Katolska och protestantiska : Since pre-historic times in Europe, festivities (bonfires, offrerings) were marking the beginning of longer hours of daylight with fires and ritual. The Roman festival of Saturnalia lasted several days in December (gambling and offerings). Germanic tribes also celebrated mid-winter (drinking and rituals). The Bulgarian (with Koleduvane) and the Polish (with Gwiazdka) perpetuate this tradition. Jesus of Nazareth was probably born in springtime (Reformists favour autumn). But in the 4th century, December 25th was chosen for the celebration of his birth by Pope Julius I (Bishop Liberus is also mentioned in 354 A.D.). Thus, a Christian element was introduced in the long-established mid-winter festivals. Before 1582, the Papal States and other Italian city states celebrated New Year’s Day on Christmas Day

kultur : Bechtelistag Frauenfeld: Berchtold's Day marks a custom which dates back to the Middle Ages. Shortly after the town of Frauenfeld was founded in the middle of the thirteenth century, nobles and members of the higher classes of society started to socialise regularly. They called themselves the Constables' Association . In 1430 another association was formed by tradesmen, who named themselves Zum wilden Mann ( The Savage Man ) and also ran their own drinking establishment. In 1640 the two associations combined into one, creating a new association which owned goods, granted loans and collected interest. Members met at the beginning of the year for the presentation of the accounts and to celebrate with food and drink. www.lebendige-traditionen.ch

kultur : Förbudet gäller alla större religiösa högtider, men gäller inte hemma

Katolska och protestantiska : Första konciliet i Nicaea (biskopar möte i tidig sortkristendomen) ville hitta en dag att fira korsfästelsen och uppståndelsen av Christ, högtidlighållandet var kopplas till traditionen av de judiska helgdagarna, eftersom den sista måltiden Kristi ansågs vara den judiska påsken. Men den judiska kalendern är baserad på cykler av månen och solen, så högtiden för Herrens Påsk fick samma kalender.

Katolska och protestantiska : Datum för påsken fastställdes under året 325. Denna fest beräknas enligt månkalendern.
