Can there be a Christmas without Boxing Day?
To share
Boxing Day. Have you ever wondered what this holiday is all about?
Spoiler: it has nothing to do with sport or boxing. It dates back to the Victorian era, which gave us many cherished Christmas traditions.
- Why is it called Boxing Day?
The name comes from a time during Queen Victoria's reign when the wealthy would box presents for the poor. It was also a day off for servants, who received a special Christmas box from their masters.
- Religious connections
The 26th of December is celebrated as Saint Stephen's Day in Ireland and Catalonia, and as a second Christmas Day in several European countries.
- Christian tradition
Churches contributed to Boxing Day by collecting donations from parishioners, which were often kept in a box that was opened on Christmas Day and given to the needy the following day.
- Spirit of generosity
Today such boxes are less common, but some people still leave extra money in their letterboxes for workers, such as postmen, and call it a Christmas box.
Boxing Day reminds us of the importance of kindness and giving
