For all those Christians saying that Christmas is "pagan" you need to remember what the apostle Paul wrote: "All things are lawful".

[@Zetact_]

Also there is no compelling argument for any of the claims of pagan roots, they all are very easily debunked if you've done a little bit of digging and the only connecting fabric is Winter festivals, something ubiquitous across ALL cultures. Even then, the date of December 25th was literally decided because it was the early Church belief that Jesus would die on the same day He was conceived - they believed that date to be March 25th, so just count up nine months and you get December 25th.

Passover is always the 14th day of the first month on the biblical calendar. Passover commemorates the passing over of God’s people who chose to be saved by the blood of the Lamb with the blood on the Cross. Easter means egg hunts, Easter baskets and ham dinners. Pork is forbidden by God. So no rational human being can say they are related in any way! God’s commands vs. many’s traditions. Did you know there is a church by me that has egg hunts?

In Lutheranism these things are observed, but not as prominently like Catholics do.

Those who denounce the holidays and the liturgical calendar IMO are either too strongly influenced by Puritanism, or by modern Fundamentalism with its claim to strip away anything they can't date to the Apostles, or just mistake Protestantism for Anticatholicism. The historic Protestant traditions spawned from the Reformation did not throw away a millennium and a half of rich heritage of the Western Church, but they did change where they'd give the focus and emphasis and how they celebrate, which is fair enough. Then of course there's the notorious "Protestant Work Ethic" which would say it's enough for you to have time off on Sunday why should you take holidays too 😅

We work on a yearlong calendar that is split into four times, Ordinary, Advent, Lent, and Easter. For Sunday's we have 3 liturgical years, which means that every three years, we reread the same readings in the bible. On dally mass I believe it's only one liturgical year. It's set up so if you go to Mass every Sunday for 3 years, you'll have listened to almost the whole Bible.

[@colmortimer1066]

@@RKerns Interesting. Though what I tend to favor is expository preaching, that some of the protestant churches do. Where they take a book of the bible and spend months to a couple years, reading a few verses every week reading line by line, and explaining what the text means and all references to them for 30-40 minutes every Sunday. In little over a year I read our 66 book bible twice. I have been reading what we call the Apocrypha, I am not sure what you call them but they are the books Catholics use from the Greek Old Testament that Protestants don't, before I start my 3rd read. There are a lot of things I like about the Catholic church, and while the ones I have seen give a great 10 to 15 minute sermon based on the application for a few bible verse they read that day, it does lack that deep dive into what it means, what Old or New Testament works derive from or to it, that really gives a deep understanding beyond what I read, or can listen to in Catholic mass. I often wonder what a Catholic would do with an expository preaching style. As it might blend the best of both.

And Halloween and All Souls’ Day

[@caiofelipe2004]

Since you mentioned so many hymns in this video, you should do a traditional hymns tier list. The Church's One Foundation, for instance, is an easy S tier for me.

[@AMRARDvermebrungruppe]

You forgot about St. Brigid's, Candlemass, St. Patrick's, Annunciation, Lammas (aka Firstfruits or Loafmass), Exaltation of the Cross, Dormition, Conception of Our Lady, and Presentation of Our Lady. Also Lent and Advent are not holidays (feasts); they're the anti-holidays (fasts).

[@carsonianthegreat4672]

Also Hallowtide

[@iamdigory]

The giant empty half that is usually called ordinary Time has the three fall holy days of the Old Testament at its center. Many people believe these refer to Christ's second coming, and they can also be understood as telling the whole story of the gospel (creation, sin and atonement, living with God)

St. Nicholas (Santa Claus) slapping Arius in the face is the best Christmas gift ever.

4:01 Correction Not all Christians Practise Ash Wednesday. For example we in the Free Methodist church don't do Ash Wednesday but acknowledge Lent. Its only the most trad churches such as Catholic Orthodox or Protestant that participate in Ash Wednesday.

This video should be required viewing for all new Christians.

[@StephenAngelico]

In Australia, Ash Wednesday is also the day of an infamous bushfire that was, until 2009, the worst bushfire day by lives lost. The name just makes it ironic.

[@mrdmcarter]

Thanks for sharing

[@carsonianthegreat4672]

What about Hallowtide? (Halloween, All Hallows’ Day, and All Souls’ Day)

[@medelicityliu7934]

"Santa's actually real, he's just dead" - something I actually told my classmates in Elementary School because I grew up learning that Santa Claus is St. Nicholas, who is in heaven

I have a calendar for 2025 that is in the shape of a circle and sundays are on the outside edge of the circle while Saturdays are near the center.

correction: Mary received the good news from the angel Gabriel not during Advent but on March 25th.

[@Lynn-r8h]

Jesus was conceived at Chanukah and was born none months later at Sukkot, Feast of Tabernacles.

[@carsonianthegreat4672]

@@Lynn-r8hnot true. Christ was conceived on March 25th, which is the same day He died. He was born 9 months later on December 25th.

[@Lynn-r8h]

@ nonsense. He was conceived Kislev 25 and born Tishri 15. The calendar you are using didn’t exist when Yeshua walked in the earth. Stop teaching nonsense.

[@petrvsfiterpanco]

@Lynn-r8h in the Bible, Mary received good news in the sixth month, which means in the Jewish calendar the month of Adar, and what you said was kislev which is actually the ninth month, and also if the calendar is translated into gregorian then kislev is the month around november and december

[@Lynn-r8h]

@ John the Baptist was born at Passover. Jesus was born six months later at Sukkot, the 15th day of the seventh month. It’s the Feast of Tabernacles. Therefore, counting back nine months means Jesus was conceived at Hanukkah.

I know even the Catholics barely even practice it anymore, but we should bring back Michaelmas.

[@carsonianthegreat4672]

Fat Tuesday (aka Shrove Tuesday & Mardi Gras) is also a Christian holiday.

[@galaga6875]

I used to be Catholic, we would celebrate the arrival of the three wise men or kings that visited Jesus when he was born, on January 6th, with a cake. It was called the King's cake or La Rosca del Reyes. And the people who found a baby jesus in their cake were supposed to host a party.

[@TheSignofJonah777]

That’s I believe when Christmas is celebrated in the East

[@meowthchu7307]

Wasn't kings cake also in Mardi gras?

[@Robert-r4s4c]

Why did you abandon the Body of Christ ?

[@galaga6875]

@Robert-r4s4c i did not abandon Christ. I'm just a non-denominational Christian instead of Catholic

[@randomfish2054]

For my catholic and orthodox brothers, Merry (early) Christmas (AKA Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ)

[@Zander2212]

This is really interesting, but I wish you had mentioned when all these holidays are. I don't know when Advent transitions to Christmas or when Christmas transitions to Epiphany, and that seems at least somewhat important.

[@Urfavigbo]

25th December- 5th January is the Christmas season. 12 days of Christmas. Epiphany is on 6th January.
