The Pilgrims did not celebrate Christmas and Easter. These holidays were invented by man to memorialize Jesus, and are not prescribed by The Bible or celebrated by the early Christian churches, and therefore cannot be considered Holy days. "It seems too much for any mortal man to appoint, or make an anniversary memorial" for Christ, taught the Pilgrims' pastor John Robinson.

Why is the Plymouth rock important?

It really isn't, but a symbolic way to show the Pilgrims came to the new world. The story of the rock actually dates from an 18th century story. It wasn't until 121 years after the Pilgrims landed that a church elder said that his father who landed on the Mayflower landed on that rock. There is no historical evidence that the Pilgrims actually stepped onto the shore of Massachusetts on that rock. Bradford made no written entry about the rock. The stone has also been moved from place to place, split in two and broken by souvenir hunters.
