Boxing Day was traditionally a day for servants and tradespeople to receive gifts from their employers or customers. In modern times, it has become a day for giving to those less fortunate, such as the homeless or needy.

So why is it called Boxing Day? There are a few theories…

One theory is that it’s so named because churches would open their alms boxes on this day and distribute the contents to the poor.

Another theory suggests that it’s named after the boxing match between James Figg and Jack Broughton – two of the earliest English bare-knuckle boxers – which took place on December 26th, 1734.

Whatever the origins of its name, Boxing Day is now a cherished holiday in many parts of the world.
