What is the origin of Christmas Eve?Legend has it that on the night of Jesus' birth, shepherds who were watching their sheep in the wilderness suddenly heard a voice from heaven telling them the news of Jesus' birth.According to the Bible, Jesus came to the world to be the king of the world and to be believed by everyone, so the angels spread the message to more people through these shepherds. Then more people knew that Jesus was about to be born. Later, people imitated the angel and spread the date of Jesus' birth everywhere. So people spread the news of Jesus' birth everywhere on Christmas Eve. Until today, it has evolved into the activity of announcing the good news. This activity was gradually passed down, and slowly became what people call Christmas Eve, so the night of December 24 is traditionally called "Christmas Eve". Expanded content---The meaning of burning incense has four aspects: 1. To show sincere and respectful offerings to the Three Jewels, and to demonstrate and guide sentient beings. 2. It means transmitting information to the void Dharma Realm and gaining blessings from the Three Treasures in all directions. 3. It means burning oneself to spread fragrance to all directions, reminding Buddhist disciples to make selfless contributions. 4. It means that the Buddhists' precepts, concentration and true incense have been lit, which contains the silent vow to "diligently cultivate precepts, concentration and wisdom, and extinguish greed, noise and ignorance". The Buddha does not like the big and expensive incense in the world, but he likes the precepts, concentration, truth and incense of his disciples. It is best to burn three incense sticks. This represents the three non-leakage studies of precepts, concentration and wisdom; it also represents the offerings to the permanent Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. This is the most complete and civilized way of burning incense and offering. It is not the number of incense sticks you burn that matters, but the sincerity of your heart. As the saying goes, "Burn three civilized incense sticks and offer a sincere heart." Generally, it is enough to light three incense sticks in front of the main hall. After lighting the incense, they should be inserted in the middle of the incense burner. The first incense stick should be inserted in the middle, and you should silently recite in your heart: offering to the Buddha, awakening and not being confused; the second incense stick should be inserted on the right, and you should silently recite in your heart: offering to the Dharma, being righteous and not evil; the third incense stick should be inserted on the left, and you should silently recite in your heart: offering to the monks, being pure and not being tainted.
