The first recorded Christmas celebration on December 25, 336 CE in Rome marked the beginning of a global tradition. Initially modest, it aligned with the Roman festival honoring the sun god, Sol Invictus, symbolizing Christ as the "light of the world." Over time, Christmas evolved from a simple religious observance into a grand celebration of generosity, family, and faith, absorbing both Christian and pre-Christian traditions. Today, Christmas is a global holiday, embracing both religious and secular practices that center on themes of hope, light, and redemption.
