Birth of the God - man the Christian world celebrates for ages. The meaning of the word Christmas as a little God in Christianity means that the God is available and accessible to every man. By the end of the 4th century, Christmas was celebrated on 6th January but then was moved to the 25th December in order to suppressed, since the Emperor Aurelius (270-275), introduced Roman feast of Natalis Solis Invicti.
Christians considered a day of the Jesus' birth as the day of the New Year. In the period of renewed Western Roman Empire almost in whole Europe the beginning of the new year was at Christmas. In 1691 Church accepted the 1st January as the New Year. Christmas and New Year's customs have been shaped through centuries under the influence of different nations and regions. They are common throughout Christian world but each region breathed something of their own and made them recognizable.
