梵谛冈:如果你想在世界最大的圣彼得教堂参加由教皇亲自主持的圣诞弥撒,虽然那里可容纳三万五千人但仍需预先定位。其圣诞弥撒大多在十二月二十五日零时举行,教皇坐在八个侍从抬着的轿子上穿过群众,一边向信徒们祝福一边走上祭坛。教皇着白袍外罩金黄色祭服,登上圣彼得大教堂的祭坛,以拉丁语念出祷告词。零时整,号角手吹响的喇叭,安放于大祭坛上的摇篮本被覆盖着。这时,圣婴耶稣身上的白布被徐徐除下了。教堂内的各国信徒眼眶里含着热泪,以各自的语言唱出悠扬的“平安夜”。世界各地的天主教徒均视前往圣彼得大教堂,亲谒教皇,受其祝福,为一生中最大的荣幸。

+ 加入清单"We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas"Have you heard that song? Yup! Its Christmas time! This Christmas, I stayed with my "host family"1. It was an amazing experience to see how a typical American family would celebrate the biggest western festival of the year.
Christmas, like our Spring Festival, has a meaning in itself. Christmas Day, which is on December 25, is the birthday of Jesus Christ--the son of God. Thats why it is called Christmas. On that day, Christians would get together with their families to celebrate the birthday of Jesus. But nowadays, the religious meaning of Christmas has become less emphasized. To many families, it is just a time of family reunion and the ever-exciting present-giving.
Our school had been on winter vacation since December 11. I stayed at my friend, Stephen Stapczynskis house--his family was my "host family". Although Christmas was still more than ten days ahead, the festive spirit had already been teeming everywhere. The Christmas tree had already been set up, and on every windowsill, there were Christmas lights. On the first day I arrived at their house, Stephen and I helped Mrs. Stapczynski put decorations on the Christmas tree. The tree looked so nice with all the lights on and the beautiful ornaments dangling from its branches.
As Christmas came closer, the whole neighborhood had made preparations too. Some people would hold parties at their houses, inviting all their neighbors to come. So every night, if you went out, you would see a long line of cars parked in front of some house--a partys on!
Whats more, the Christmas decorations that some people put on their windows and in gardens were just amazing. On one night, we went out in our car for a "tour of lights". There was one street that was so famous for its lights that it got its way into the local paper. We had a hard time finding the well-hidden street, but it turned out to be worth the effort. Lights shone brightly in front of nearly every house, on trees, bushes, doors, windowseverywhere, taking different shapes, making it seem almost like daytime. Huge inflatable figures in the front gardens were waving to us: there were Santa Clauses2, of course, chuckling merrily away; and there were also other Christmas figures, like Rudolph3--the red-nosed reindeer--with his red nose gleaming ever so brightly; even Bart Simpson--a character in the famous comedy The Simpsons--had joined the jolly party, wearing a Santas hat. The street set off a lot of "ooh"s and "aah"s inside the car.4 When we left, there was a line of cars in the street, all there to see the lights.
Christmas is the time for exchanging presents. Stephen and Niko had been thinking about their Christmas lists (a list of things they wish "Santa"to give them for Christmas) for a long time. I didnt want to ask for anything, but the Stapczynskis were so kind to "force"me make one list as well (Mr. Stapczynski told me if I didnt make one he would chop off my legs). So I wrote down a couple of things that I would like to have, and gave the list to them--sorry, my mistake--to Santa.
Finally, Christmas Eve came. There was a special Christmas service at the church at 6 p.m. It was certainly a very interesting experience for me. The priest started the service reading and sang out extractions from a holy book--The Divine Liturgy. For several times, we would stand up and pray.
Sometimes, the church choir would start singing. The atmosphere was very quiet and holy. Then there was a ceremony called "The Receiving Communion". People waited in line to "receive"a spoonful of food from the priest. It was a very special Christmas tradition. The food was made from bread and wine. The bread represents the body of Jesus, and the wine represents his blood. After this ceremony, the priest had a speech. He reminded us not to forget the true meaning of Christmas, and let Jesus really live inside us--that is, to love the people around us wholeheartedly. I think that no matter if you are a Christian or not, this principle should be part of our lives. After the priest finished his speech, the part that I enjoyed most came: Christmas carols5. Christmas carols are songs that people sing at Christmas, such as "Jingle Bells", "We Wish You a Merry Christmas", "Silent Night"and so on. Some were very merry, others sounded quite holy, but all of them were beautiful. I closed my eyes, and let all the peacefulness and happiness that were in the songs flow through me. What a feeling it was!
We went to sleep earlier that day for we had to get up early on Christmas Day to open our presents. Sure enough, when I was still half-way during a sweet dream, Stephen burst into my room and told me to get up and open presents. There were a huge pile of presents under the Christmas tree, and there was such a mysterious mist shrouding them that made me eager to see what they all were. So one by one, we went through all the presents. Mr. and Mrs. Stapczynski had bought me everything I had written on my Christmas list--and a lot more! I got music CDs, film DVDs, clothes, books I was very happy, and I didnt know how to express my appreciation for what they had done for me.
Stephen and Niko had gotten a lot of presents too, and they had already been trying out their new games!
In the afternoon, we went to Mrs. Stapczynskis brother, Uncle Stans house. They had prepared a marvelous meal for us. A lot of their friends and relatives also came. I saw Stephen and Nikos grandparents, Yiayia and Papou (words of grandma and grandpa in Greek--Mrs. Stapczynskis parents came from Greece, so they like the boys using Greek words to call them). They were very kind to me, and treated me just like one of their family members. We had a very luxurious meal, consisting of turkey, beef, pork, and all sorts of other food.
After the meal, when all the stomachs were full and everyone was feeling drowsy6 from all the food, we just sat around the table and chatted, just like what we Chinese people do at the Spring Festival. After all, Christmas, like the Spring Festival, is a time for us to get away from our busy lives, a time for family gathering, and a time to have some fun.

