Celebrate This -2019 Christmas Eve Kolkata – OnlineCakeDeliveryKolkata.com
The Christmas Eve refers to the evening or entire day preceding
Christmas Day, the main day of
Christmas, a widely celebrated festival commemorating the birth of Jesus of Nazareth that takes place on
December 25. It is a culturally significant celebration for most of the Western world and is widely observed as a full or partial holiday in anticipation of Christmas Day.
One reason celebrations occur on
Christmas Eve is because the traditional Christian liturgical day starts at sunset, an inheritance from Jewish tradition. This liturgical day is followed for all days in the Eastern rite[8] and the custom of beginning Christmas celebration (as well as Sunday and the other major festivals) in the preceding evening is preserved in western Churches that have altered the liturgical day to start at midnight, for example the Roman Catholic Church. Many churches still ring their church bells and hold prayers in the evening before holidays.
