說(shuō)到圣誕節(jié),不得不提一下平安夜,究竟人們都在平安夜做什么呢?
The origin of the Christmas tree
Christmas tree really appear in Germany, after the first introduced to Europe and America, and become the indispensable Christmas decorations. They usually use colourful lights, wax, gifts or angels, for Christmas .especially in the northwestern living people, because the local rich forest resources, they will go to pick the trees as a real tree. Christmas is a natural variety, pine tree and Christmas are also man-made and white Christmas. Each tree is hung on the SAN marino adornment, but every tree must have a big star at the top of the tree, symbolized star that guide the magi found Jesus. And in the traditional custom, and only the Lord of a family can put the star, others can't hang the longterm.
然而圣誕樹(shù)真正出現(xiàn)在圣誕節(jié),首先見(jiàn)于德國(guó),之后又傳入歐洲和美國(guó),成為圣誕節(jié)不可或缺的裝飾物。他們通常用五光十色的彩燈、蠟、禮物或天使來(lái)裝圣誕樹(shù),尤其住在美國(guó)西北部的人們,因?yàn)楫?dāng)?shù)刎S富的森林資源,他們會(huì)全家人一起去挑選一棵真正的樹(shù)做為圣誕樹(shù)。圣誕樹(shù)的種類繁多,有天然松柏圣誕樹(shù)、也有人造圣誕樹(shù)及白色圣誕樹(shù)。每棵圣誕樹(shù)上都掛滿琳瑯滿目的裝飾品,但每棵樹(shù)的頂端必定有一棵特大的星星,像征著那顆引導(dǎo)東方三博士找到耶穌的星星。而且在傳統(tǒng)習(xí)俗上,只有家庭的一家之主才可以把這顆希望之星掛上,旁人是不可以越俎代庖的。
圣誕樹(shù)
據(jù)稱,圣誕樹(shù)最早出現(xiàn)在古羅馬12月中旬的農(nóng)神節(jié),德國(guó)傳教士尼古斯在公元8世紀(jì)用縱樹(shù)供奉圣嬰。隨后,德國(guó)人把12月24日作為亞當(dāng)和夏娃的節(jié)日, 面條做成的圣誕樹(shù) 在家放上象征伊甸園的“樂(lè)園樹(shù)”,上掛代表圣餅的小甜餅,象征贖罪;還點(diǎn)上蠟燭,象征基督。
到16世紀(jì),宗教改革者馬丁·路德,為求得一個(gè)滿天星斗的圣誕之夜,設(shè)計(jì)出在家中布置一顆裝著蠟燭的圣誕樹(shù)。不過(guò),西方關(guān)于圣誕樹(shù)的來(lái)歷流行著另一種說(shuō)法:據(jù)說(shuō)有一位農(nóng)民在一個(gè)風(fēng)雪交加的圣誕夜里接待了一個(gè)饑寒交迫的小孩,讓他吃了一頓豐盛的圣誕晚餐,這個(gè)孩子告別時(shí)折了一根杉樹(shù)枝插在地上并祝福說(shuō):“年年此日,禮物滿枝,留此美麗的杉樹(shù),報(bào)答你的好意。”小孩走后,農(nóng)民發(fā)現(xiàn)那樹(shù)枝竟變成了一棵小樹(shù),他才明白自己接待的原來(lái)是一位上帝的使者。這個(gè)故事就成為圣誕樹(shù)的來(lái)源。
在西方,不論是否基督徒,過(guò)圣誕節(jié)時(shí)都要準(zhǔn)備一棵圣誕樹(shù),以增加節(jié)日的歡樂(lè)氣氛。圣誕樹(shù)一般是用杉柏之類的常綠樹(shù)做成,象征生命長(zhǎng)存。樹(shù)上裝飾著各種燈燭、彩花、玩具、星星,掛上各種圣誕禮物。圣誕之夜,人們圍著圣誕樹(shù)唱歌跳舞,盡情歡樂(lè)。
圣誕襪 最早以前是一對(duì)紅色的大襪子,大小不拘。因?yàn)槭フQ襪是要用來(lái)裝禮物的,所以是小朋友最喜歡的東西,晚上他們會(huì)將自己的襪子掛在床邊,等待第二天早上收禮。
圣誕帽
那是一頂紅色帽子,據(jù)說(shuō)晚上戴上睡覺(jué)除了睡得安穩(wěn)和有點(diǎn)暖外,第二天你還會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)在帽子里多了點(diǎn)心愛(ài)的人送的禮物。在狂歡夜它更是全場(chǎng)的主角,無(wú)論你去到哪個(gè)角落,都會(huì)看到各式各樣的紅帽子。
