Christmas is a time of joy and celebration.
Many countries have unique customs and
traditions that help make this a happy season.

In Mexico, starting nine days before
Christmas Day, children go through their
neighborhoods reenacting Joseph and
Mary's search for lodgings. Two children
carrying figures of Joseph and Mary lead
a procession to a particular house singing
Christmas carols as they go. They knock
on the door and ask for a room. At first
they are refused, but then they are
allowed in. A feast and celebration follow.

In Iraq, Christian families gather together on
Christmas Eve. One of the children reads about
the birth of Jesus while other family members
hold lighted candles. After the reading, a bonfire
of thorn bushes is lit and everyone sings. If the
thorns burn to ashes, good luck will be granted
for the coming year. When the fire dies, each
person jumps over the ashes three times and
makes a wish. On Christmas Day another bonfire
is lit in the churchyard. The bishop, carrying a
figure of the Baby Jesus leads the service.
Afterwards he blesses one person with a touch.
That person touches the person next to him or
her and the touch is passed around until all
present have felt the “touch of peace.”

In Egypt, everyone is supposed to go out and
buy some new clothes that have never been
worn before Christmas. They are to wear them
to a church service on Christmas Eve that lasts
until the church bells ring at midnight. Then
everyone heads home for a special Christmas
dinner that consists of bread, rice, garlic, and
boiled meat.

about two weeks before Christmas when the
Lebanese plant seeds of peas, beans, wheat, and
lentils into cotton-wool balls. At Christmas the
seedlings have grown to a height of about 15
centimeters. The Lebanese decorate mangers
mostly made out of brown paper with these
seedlings. A star is fixed above the biblical scene.

In Bethlehem, Palestine, the little town where Jesus
was born, is the site of the Church of the Nativity,
which is ablaze with flags and decorations every
Christmas. On Christmas Eve natives and visitors
alike crowd the church’s doorways and stand on the
roof to watch for the dramatic annual procession.
Galloping horsemen and police mounted on Arabian
horses lead the parade. They are followed by a
solitary horseman carrying a cross and sitting
astride a coal-black steed. Then come the
churchmen and government officials. The
procession solemnly enters the doors and places an
ancient effigy of the Holy Child in the church. Deep
winding stairs lead to a grotto where visitors find a
silver star marking the site of the Christ child’s birth.

In many countries, nativity scenes are
displayed to remind everyone of the birth
of Jesus. In Italy, the family prays as the
mother puts the figure of the baby Jesus in
the manger.

Around the world, bells are rung on
joyous occasions. Throughout Norway,
people ring in Christmas by tolling bells
at 5 pm on Christmas Eve.

And there is the Christmas tree, of course. There is
considerable speculation as to how and when the
evergreen became a symbol of Christmas, but many
believe it can be traced to medieval Germany, where
the Paradeisbaum, or Paradise tree, a type of
evergreen, was decorated with red apples and used
in a popular play about Adam and Eve that was put
on at Christmastime. The fact that the tree is always
green symbolizes the eternal life that God promises
to those that believe in Him.

Perhaps the most widespread of all Christmas
traditions—the giving of gifts to loved
ones—has its roots in the gifts the wise men
from Mesopotamia, present day Iraq,
presented to Jesus. They had seen a sign in
the heavens that signaled His birth, and they
went to honor Him. In those days, travel was
not easy. It probably took the wise men
about two years of preparation and travel
before they arrived in Palestine and were
able to give their gifts. The gifts the wise men
gave were gold, frankincense, and myrrh—
the best their kingdoms had to offer.

But why all these traditions? Let’s travel back to the
first Christmas Eve, where some shepherds are taking
care of their flocks on a hillside near Bethlehem. A
bright light bursts forth and angels announce the birth
of Jesus in song. The shepherds are so excited that
they run and tell everyone they can about what just
happened. Imagine the joy that Mary and Joseph
experience when they hold the baby in their arms!
No matter what Christmas traditions we hold dear,
that same unspeakable joy found in the love God sent
to the world that very first Christmas, can still be felt
today by all those who open their hearts to it. With
that love and joy in our hearts we can truly celebrate
Christmas.

