How do pentecostals celebrate Christmas?

Answer 1

Of course we do not celebrate it like it was meant originally, but we do celebrate. Jesus's birth for Santa, the empty tomb for the Easter Bunny, autumn celebration for Halloween etc. All of the pagan holidays seem to coincide with the Christian ones.

Answer 2

Pentecostals celebrate most holidays. Like all Christians we celebrate Easter and Christmas as they are the main ones. We also recognise Palm Sunday and Pentecost.

We still celebrate all the holidays that regular society celebrates. But to us, They have a much deeper meaning than Easter bunnies and Santa Claus. Halloween is a controversial holiday among Pentecostals because of its origins and I personally choose not to take part in it, but the Lord has a different plan for everyone. For some people He gives an OK on Halloween, others a nope. I just happen to be a nope. I'm not passing judgment or criticizing. That's not loving. But yes we basically celebrate all the regular holidays. Good Friday is a holiday that some churches observe as well.

Answer 3

I am attending an apostolic/pentecostal Church, and they do celebrate Christmas, with prayer, singing, music, The Word of God, and eating a feast, everyone participates and brings food, no tree, but people did exchange small gifts, that part wasn't planned, some just did that on their own, but the celebration was at another place, not in church, and easter, they remember Jesus resurrection and have church, they don't do the easter bunny, just the ressurection message and maybe a play of what happened. jc.
