The word “Christmas” is derived from “Christ” (the Savior) and “Mas” (Mass, or worship service). “Christmas” refers to the day we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, which took place about 2,000 years ago. As Christmas approaches, you probably hear “Merry Christmas!” all the time. We use it without thinking, but I wonder how many of you actually know what the phrase means???! “Merry Christmas” is an abbreviation of “I wish you a merry Christmas.” It’s a kind and heartfelt expression that conveys the wish for you to have a joyful Christmas. The Origins of Christmas Colors In some Christian traditions, red symbolizes the blood of Jesus Christ. Green symbolizes holly, a classic Christmas decoration. As a conifer, holly never withers, symbolizing eternal vitality. Incidentally, Christmas trees are sometimes chosen for the same reason as holly. Christmas trees are generally made from evergreen conifers. Since ancient times, regardless of region or culture, colors have been believed to possess meaning and power, or to embody wishes. In Japan, too, colors were used to indicate social status, and specific colors were used as talismans against evil. Similarly, in Christianity, specific colors are imbued with meaning and wishes. Who is Santa Claus? The Origins of Santa Claus: It is said that he is modeled after Saint Nicholas, a real-life saint who lived in Asia Minor (present-day Turkey) in the 4th century. He was beloved as a champion of the common people who performed various miracles to help the unfortunate. The legend that he threw gold coins down the chimney of a family whose daughter was about to sell herself into slavery to save them is said to be the prototype for later “Santa Claus stories.” Where is Santa Claus from? Is his hometown in Northern Europe? Or the North Pole? According to legends about Santa Claus that spread to the United States in the 1920s, his hometown is said to be the North Pole. Consequently, it came to be believed that his home was Lapland, Finland, located within the Arctic Circle. Then, in 1927, the Finnish National Broadcasting Corporation apparently declared Korvatunturi (known as “Ear Mountain” due to its shape), located in eastern Lapland, to be Santa Claus’s official residence.