Christmas customs around the world under 40 characters

  • 1. Christmas is a time of joy and celebration. Many countries have unique customs and traditions that help make this a happy season. ‫البالد‬ ‫من‬ ‫فالعديد‬ ٌ‫موسم‬ ‫الميالد‬ ‫عيد‬ ،‫اإلحتفال‬‫و‬ ‫للبهجة‬ ‫على‬ ‫البهجة‬‫و‬ ‫ح‬‫الفر‬ ‫تضفي‬ ‫خاصة‬ ‫وتقاليد‬ ‫عادات‬ ‫لديها‬ ‫الموسم‬ ‫هذا‬.
  • 2. In Mexico, starting nine days before Christmas Day, children go through their neighborhoods reenacting Joseph and Mary's search for lodgings. Two children carrying figures of Joseph and Mary lead a procession to a particular house singing Christmas carols as they go. They knock on the door and ask for a room. At first they are refused, but then they are allowed in. A feast and celebration follow. ‫حيث‬ ‫أيام‬ ‫بتسعة‬ ‫الميالد‬ ‫عيد‬ ‫يوم‬ ‫قبل‬ ‫المكسيك‬ ‫في‬ ‫الموسم‬ ‫يبدأ‬ ‫المسكن‬ ‫عن‬ ً‫ا‬‫بحث‬ ‫ي‬‫ومار‬ ‫يف‬‫ز‬‫جو‬ ‫شخصيتي‬ ‫بتمثيل‬ ‫األطفال‬ ‫يقوم‬. ‫إلى‬ ‫السير‬ ‫ويتقدمان‬ ‫ي‬‫ومار‬ ‫يف‬‫ز‬‫جو‬ ‫تي‬‫ر‬‫صو‬ ‫بحمل‬ ‫طفالن‬ ‫يقوم‬ ‫يطرقون‬ ،‫الميالد‬ ‫عيد‬ ‫انيم‬‫ر‬‫ت‬ ‫ين‬‫ر‬‫اآلخ‬ ‫مع‬ ‫ويغنيان‬ ‫معين‬ ‫مسكن‬ ‫غرفة‬ ‫في‬ ‫اإلقامة‬ ‫ويطلبون‬ ‫الباب‬.‫لكن‬ ‫رفضهم‬ ‫يتم‬ ‫البداية‬ ‫في‬ ‫اإلحتفال‬‫و‬ ‫الوليمة‬ ‫تبدأ‬ ‫بالدخول‬ ‫لهم‬ ‫السماح‬ ‫يتم‬ ‫عندما‬.

In Scotland, on the night after Christmas, boxes of food are wrapped and given to the poor. ‫صناديق‬ ‫ف‬ ‫التي‬ ‫الليلة‬ ‫وفي‬ ‫إسكتلندا‬ ‫في‬ ‫الطعام‬ ‫على‬ ‫تحتوي‬ ّ‫ل‬‫غ‬ُ‫ت‬ ‫الميالد‬ ‫عيد‬ ‫تلي‬ ‫اء‬‫ر‬‫للفق‬ ‫وتمنح‬.

