The Meaning of Christmas
"Christmas" signifies "Christ's Mass," meaning the festival of the
Nativity of Christ, and the word has been variously spelt at
different periods. The following are obsolete forms of it found in
old English writings: Crystmasse, Cristmes, Cristmas, Crestenmes,
Crestenmas, Cristemes, Cristynmes, Crismas, Kyrsomas, Xtemas,
Cristesmesse, Cristemasse, Crystenmas, Crystynmas, Chrystmas,
Chrystemes, Chrystemasse, Chrystymesse, Cristenmas, Christenmas,
Christmass, Christmes. Christmas has also been called Noël or Nowel.
As to the derivation of the word Noël, some say it is a contraction
of the French nouvelles meaning tidings, les bonnes nouvelles, that
is "The good news of the Gospel"; others take it as an abbreviation
of the Latin dies natalis meaning "the birthday." |
