Both Christmas and Easter were pagan holidays that were not celebrated by the Church, until the Romans gained control of the Church in 325 A.D. December 25th has nothing to do with Christ's birth, instead it is the Roman goddess Saturn's birthday. Easter is holiday named in honor of Estore the Anglo-Saxon goddess of Spring. Knowing this history, shouldn't Christians take a stand against these pagan observances? What does a decorated tree, snow and Santa Claus have to with Christ? What does a Bunny, colored eggs, hot cross buns have to with Christ? Even more puzzling, what does Good Friday have to do with Christ? By the way he did not die on Friday, he was crucified in the middle of the week, and was and the grave for 3 days and 3 nights just as the scripture states, just as Jonah was in the belly of the fish for 3 days and 3 nights. He was crucified on Wednesday at around 3:00 PM and arose Saturday Evening after sundown. His Grave was discovered empty early Sunday Morning.