  • 4. In Russia, some Orthodox Christians fast during a period before Christmas. Then, at the sight of the first star in the sky on Christmas Eve, a 12-course supper begins. ‫الطائفة‬ ‫من‬ ‫األشخاص‬ ‫بعض‬ ‫يصوم‬ ،‫روسيا‬ ‫في‬ ‫رؤيتهم‬ ‫ومع‬ ‫ة‬‫ر‬‫بفت‬ ‫الميالد‬ ‫عيد‬ ‫قبل‬ ‫ثودكسية‬‫ر‬‫اال‬ ‫يبدؤون‬ ‫الميالد‬ ‫عيد‬ ‫عشية‬ ‫السماء‬ ‫في‬ ‫نجمة‬ ‫أول‬ ‫العشاء‬ ‫بتناول‬. In Greece, children go from house to house on Christmas Eve, knocking on doors and singing songs that herald the arrival of the Christ Child. ،‫الميالد‬ ‫عيد‬ ‫عشية‬ ‫بيت‬ ‫إلى‬ ‫بيت‬ ‫من‬ ‫األطفال‬ ‫يتنقل‬ ،‫اليونان‬ ‫في‬ ‫الطفل‬ َّ‫بش‬ ‫التي‬ ‫األغاني‬ ‫ويغنون‬ ‫اب‬‫و‬‫األب‬ ‫بقدوم‬ ‫رت‬ ‫يطرقون‬ ‫المسيح‬.
  • 5.

