I don't see this in anyway invalidates the festival as a time of Christian celebration though, as the 'new' ceremonies were usually put on top of the old to ensure continuity.I don't actually believe Jesus was born on the 25th December but I still enter into the spirit on that day every year.Afterall, if he was found to have come along in June, who would want Christmas then ? There's far too many other things going on.I think the same with Easter.It may be only history that dictates the date we celebrate but it seems very relevant as the Earth is about to be reborn at the same time...perhaps there's a hint of the Pagan in me as well...Boll Weavilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03858122220880954456noreply@blogger.com
