A certain festival is also called as X, due to the fact that the former part of the festival's name corresponds with the greek letter for the same, hence the "X".
The latter part of said festival's common name comes from comes from the Old English word for mass, a church service.
The exact date of this festival is often debated.
The present date, chosen to be hardly a week before the year resets, is to coincide with pre existing pagan festivals, such as the “birthday of the unconquered sun” which shows the return of light, close to a solstice.
Which festival?
What name, that became a popular short form for this festival in texting?
