Katholisch oder protestantisch : Since pre-historic times in Europe, festivities (bonfires, offrerings) were marking the beginning of longer hours of daylight with fires and ritual. The Roman festival of Saturnalia lasted several days in December (gambling and offerings). Germanic tribes also celebrated mid-winter (drinking and rituals). The Bulgarian (with Koleduvane) and the Polish (with Gwiazdka) perpetuate this tradition. Jesus of Nazareth was probably born in springtime (Reformists favour autumn). But in the 4th century, December 25th was chosen for the celebration of his birth by Pope Julius I (Bishop Liberus is also mentioned in 354 A.D.). Thus, a Christian element was introduced in the long-established mid-winter festivals. Before 1582, the Papal States and other Italian city states celebrated New Year’s Day on Christmas Day.

Katholisch oder protestantisch : Das Erste Konzil von Nicäa (eine Versammlung von Bischöfen in den frühen Tagen des Christentums) wollte einen Tag finden, um der Kreuzigung und Auferstehung Christi zu gedenken. Dieses Gedenken musste mit jüdischen Feiertagstraditionen verbunden werden, da das letzte Abendmahl Christi als jüdisches Passadenmahl geglaubt wurde. Aber der jüdische Kalender basiert auf Mond- und Sonnenzyklen, so dass die Osterfeier dem gleichen Kalender folgen musste.
