    Christians around the World celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ on Christmas Day.

    On this day, Christians gather to commemorate the nativity of Jesus.

    With an estimated population of around 2.6 billion, Christianity is undoubtedly the largest religion on earth at 31 per cent followed by Islam at 24 per cent.

    Christmas is celebrated in predominantly Christian countries like the UK, the USA, and most of their colonies.

    But, did you know that not all countries out of the 206 in the world celebrate this day?

    Ethiopia and 10 others for example celebrate this day on January 7 every year.
