Second day of Christmas or Boxing Day in English, or zweiter Weihnachtsfeiertag in German, translated into English as "second day of Christmas", is the Christmas tradition that in some countries takes place on December 26.
Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated mainly in the United Kingdom and other nations that belonged to the British Empire. In Germany, Central Europe and Northern European countries it is celebrated on the "second day of Christmas". In some of these countries it is a public holiday. It is usually celebrated on December 26, and during the date donations and gifts to the poor are encouraged.
In the liturgical calendar of Western Christianity, December 26 is the second day of Christmas and also St. Stephen's Day.
The term Boxing Day is associated with the need for people to get rid of Christmas gift wrapping the next day.
Its origin dates back to the Middle Ages. It has been suggested that after Christmas the noble classes gave Christmas hampers, boxes or baskets with food and fruit to their servants. It has also been proposed that on this day priests would bring out boxes of previously made charitable donations. Another theory indicates that on December 26 employees and apprentices went to their jobs with a box in which the employer deposited money. At the end of the day, the employees divided the money, which constituted a kind of Christmas bonus.
