Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Christmas is the time at which the birth of Christ is celebrated by Christians around the world. Who was Jesus' mother?

Answer: Mary

Most Christians believe that Mary was a virgin when she became pregnant with Jesus. Catholics in particular believe that Mary was the Immaculate Conception, meaning that she was born without original sin.

2. Following the Bible tradition of the Christmas story, in which place was there no room for Jesus' mother to have her baby?

Answer: Inn

Luke 2:7 (King James Version) reads "And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn."

3. This Christmas symbol is often found on top of a Christmas tree. What is it?

Answer: Star

In Biblical tradition the star represents the star that the wise men followed to see baby Jesus. It is also a symbol of light.

4. According to tradition, how many wise men were there?

Answer: Three

Tradition says there were three wise men (or kings as they were also known). However it does not say this in the Bible; the tradition arose because of the three gifts given to the Christ child: gold, frankincense and myrrh. Tradition also says they were named Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar.

5. In the Christmas song "12 Days of Christmas", what gift was given on the 9th day of Christmas?

Answer: Ladies dancing

It was 12 drummers drumming, 5 golden rings and 4 calling birds. This refers to a light-hearted song about a true love that sent all these things and more on each of the "12 Days of Christmas".

6. This is another name given to Jesus in the Bible that relates to the Christmas story. What name means "God with us"?

Answer: Emmanuel

It says in the King James Version of Matthew 1:23 "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us". Sometimes Emmanuel is also spelled Immanuel.

7. Many people put this item on their Christmas tree. What is it?

Answer: Tinsel

Tinsel was apparently first used in around 1610. It consists of shiny metallic-like strands that resemble icicles.

8. What Christmas carol talks about the town where Jesus was from?

Answer: O Little Town of Bethlehem

"O Little Town of Bethlehem" was written by Phillips Brooks. The music was written by Lewis Redner. The song was published around 1865.

9. According to another Christmas tradition, who helps Santa make the toys?

Answer: elves

It is believed Santa and the elves live in the North Pole where they make the toys for all the good little boys and girls. The elves can be seen in the Christmas cartoon "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer".

10. The first letter of each of the previous nine questions spells out a word that is traditionally a plant hung at Christmas time. What is it?

Answer: mistletoe

Traditionally if two people are caught under the mistletoe they have to kiss. This is slightly ironic, as mistletoe berries are poisonous and could be deadly if a person eats them.
