Countries in the Middle East are known as Muslim-majority countries. However, the Middle East is also home to tens of millions of Christians in the world.
Like Christmas in Western countries, Christmas is also celebrated throughout the Middle East in some way, although not all countries in the region mark it as a public holiday. It is noted that only five of the 22 member countries of the Arab League, namely Sudan, Syria, Jordan, Iraq and Lebanon, recognize Christmas as an official holiday.
Christmas celebrations in the Middle East are influenced by the various cultures and religions found in the region. There, Christmas is mainly celebrated by Christians who adhere to Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant traditions. Every country in the Middle East has its own unique culture and customs for celebrating Christmas.