  • 6. In Iraq, Christian families gather together on Christmas Eve. One of the children reads about the birth of Jesus while other family members hold lighted candles. After the reading, a bonfire of thorn bushes is lit and everyone sings. If the thorns burn to ashes, good luck will be granted for the coming year. When the fire dies, each person jumps over the ashes three times and makes a wish. On Christmas Day another bonfire is lit in the churchyard. The bishop, carrying a figure of the Baby Jesus leads the service. Afterwards he blesses one person with a touch. That person touches the person next to him or her and the touch is passed around until all present have felt the “touch of peace.” ‫أ‬‫ر‬‫ويق‬ ‫الميالد‬ ‫عيد‬ ‫عشية‬ ‫المسيحية‬ ‫العائالت‬ ‫تجتمع‬ ،‫اق‬‫ر‬‫الع‬ ‫في‬ ‫اد‬‫ر‬‫أف‬ ‫يحمل‬ ‫بينما‬ ‫السالم‬ ‫عليه‬ ‫المسيح‬ ‫ميالد‬ ‫عن‬ ‫األطفال‬ ‫أحد‬ ‫المضاءة‬ ‫ع‬‫الشمو‬ ‫العائالت‬.‫عرور‬‫الز‬ ‫أغصان‬ ‫في‬ ‫النار‬ ‫ل‬ ‫وبعد‬ ‫بالغناء‬ ‫فرد‬ ‫كل‬ ‫ويقوم‬ َ‫ع‬ْ‫ش‬ُ‫ت‬ ،‫اءة‬‫ر‬‫الق‬.‫السنة‬ ‫عرور‬‫الز‬ ‫احترق‬ ‫إذا‬ ‫الرماد‬ ‫حتى‬ ‫جيدة‬ ‫ستكون‬ ‫المقبلة‬‫فإ‬ ‫جيد‬ ‫حظ‬ ‫وفيها‬ ‫ن‬.‫وعندما‬ ‫تنطفىء‬‫عل‬ ‫ات‬‫ر‬‫م‬ ‫ثالث‬ ‫الرماد‬ ‫فوق‬ ‫بالقفز‬ ‫شخص‬ ‫كل‬ ‫يقوم‬ ‫النار‬ ‫ساحة‬ ‫في‬ ‫ى‬‫أخر‬ ‫نار‬ ْ‫ش‬ٌ‫ت‬ ‫الميالد‬ ‫عيد‬ ‫يوم‬ ‫وفي‬ ،‫أمنية‬ ‫ويتمنى‬ ‫الكنيسة‬.‫المسيح‬ ‫الطفل‬ ‫ة‬‫ر‬‫صو‬ ‫يحمل‬ ‫وهو‬ ‫الصالة‬ ‫ان‬‫ر‬‫المط‬ ‫ويقود‬ ‫السالم‬ ‫عليه‬.‫ثم‬ ‫ومن‬ ،‫بلمسته‬ ‫األشخاص‬ ‫أحد‬ ‫على‬ ‫ينعم‬ ‫ثم‬ ‫ومن‬ ‫هذه‬ ‫تنتقل‬ ‫وهكذا‬ ‫بجانبه‬ ‫الذي‬ ‫الشخص‬ ‫الشخص‬ ‫ذلك‬ ‫يلمس‬ ‫ى‬ ‫ينعم‬ ‫حتى‬ ‫اللمسة‬"‫السالم‬ ‫لمسة‬".
  • 7. In Egypt, everyone is supposed to go out and buy some new clothes that have never been worn before Christmas. They are to wear them to a church service on Christmas Eve that lasts until the church bells ring at midnight. Then everyone heads home for a special Christmas dinner that consists of bread, rice, garlic, and boiled meat. ‫في‬ َ‫ب‬ْ‫ل‬ُ‫ت‬ ‫ال‬ ‫جديدة‬ ‫مالبس‬ ‫اء‬‫ر‬‫بش‬ ‫س‬ ‫شخص‬ ‫كل‬ ‫يقوم‬ ،‫مصر‬ ‫في‬ ‫ق‬ ‫عشية‬ ‫الكنيسة‬ ‫في‬ ‫الصالة‬ ‫إلى‬ َّ‫إال‬ ‫ذهابهم‬ ‫عند‬ ‫الميالد‬ ‫عيد‬ ‫منتصف‬ ‫في‬ ‫الكنيسة‬ َّ‫د‬ُ‫ت‬ ‫حتى‬ ‫تستمر‬ ‫التي‬‫و‬ ‫الميالد‬ ‫عيد‬ ‫اس‬‫ر‬‫أج‬ ‫الليل‬.‫خاص‬ ‫عشاء‬ ‫لتناول‬ ‫بيته‬ ‫إلى‬ ‫شخص‬ ‫كل‬ ‫يتوجه‬ ‫ثم‬ ‫ومن‬ ‫المسلوق‬ ‫اللحم‬‫و‬ ‫الثوم‬‫و‬ ‫األرز‬‫و‬ ‫الخبز‬ ‫من‬ ‫يتكون‬. In Lebanon the preparations for Christmas begin about two weeks before Christmas when the Lebanese plant seeds of peas, beans, wheat, and lentils into cotton-wool balls. At Christmas the seedlings have grown to a height of about 15 centimeters. The Lebanese decorate mangers mostly made out of brown paper with these seedlings. A star is fixed above the biblical scene. ‫وذلك‬ ‫بأسبوعين‬ ‫قدومه‬ ‫قبل‬ ‫الميالد‬ ‫لعيد‬ ‫التحضير‬ ‫يبدأ‬ ،‫لبنان‬ ‫في‬ ‫قطنية‬ ‫ات‬‫ر‬‫ك‬ ‫في‬ ‫العدس‬‫و‬ ‫القمح‬‫و‬ ‫الفول‬‫و‬ ‫الء‬‫ز‬‫البا‬ ‫لبذور‬ ‫اعتهم‬‫ر‬‫بز‬ ‫صوفية‬.