+ 加入清单Santa Claus was born in US in the 1860s he was named this as he had a white beard and a belly,so he was named Santa Claus as this was the Dutch word for St Nicholas,Sintaklaas.Although the Dutch had bought him with them in the 17th century,he did not become an important person at Christmas until the Novelist Washington Irving put him in a novel that he wrote in 1809.This first Santa Claus was still known as St.Nicholas,he did smoke a pipe,and fly around in a wagon without any reindeer,but he did not have his red suit or live at the North Pole,he did however bring presents to children every year.
In 1863 He was given the name Santa Claus and bore the red suit,pipe,and his reindeer and sleigh.
Now Christmas celebrations vary greatly between regions of the United States,because of the variety of nationalities which have settled in it.
In Pennsylvania,the Moravians build a landscape,called a putz - under the Christmas tree,while in the same state the Germans are given gifts by Belsnickle,who taps them with his switch if they have misbehaved.
Early European settlers brought many traditions to the United States.Many settled in the early days in the South,these settlers would send Christmas greetings to their distant neighbors by shooting firearms and letting off fireworks.In Hawaii this practice is still in use as under the sunny skies,Santa Claus arrives by boat and Christmas dinner is eaten outdoors.
In Alaska,a star on a pole is taken from door to door,followed by Herods Men,who try to capture the star.Colonial doorways are often decorated with pineapple,a symbol of hospitality.
In Alaska,boys and girls with lanterns on poles carry a large figure of a star from door to door.They sing carols and are invited in for supper.

+ 加入清单到美国以前看过很多讲中国留学生在美国生活的书,其中印象最深刻,也是一般人心目中最典型的一个场景是,一个中国女孩在圣诞夜站在无人的街头,一面流泪,一面握着话筒给大洋彼岸的亲人打电话。我本来以为这也会发生在我的身上的,因为我的两个roommate都要到别的城市看望她们的亲戚,大大的apartment只留下我一个人。结果在平安夜那天中午,我的友好家庭开车过来接我到他们家里过节。

于是,我的平安夜就在我的友好家庭家里度过了,这真正是我第一个在国外的圣诞节,也是到美国以后第一次在老外家里住,真正是从头到尾看了老美怎么过圣诞节的。感觉呢,嗯,好玩是非常好玩,有几个年龄相仿的美国年轻人一起玩游戏,看录象(哎呀呀,他们家的basement有一个“家庭影院”,效果比起当年我在华工的时候在计算机上看道班碟子是没有办法比的啦)。唯一觉得受不了的是他们的圣诞食品。平安夜的晚餐除了一碗非常非常鲜的海鲜汤以外就只有烤面包。我正奇怪,我都吃不饱,他们家那个牛高马大的儿子是怎么吃出来的?紧接着就是圣诞的service,一家人来来回回唱了几首圣诞赞美诗(我当时感觉好饿,忍不住就四下张望!),然后好不容易结束了,就是全家每人念一段圣经,也是好长好长,我都不知道走神走到哪里去了。
好不容易结束了,我心想这下总该开桌了吧?结果是一桌子的cookie和shrimp,shrimp还不错,这个得承认。撤了cookie以后,还是dissert,那么甜,又不能吃多,吃的时候我都可以预料到,晚上我肯定会饿肚子的。本来今天还有turkeymeal的,我昨天晚上实在忍无可忍,就非闹着要人家开车送我回家住,理由是不习惯住在别人家里,实际上是赶紧回家吃点中国菜。

