Cattolica o Protestante : Festività della nascità di Gesù. dato alla luce dalla Vergine Maria, Gesù è allo stesso tempo figlio di Dio e dell'uomo. Fin dai tempi preistorici in Europa, le feste (con falò, rituali e regali) segnavano l'inizio delle giornate più lunghe. La festa romana di Saturnalia durava molti giorni nel mese di dicembre. Le tribù tedesche celebravano anche il pieno inverno con bevande e rituali. I Bulgari ( con Koleduvane) e i Polacchi (con Gwiazdka) continuano questa tradizione. Gesù nacque probabilmente in primavera( secondo i riformisti in Autunno). Nel IV secolo fu scelto il 25 Dicembre per festeggiare la nascita del Papa Giulio I (Si parla anche del vascovo Liberus nel 354 A.C.). Così, fu introdotto un elemento cristiano durante le antichissime feste d'inverno. Prima del 1852, gli Stati Papali e altre città italiane celebravano il Capodanno il giorno di Natale.