‫الي‬‫و‬‫ح‬ ‫طولها‬ ‫ويصل‬ ‫البذور‬ ‫هذه‬ ‫تنبت‬ ‫الميالد‬ ‫عيد‬ ‫وبحلول‬ ‫الورق‬ ‫من‬ ‫مصنوعة‬ ‫مذاود‬ ‫عادة‬ ‫اللبنانيون‬ ‫ين‬‫ز‬‫ي‬ ،‫ا‬‫ر‬‫سنتمت‬ ‫عشر‬ ‫خمسة‬ ‫اللوحة‬ ‫هذه‬ ‫على‬ ‫نجمة‬ ‫بتثبيت‬ ‫يقومون‬ ‫وعادة‬ ‫النباتات‬ ‫بهذه‬ ‫البني‬.
  • 8. In Bethlehem, Palestine, the little town where Jesus was born, is the site of the Church of the Nativity, which is ablaze with flags and decorations every Christmas. On Christmas Eve natives and visitors alike crowd the church’s doorways and stand on the roof to watch for the dramatic annual procession. Galloping horsemen and police mounted on Arabian horses lead the parade. They are followed by a solitary horseman carrying a cross and sitting astride a coal-black steed. Then come the churchmen and government officials. The procession solemnly enters the doors and places an ancient effigy of the Holy Child in the church. Deep winding stairs lead to a grotto where visitors find a silver star marking the site of the Christ child’s birth. ‫المسيح‬ ‫السيد‬ ‫فيها‬ ‫ولد‬ ‫التي‬ ‫ة‬‫ر‬‫الصغي‬ ‫المدينة‬ ‫تلك‬ ،‫فلسطين‬ ،‫لحم‬ ‫بيت‬ ‫في‬ ‫ميالد‬ ‫عيد‬ ‫كل‬ ‫في‬ ‫تعج‬ ‫التي‬‫و‬ ‫الميالد‬ ‫كنيسة‬ ‫من‬ ‫بالقرب‬.‫عيد‬ ‫عشية‬ ‫في‬ ‫بمعنى‬ ‫كلمات‬ ‫لحم‬ ‫بيت‬ ‫اطنو‬‫و‬‫م‬ ‫احم‬‫ز‬‫يت‬ ‫الميالد‬:‫اب‬‫و‬‫أب‬ ‫على‬ ‫ويجلس‬ ‫حيث‬ ‫السنوي‬ ‫التمثيلي‬ ‫الموكب‬ ‫ليشاهدون‬ ‫السطح‬ ‫إلى‬ ‫ويصعدون‬ ‫الكنيسة‬ ،‫اض‬‫ر‬‫اإلستع‬ ‫ويقودون‬ ‫بية‬‫ر‬‫الع‬ ‫األحصنة‬ ‫يمتطون‬ ‫الشرطة‬ ‫ورجال‬ ‫الفرسان‬ ‫األسود‬ ‫اده‬‫و‬‫ج‬ ‫جلس‬ ‫الصليب‬ ‫ة‬‫ر‬‫إشا‬ ‫يحمل‬ ‫منفرد‬ ‫فارس‬ ‫يتبعهم‬.،‫ذلك‬ ‫بعد‬ ‫من‬ ‫الوقور‬ ‫الموكب‬ ‫ويدخل‬ ‫الحكومة‬ ‫وموظفو‬ ‫الكنيسة‬ ‫وي‬ ‫رجال‬ ‫يأتي‬ ‫الكنيسة‬ ‫في‬ ‫المسيح‬ ‫للطفل‬ ‫ة‬‫ر‬‫صو‬ ‫ويضعون‬ ‫اب‬‫و‬‫األب‬.‫اللولبي‬ ‫ج‬‫الدر‬ ‫يقود‬ ‫الطفل‬ ‫فيه‬ ‫ولد‬ ‫الذي‬ ‫المكان‬ ‫إلى‬ ‫تشير‬ ‫فضية‬ ‫نجمة‬ ‫ار‬‫و‬‫الز‬ ‫يجد‬ ‫حيث‬ ‫المسيح‬.
  • 9. In many countries, nativity scenes are displayed to remind everyone of the birth of Jesus. In Italy, the family prays as the mother puts the figure of the baby Jesus in the manger. ‫الناس‬ ‫لتذكير‬ ‫الميالد‬ ‫مشاهد‬ ‫اد‬ُ‫تع‬ ،‫البلدان‬ ‫من‬ ‫العديد‬ ‫في‬ ‫السالم‬ ‫عليه‬ ‫المسيح‬ ‫بمولد‬.‫العائلة‬ ‫تصلي‬ ،‫إيطاليا‬ ‫في‬ ‫المذود‬ ‫على‬ ‫الطفل‬ ‫ع‬‫ليسو‬ ‫ة‬‫ر‬‫صو‬ ‫بوضع‬ ‫األم‬ ‫تقوم‬ ‫بينما‬.

