G-Day my mate. Not having a go at you just saying is as I believe. Jesus was not born on Dec. 25, Christmas day. In fact I don't think there is any mention of Christs birthday in the Bible and the apostles and others never celebrated it?
Jesus’ parents came to Bethlehem to register in a Roman census (Luke 2:1-4). Such censuses were not taken in winter, when temperatures often dropped below freezing and roads were in poor condition. Taking a census under such conditions would have been self-defeating.
Given the difficulties and the desire to bring pagans into Christianity, the fixing of the date as December 25th was a compromise with paganism” (William Walsh, The Story of Santa Klaus , 1970, p. 62). Although it is difficult to determine the first time anyone celebrated December 25 as Christmas Day, historians are in general agreement that it was sometime during the fourth century. This is an amazingly late date. Christmas was not observed in Rome, the capital of the Roman Empire, until about 300 years after Christ’s death. Its origins cannot be traced back to either the teachings or practices of the earliest Christians.
This is about easter, another pagan celebration.
Easter, Greek, pascha, the Passover, as correctly translated in 28 other places (Matt. 26:2-19; mark 14:1-16; Luke 2:41; 22:1-15; John 2:13, 23. 6:4; 11:55; 12:1; 13:1; 18:28, 39; 19:14; 1 Cor. 5:7; Heb. 11:28).
This is an unfortunate and absurd translation, as Easter was a pagan festival observed long before Christ. It is not a Christian name, but is derived from Ishtar, one of Babylonian titles of an idol goddess, the queen of heaven. The Saxon goddess Eastre is the same as the Astarte, the Syrian Venus, called Ashtoreth in the O.T. It was the worship of this woman by Israel that was such an abomination to God (1 Sam. 7:3; 1 Kings 11:5, 33; 2 Kings 23:13; Jer. 7:18; 44:18). Round cakes, imprinted with the sign of the cross were made at this festival, the sign being, in the Babylonian mysteries, a sign of life.
Easter eggs which played a great part in this days celebration were common in all heathen nations. The fable of the egg declares that "an egg of wondrous size fell from heaven into the river Euphrates; the fish rolled it to the bank, where doves settled upon it and hatched it; and out came Astarte, or Ishtar, the goddess of Easter."
Easter, Christmas, Lady Day, Lent, and other Babylonian festivals were all borrowed from this religion and were all observed centuries before Christ. None of them have any relationship to Christ or Christianity.
