| Christmas Facts: The story of Christmas |
Christmas is a holiday in the Christian calendar, usually observed on December 25, which celebrates the birth of Jesus.
According to the Christian gospels, Jesus was born to Mary in Bethlehem, where she and her husband Joseph had traveled to register in the Roman census.
Christ's birth, or nativity, was to fulfill the prophecies of Judaism that a messiah would come, from the house of David, to redeem the world from sin.
