Christmas the Holidays exquisite christmas ball background material about opinion Christmas tree

[mas (literally, the Mass of Christ) is a holiday in the Christian calendar, usually observed on December 25, which celebrates the birth of Jesus. According to the Christian gospels, Jesus was born to Mary in Bethlehem, where she and her husband Joseph had traveled to register in the Roman census. Christ's birth, or nativity, was to fulfill the prophecies of Judaism that a messiah would come, from the house of David, to redeem the world from sin. Early Christians celebrated more the subsequent Epiphany, when the baby Jesus was visited by the Magi (and this is still a primary time for celebration in Spain). Efforts to assign a date for his birth, though better known from Writings from some centuries later, would have been important to all Christians then, no less than now. The precise chronology of Jesus' birth and death as well as the historicity of Jesus are still debated. See more at Wikipedia.org...]

>For other uses, see Ball (disambiguation). A ball is a round object that is used most often in sports and games.

In most games using balls, the play of the game follows the state of the ball as it is hit, kicked, or thrown by players. See more at Wikipedia.org...
