圣誕節(jié)是基督教世界最大的節(jié)日.4世紀(jì)初,1月6日是羅馬帝國(guó)東部各教會(huì)紀(jì)念耶穌降生和受洗的雙重節(jié)日、稱為“主顯節(jié)”（亦稱“顯現(xiàn)節(jié)”）即上帝通過耶穌向世人顯示自己.當(dāng)時(shí)只有耶路撒冷的教會(huì)例外,那里只紀(jì)念耶穌的誕生而不紀(jì)念耶穌的受洗.后來歷史學(xué)家們?cè)诹_馬基督徒習(xí)用的日歷中發(fā)現(xiàn)公元354年12月25日頁(yè)內(nèi)記錄著：“基督降生在猶大的伯利恒.”
經(jīng)過研究,一般認(rèn)為12月25日為圣誕節(jié),可能開始于公元336年的羅馬教會(huì),約在公元375年傳到小亞細(xì)亞的安提阿,公元430年傳到埃及的亞歷山大里亞,耶路撒冷的教會(huì)接受得最晚,而亞美尼亞的教會(huì)則仍然堅(jiān)持1月6日主顯節(jié)是耶穌的誕辰.
