Did Scotland celebrate Christmas or Easter?

Answer 1

There are approximately countries that celebrate these Christmas. There are many references that the origins were not of religious nature........
I beg to differ on the simplest factors.
Christmas is the celebration surrounding the birth of Christ. Doesn't matter how you celebrate it, the origin began with Jesus Christ. And somewhere along the lines, December 25 was chosen as the date. We do not know the actual date of Jesus Christ's birth.

Easter. (I just had this lesson for my 5th grade SS class, did the research.) Passover was the observation we read about in The Bible. This was what we now call DURING (OUR) THE HOLY WEEK. All sorts of things are celebrated during this week, each religion has their own meanings.
We would not have had EASTER if Jesus Christ had not suffered and was crucified. We would still be having PASSOVER.
It was the action that happened to Jesus Christ, which leads to the reason for Easter.
So those who celebrate these 2 religious holidays, who say they don't believe that Christ had any part in it, have developed their own pagan reasons or ways to still celebrate a CHRIST RELATED holiday.
People (as a whole) get these 2 holidays off as part of their legal holiday package.
There will be disagreements with my listed information, as I have read many other posts on the internet which makes like reading a GRIMMS book.
SO it is each to his own religion, or none at all.
