Origins and Evolution of Christmas Festival
Records indicate Christmas originated as Christ's Mass in the fourth century. The holiday expanded from feasting on Christ's birth after long tradition of deaths anniversaries, with early resistance to gift giving giving way to a Three Kings remembrance. Pagan customs tried to adapt to the season while the date of birth remained uncertain.