  • 10. And there is the Christmas tree, of course. There is considerable speculation as to how and when the evergreen became a symbol of Christmas, but many believe it can be traced to medieval Germany, where the Paradeisbaum, or Paradise tree, a type of evergreen, was decorated with red apples and used in a popular play about Adam and Eve that was put on at Christmastime. The fact that the tree is always green symbolizes the eternal life that God promises to those that believe in Him. ‫الميالد‬ ‫عيد‬ ‫ة‬‫ر‬‫شج‬ ‫ننسى‬ ‫ال‬ ،‫وبالطبع‬.‫ة‬‫ر‬‫شج‬ ‫فيه‬ ‫رمز‬ ‫عن‬ ‫تساؤل‬ ‫هناك‬ ‫الميالد‬ ‫عيد‬ ‫إلى‬ ‫ة‬‫ر‬‫الخض‬ ‫دائمة‬ ُ‫ت‬ ‫الذي‬ ‫السبب‬.‫الكثيرون‬ ‫يعتقد‬ ‫لكن‬ ‫ن‬ ‫ة‬‫ر‬‫شج‬ ‫كانت‬ ‫حيث‬ ‫ألمانيا‬ ‫في‬ ‫الوسطى‬ ‫القرون‬ ‫من‬ ‫موروث‬ ‫تقليد‬ ‫أنه‬ ‫في‬ ً‫ا‬‫دائم‬ ‫ستعمل‬ ّ‫ي‬‫ز‬ُ‫ت‬ ‫ة‬‫ر‬‫الخض‬ ‫دائمة‬ ‫األشجار‬ ‫من‬ ‫الجنة‬ ‫بالتفاح‬ ‫العامة‬ ‫لدى‬ ُ‫وت‬ ‫األحمر‬ ‫اء‬‫و‬‫وح‬ ‫آدم‬ ‫مسرحية‬.‫كانت‬ ،‫الحقيقة‬ ‫وفي‬ ‫المؤمنين‬ ‫اهلل‬ ‫وعد‬ ‫التي‬ ‫األبدية‬ ‫الحياة‬ ‫إلى‬ ً‫ا‬‫دائم‬ ‫ترمز‬ ‫ة‬‫ر‬‫الشج‬ ‫ة‬‫ر‬‫خض‬ ‫بها‬.
  • 11. Perhaps the most widespread of all Christmas traditions—the giving of gifts to loved ones—has its roots in the gifts the wise men from Mesopotamia, present day Iraq, presented to Jesus. They had seen a sign in the heavens that signaled His birth, and they went to honor Him. In those days, travel was not easy. It probably took the wise men about two years of preparation and travel before they arrived in Palestine and were able to give their gifts. The gifts the wise men gave were gold, frankincense, and myrrh— the best their kingdoms had to offer. ً‫ا‬‫ر‬‫انتشا‬ ‫لمن‬ ‫الهدايا‬ ‫تقديم‬ ‫هي‬ ‫الميالد‬ ‫عيد‬ ‫عادات‬ ‫أكثر‬ ‫إن‬ ‫ا‬‫و‬‫قدم‬ ‫حكماء‬ ‫رجال‬ ‫قدمها‬ ‫التي‬ ‫الهدايا‬ ‫إلى‬ ‫تعود‬ ‫وهي‬ ،‫نحب‬ ‫السالم‬ ‫عليه‬ ‫المسيح‬ ‫الطفل‬ ‫إلى‬ ‫ين‬‫ر‬‫النه‬ ‫بين‬ ‫ما‬ ‫بالالالد‬ ‫من‬. ‫ا‬‫و‬‫وذهب‬ ‫الدته‬‫و‬‫ب‬ َّ‫بش‬ ‫التي‬ ‫ات‬‫و‬‫السما‬ ‫في‬ ‫العالمة‬ ‫ا‬‫و‬‫أ‬‫ر‬ ‫لقد‬ ‫رت‬ ‫برؤيته‬ ‫ا‬‫و‬‫ليتطهر‬.