The Christmas Oratorio (German: Weihnachtsoratorium), BWV 248, is an oratorio by Johann Sebastian Bach intended for performance in church during the Christmas season.It is in six parts, each part a cantata intended for performance in a church service on a feast day of the Christmas period.
The cantata is Bach's earliest extant cantata for Christmas Day, possibly composed in Weimar as early as 1713.
