In your own opinion, which Holy Day is more important, the Day of Our Lords' Birth, the Day He died, or the Day He rose from the dead? For the non-believers, please don't waste yours or my time by responding. Thank-you!

Since we are buried in Baptism which symbolizes the death, burial and ressurection of our Lord,
And we partake of the Lord's Supper every first day of the week as commanded to remember Christ's death on the Cross and His body and blood that was shed for us....
I would say the death and ressurection of Christ are very important.
When Jesus was born, The Messiah had arrived
While Christ lived he gave the New Testament
When Christ died The New Testament became effective. The Old Testament died and is no longer in effect.
When Christ rose on the third day , The last enemy "death" was conquered.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me, and the life that I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.
Christian in Pa.
God Bless,
In Christian love,

All three have great importance, but in my opinion it is the day He was born. That day marks the beginning of God's understanding of us as mankind! We are a complecated people, and when God chose to come down and live among us as Jesus Christ, He signified to us that He loved us and wanted a better understanding of us! Had He not been born a man, He would never have died nor risen from the dead. Merry Christmas!

For me personally it is the Day He rose from the dead. Without that day....His birth or His death would have probably not been as significant or recorded for so long had he not proven that he was indeed the Messiah by rising from the dead.

Depends on ones perspective, I guess. As they are all interlinked one is really no more important than the other.
If he weren't born he couldn't have died nor could he have rose from the dead.
But he could have been born and done none of the others, that might make the last the most important.

Imho, The Day of Our Lord's Birth should be the most holiest of days. His birth is the fulfillment of God's promise to send a Savior for all of humankind.

Well, from a non-believers standpoint, there is no reason to place importance on any of those days for those reasons. Place importance on today and tomorrow because you are alive and these moments are precious. Yesterday is also important because it is something to learn from. However, do not place importance on a day because you think something magical happened on that day centuries or millenia ago. Besides, how do you know that these events happened on the specific days you think they happened on. It is more likely that these days were arbitrarily given the importance you think they have.

The day He rose!! If there is no resurrection then there is no reason for His birth or death. If He did not rise then as Paul said, "We are to be pitied above all men."

Definitely the day of his birth. Soome people say that Christmas Eve is his birth *the 24'th of Dec* some people just say it is Christmas..
Anyways, Tata

The resurrection is the most important Christian event in history.. The only day that will ever eclipse it will be when we are all resurrected and in Glory worshiping our God....Jim
