the year of our Lord, Jesus's"). Later, although the universal Church received in December 25th for Christmas, but because of the local use of the church calendar, the date can not be unified, then put the second years from December 24th to January 6th as the Christmas festival (Christma s Tide), the local churches according to local specific conditions to celebrate Christmas in this period of the festival.

　　西方教會，包括羅馬天主教、英國圣公會和新教，確定的圣誕日是公歷的12月25日。東正教會確定的圣誕日是公歷1月7日(實際上是叫“主顯日”)，這與東正教沒有接受格里高利歷改革和接受修正后的儒略歷有關(guān)，因此把圣誕節(jié)在1900年到2099年的這一段時間內(nèi)將延遲到1月7日。保加利亞和羅馬尼亞也是東正教區(qū)，但圣誕節(jié)日期上遵循西歐習(xí)慣為12月25日，但復(fù)活節(jié)則遵從習(xí)慣。而最古老的基督教會亞美尼亞使徒教會確定的是公歷1月6日，同時亞美尼亞教會更關(guān)注主顯節(jié)，而不是圣誕節(jié)。圣誕節(jié)也是西方世界以及其他很多地區(qū)的公共假日，例如：在亞洲的香港、馬來西亞和新加坡。世界上的非基督徒只是把圣誕節(jié)當(dāng)作一個世俗的文化節(jié)日看待。

　　The Western church, including the Rome Catholic, Anglican and Protestant, determine the Christmas Day is December 25th in the Gregorian calendar. The Orthodox Church, determine the Christmas Day is January 7th in the Gregorian calendar (which is actually called "Epiphany"), and the orthodox church did not accept the Gregorian calendar reform and accept the revised Julian calendar, so Christmas in 1900 to the time of 2099 will be postponed until January 7th. Bulgaria and Romania are Orthodox, but follow the Western custom Christmas date for December 25th, but Easter is to comply with customs. The ancient Christian Church of Apostolic Church of Armenia is determined by the Gregorian calendar in January 6th, at the same time, the Church of Armenia is more concerned about the Epiphany, instead of christmas. Christmas is also the western world and many other areas of public holidays, for example: in Asia, Hongkong, Malaysia and singapore. Non Christian world, just Christmas as a secular culture festival at.