+ 加入清单今天,我通过网络了解到......
每年12月25日是全世界大多数基督徒纪念耶稣诞生的日子。
教会开始并无圣诞节,约在耶稣升天后百余年内才有。据说:第一个圣诞节是在公元138年,由罗马主教圣克里门倡议举行。而教会史载第一个圣诞节则在公元336年。由于圣经未明记耶稣生于何时,故各地圣诞节日期各异。直到公元440年,才由罗马教廷定12月25日为圣诞节。公元1607年,世界各地教会领袖在伯利恒聚会,进一步予以确定,从此世界大多数的基督徒均以12月25日为圣诞节。其实哪一天并不要紧,重要的是应该知道它是为纪念救主耶稣降生。
由于圣经记载耶稣生于夜间,故传统称12月24日夜为"圣诞夜"或"平安夜"。
在圣诞节人们会准备圣诞树,给朋友和心爱的人准备圣诞节礼物并在圣诞夜放在他们的帽子里面,还会和朋友们一起唱圣诞歌,制作圣诞卡片,和家人朋友在圣诞树下一起吃圣诞大餐等。总之,圣诞节是个象征着美好的日子!

+ 加入清单正像中国人过春节吃年饭一样,欧美人过圣诞节也很注重全家人围坐在圣诞树下,共进节日美餐。
圣诞大餐吃火鸡的习俗始于1620年。这种风俗盛于美国。英国人的圣诞大餐是烤鹅,而非火鸡。奥大利人爱在平安夜里,全家老小约上亲友成群结队地到餐馆去吃一顿圣诞大餐,其中,火鸡、腊鸡、烧牛仔肉和猪腿必不可少,同时伴以名酒,吃得大家欢天喜地。
正像中国人过春节吃年饭一样,欧美人过圣诞节也很注重全家人围坐在圣诞树下,共进节日美餐。?
法国中部的色日尔斯地方,每年圣诞节前后几天必降大雪,白雪皑皑,令人清新。在西方人眼里,白色圣诞是一种吉祥。在法国,马槽是最富有特色的圣诞标志,因为相传耶稣是诞生在马槽旁的。人们大唱颂赞耶稣的圣诞歌之后,必须开怀畅饮,香槟和白兰地是法国传统的圣诞美酒。芬兰在12月圣诞节前后,漫山遍野都是怒放的紫罗兰,掩映在白色的大地上,望去一片紫红色,紫色圣诞使人心旷神怡。
英国人和德国人一样,圣诞节喝啤酒,吃烤鹅,他们更喜欢利用圣诞节假日外出旅游。美国人过圣诞节着重家庭布置,安置圣诞树,在袜子中塞满礼物,吃以火鸡为主的圣诞大菜,举行家庭舞会。瑞士人在圣诞节前4个星期,就将4支巨型的蜡烛点燃,放在由树枝装饰成的一个环里,每周点1支,当点燃第4支后,圣诞节就到了。丹麦人对不合意的圣诞礼物,可去商店兑换价格相似的其它商品。
澳大利亚是南半球的国家之一。十二月底,正当西欧各国在寒风呼啸中欢度圣诞节时,澳大利亚正是热不可耐的仲夏时节。因此在澳大利亚过圣诞节,到处可以看见光着上身汗水涔涔的小伙子和穿超短群的姑娘,与商店橱窗里精心布置的冬日雪景、挂满雪花的圣诞树和穿红棉袄的圣诞老人,构成澳大利亚特有的节日图景。这种酷暑和严冬景象的强烈对比,恐怕在西方国家是独一无二的。父母给子女最好的圣诞礼物,莫过于一副小水划。圣诞节弄潮是澳大利亚的一大特征。节日晚上,带着饮料到森林里举行“巴别居”野餐。人们用石头垒的露天灶中用枯树枝生火、上面架一块铁板,把香肠、牛肉、鲜鱼等放上去煎。吃饱喝足后,就跳起“迪斯科”或“袋鼠舞”,一直闹到深夜才结束。喝醉了的,便往草地上一躺,在如雷的鼾声中迎接圣诞老人的莅临。
在波兰每年十二月二十五日、二十六日举行,家家户户都要装饰圣诞树,大街小巷都有圣诞树上的装饰品出卖。节日里亲友之间相互祝贺,互赠礼品,表示友好。晚间吃饭时桌布下边要放一些草,以示耶稣的降生。晚饭很丰富,但不能吃肉。夜间十二时后,全家去教堂礼拜。圣诞节期间,一般不到别人家中做客,但主人盛情邀请者例外。?
据保加利亚的历法,圣诞节是灵魂出没、妖邪猖狂的日子。因此,人们要借助火来驱妖镇邪。圣诞节前夜,家家都燃起火堆,一直燃到天亮,不得熄灭,否则会招来横祸。由男人取圣诞木点火进屋并高声念到“圣诞节降临,牛、羊、猪、马长满圈,麦苗出满垅,人人走好运。”在屋里等候的人则齐声回答:“阿门!”