‫استغرقت‬‫و‬ ً‫ا‬‫صعب‬ ‫األيام‬ ‫تلك‬ ‫في‬ ‫السفر‬ ‫كان‬ ‫هداياهم‬ ‫ا‬‫و‬‫وقدم‬ ‫فلسطين‬ ‫إلى‬ ‫ا‬‫و‬‫وصل‬ ‫حتى‬ ‫عامين‬ ‫رحلتهم‬. ‫أفضل‬ ‫وهي‬ ‫الصمغ‬‫و‬ ‫البخور‬‫و‬ ‫الذهب‬ ‫من‬ ‫الهدايا‬ ‫هذه‬ ‫كانت‬ ‫بالدهم‬ ‫في‬ ‫المنتجات‬.
  • 12. But why all these traditions? Let’s travel back to the first Christmas Eve, where some shepherds are taking care of their flocks on a hillside near Bethlehem. A bright light bursts forth and angels announce the birth of Jesus in song. The shepherds are so excited that they run and tell everyone they can about what just happened. Imagine the joy that Mary and Joseph experience when they hold the baby in their arms! No matter what Christmas traditions we hold dear, that same unspeakable joy found in the love God sent to the world that very first Christmas, can still be felt today by all those who open their hearts to it. With that love and joy in our hearts we can truly celebrate Christmas. ‫كان‬ ‫عندما‬ ‫ميالد‬ ‫عيد‬ ‫أول‬ ‫عشية‬ ‫إلى‬ ‫لنعد‬ ‫التقاليد؟‬ ‫هذه‬ ‫كل‬ ‫لماذا‬ ‫لكن‬ ‫أعلنت‬‫و‬ ‫أمامهم‬ ‫المع‬ ‫نور‬ ‫قرب‬ ‫تلة‬ ‫على‬ ‫ماشيتهم‬ ‫بقطعان‬ ‫يعتنون‬ ‫عاة‬‫الر‬ ،‫لحم‬ ‫بيت‬ ‫المالئكة‬‫ش‬ ‫ع‬‫السالم‬ ‫عليه‬ ‫المسيح‬ ‫مولد‬.‫عاة‬‫الر‬ ‫كان‬ ،‫حدث‬ ‫يوسف‬ ‫بها‬ ‫بما‬ ‫الناس‬ ‫ويخبرون‬ ‫يركضون‬ ‫ا‬‫و‬‫أخذ‬‫و‬ ‫أوه‬‫ر‬ ‫لما‬ ‫مندهشين‬ ‫أيديهم‬ ‫بين‬ ‫الطفل‬ ‫حمال‬ ‫عندما‬ ‫يم‬‫ر‬‫وم‬ َّ‫مر‬ ‫التي‬ ‫بة‬‫ر‬‫التج‬ ‫عظمة‬ ‫ل‬َّ‫تخي‬! ‫البهجة‬ ‫فإن‬ ،‫بها‬ ‫نعتز‬ ‫التي‬ ‫الميالد‬ ‫لعيد‬ ‫افقة‬‫ر‬‫الم‬ ‫العادات‬ ‫كانت‬ ‫مهما‬ ،‫ميالد‬ ‫عيد‬ ‫أول‬ ‫في‬ ‫للعالم‬ ‫أرسلها‬ ‫التي‬ ‫اهلل‬ ‫محبة‬ ‫في‬ ‫الكامنة‬ ‫الحقيقية‬ ‫لها‬ ‫قلوبنا‬ ‫نفتح‬ ‫عندما‬ ‫بها‬ ‫نشعر‬ ‫أن‬ ‫يمكن‬.‫في‬ ‫الموجودة‬ ‫البهجة‬‫و‬ ‫وبالمحبة‬ ‫الميالد‬ ‫بعيد‬ ً‫ا‬‫حق‬ ‫نحتفل‬ ‫قلوبنا‬.
