Sisterzeal answered a Christimas question with saying she'll be celebrating Hannaka. When I think about it, that would make much more sense as Jesus was Jewish. Wouldn't it make more sense to celebrate on Jewish holidays instead of Pagan? I'm asking in all seriousness.

well heck why not just cover all the holidays just in case.. you would hate to die and realize you were all along suppose to be celebrating some other kind of holiday.. don't expect to get all the days off though.
In all seriousness the Christian holidays all fall within the original Pagan Holiday time frame. if you want the taste of true religion.... Paganism was first.

Not that I care that they celebrate Pagan holidays (it just annoys me when they deny that they are Pagan in origin), but it does make more sense that they would celebrate Jewish Holidays - especially Passover, as that is actually when the Last Supper was held according to the Bible.
The typo-fairy left my keyboard and went to yours. I've been making mistakes all day *sigh*

Yes! The 5 Jewish holidays are part of the Masaic law. Other such as Hanankah and Purim are not part of the Mosaic law (the Mosaic law was done away with when Christ died on the cross near Jerusalem centuries ago).. At least 3, of the mosaic law holidays (Passover, Pentecost, and 'new year') are also given to the Christians. I would (friendly) bet currently, that so are the other 2.

there is not any such factor as "godly" trip journeys. the only day Christ asked all his disciples to show screen grow to be his dying on (the old) Jewish lunar calendar "Nisan 14" reported in Luke 22:19. each trip journeys you do will signify your self in James 4:4. think of roughly this. If Christ arms you a cup of organic wine and your chum got here visiting and drop a drop of blood on your wine which contaminated with Aids, might you communicate approximately eating it? in case you faucet into the strategies of Christ, you will discover out that one and all synthetic trip journeys or different time dropping events are to entice a guy or woman faraway from doing God's will.

I love holidays. I don't care where they originated from but then again I am agnostic.
This is totally off topic , but did you know that in Utah if Halloween falls on a Sunday then they do it on the day before or after? What the hell is that all about? (I just moved to Salt Lake City from San Diego.) It really bugs me for some reason. I have no idea why I am bringing this up. lol

Brian: you do realise 3 out of those 4 were originally pagan holidays, right?
This being said, to answer the question:
It would make more sense, but they needed to christianise poor pagans, so they assimilated all our holidays. Borg, anybody?

Sure. Who cares when? What would life be without holidays?
Last week, I took my children to a restaurant.
My six-year-old son asked if he could say grace.
As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good, God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if Dad gets us ice cream for dessert. And Liberty and justice for all! Amen!"
Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman
remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why, I never!"
Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong? Is
God mad at me?"
As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job, and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table.
He winked at my son and said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer."
"Really?" my son asked.
"Cross my heart," the man replied.
Then, in a theatrical whisper, he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes."
Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My son stared at his for a moment, and then did something I will remember the rest of my life.
He picked up his sundae and, without a word, walked over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, "Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes; and my soul is good already."
The End

If they want to my dad and I are Christians and we celebrate passover and yom kippour. It may not be exactly how Jews celebrate it but we pray and fat on those days.
I agree with you Easter is Pagan because it also celerates the goddess Estre, and I know Christmas is pagan but I can't eremember why

I think it would make more sense. However, I support celebrating ANY holiday that lands me paid time off of work, so I think we should celebrate them all, regardless of religious belief.

They already took all the pagan ones. If they take the Jewish ones too whatever shall we do?
