Every December 25th, we all enjoy the Christmas holiday, undoubtedly one of the most important of the year, where we usually gather with our loved ones. This date was chosen to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ, so it is a religious holiday.
Although this time of year is usually associated with gifts, celebrations and family gatherings, the truth is that its origin responds to other historical factors involving the Roman Empire.
When did Christmas start to be celebrated?
It is not clear when it began to be celebrated, but several ancient documents suggest that the Church in Rome began to celebrate this feast formally on December 25, 336, during the reign of Emperor Constantine.
