How can Christians be Christians and embrace pagan festivals?
A:Most Christians do not know that Christmas Day was chosen as a Christian festival because it is the birthday of the sun god. They do not know that even the name 'Easter' and much of the Easter festivities are of pagan origin. They do not know that many of the saints, such as St Brigid of Ireland, are Christianised pagan gods. Not knowing these things, they can be Christians and enjoy their festivities in blissful ignorance.
