Christian answer:
Jesus celebrated all the Jewish festivals, so if you truly want to imitate the son of God it wouldn't hurt. Many Jewish festivals foreshadow the arrival of the Messiah, so by celebrating these festivals you are celebrating the fact that the Messiah has arrived and that through his your sins are forgiven.
Jewish answer:
The only reason a Christian might want to observe a Jewish festival would be to understand today's Jews a little better, and maybe some misconceptions might disappear. Otherwise, there is no spiritual reason.
yes
To acknowledge the
yes, they should.
No.
A christian should partake in none. Ask a rabbi or one of your Jewish friends for their opinion and your own clergyman.Answer:Many Jewish festivals mark events in Jewish cultural history. Participation should be no problem. Others are deeply involved with the Jewish identity and participation requires a knowledge of the language and traditions. Being "just a gawker" would be seen as impolite as many Christians would feel if a crowd of atheists. Pastafarians and Wiccans sat in on their Chrismas ceremonies "just to gawk"
Jews do not celebrate Christmas because they do not believe Jesus was the Messiah. Hence his birthdate is of no particular significance to them.
Non-Jews are not commanded to remember or observe Passover. Jews are commanded to remember and keep Passover (Exodus ch.12), and they should do so.
It depends on what YOU want to do. Celebrate what YOU want to celebrate. Wether you are non-religious, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, etc. celebrate Christmas if YOUwant to. It's your choice, not anyone else's.

The reason why they celebrate it is because Jesus told us to. He said we should do this as a sign to the world that we have accepted Jesus as our savior. Being baptised means being buried in water. Your rising up from it like Jesus rised up from the dead. I should know it because I'm Christian...even though I did not get baptised. That is why Christians celebrate Baptism.
Yes! it is the day that Jesus rose from the dead! Although many religions disagree with celebrating Easter because the Catholic church incorporated pagan practices/symbols into it...the Easter bunny with the eggs represents the goddess of fertility. It also teaches christians about foriveness and love and sacrifice.
