Christmas是Christ和Mass两字组成,意思是Mass (弥撒)for Christ. 耶稣诞辰圣经新约有描述,没有提供日子。四世纪罗马教庭把罗马日历的冬至(也就是公历12月25日)定为Nativitatis(拉丁语“诞生”natum 延伸词),英文本名叫Feast of the Nativity (nativity=birth),现通称Christmas. Christide 是Christmas time 或Christmas season 的正式说法。就象复活节Easter季节也叫 Eastertide. 圣诞季节传统有12天(12 days of Christmas)。按基督教日历,Christide 从平安夜(Christmas Eve)开始,到第十二个晚上(叫Epiphany Eve 即第二年一月五日日落后)结束。 “Christmas:” Christ’s Mass.教皇Francis主持的Christmas Eve 弥撒 形形色色的圣诞歌曲,从中世纪到现在,下面选6曲介绍。 (毗陵居士2020年圣诞)
拉丁语 O magnum mysterium, et admirabile sacramentum, ut animalia viderent Dominum natum, jacentem in praesepio! Beata Virgo, cujus viscera meruerunt portare Dominum Christum. Alleluia.
英文 O great mystery, and wonderful sacrament, that animals should see the new-born Lord, lying in a manger! Blessed is the Virgin whose womb was worthy to bear Christ the Lord. Alleluia!
Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht, Alles schläft; einsam wacht Nur das traute hochheilige Paar. Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar, Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh! Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!(德语原文1818年)
Silent night! Holy night! All is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin mother and child! Holy infant, so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace! Sleep in heavenly peace!(英文1859年译)

https://www.youtube.com/embed/Mj-VjllnBvc 近几十年来随着西方社会的世俗化(secularization), 有很多没有宗教色彩的圣诞歌曲出现,比方The Beatles成员Paul McCartney的“Wonderful Christmastime”, 象中国新春音乐一样,唱的只是“eat, drink, be merry”的喜庆气氛,没有什么宗教色彩。

你孩子好聪明还学拉丁语(不知道在什么地方)。拉丁语我在美国只有在天主教堂听到过,以前大学合唱团唱过拉丁语。英文和拉丁文象现代汉语与古汉语,基本意思可以猜一猜。O Come Ye Faithful (Adeste Fideles)拉丁原文:
Adeste fideles laeti triumphantes Venite, venite in Bethlehem Natum videte regem angelorum Venite, adoremus, Venite, adoremus, Venite, adoremus, dominum! Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine, Gestant puellae viscera Deum verum, genitum non factum. Venite, adoremus, Venite, adoremus, Venite, adoremus, dominum! Gloria in excelsis Deo! Venite, adoremus, Venite, adoremus, Venite, adoremus, dominum!
刚刚问她第一首,她说只知道et是you are,哈哈哈,就学了几个月,在wyzant上和老师学的。
哈哈😄,有没有看我下面的英文翻译
是,发觉大多数圣诞音乐,即使是没有宗教色彩的,也能使我感到很平安的感觉
