Legend has it that on the night of the birth of Jesus, shepherds who were guarding their flocks in the wilderness suddenly heard a voice from heaven telling them about the birth of Jesus. According to the Bible, Jesus came to the world to be the king of the world and to become a person that everyone believed in. Therefore, angels spread the news to more people through these shepherds. As a result, more people knew that Jesus was about to be born.

Later, people imitated this angel and went around to publicize the day of the birth of Jesus. So people began to preach the news of the birth of Jesus everywhere on Christmas Eve. To this day, it has evolved into the activity of reporting good news. And this activity gradually spread, and it gradually became what people call Christmas Eve, that is, Christmas Eve. Therefore, the night of December 24th is traditionally called "Christmas Eve"
