Many of the holidays we have today like Christmas and New years are based in part around former Pagan Celebrations. No holiday is bad. Holidays are times of celebration and family gatherings.
Why don't the same dates occur on the same day of the week every year after year?
Dates would always occur on the same day of the week if years always had 364 days and we continued to use seven - day weeks. As it is now, fifty - two seven - day weeks equals three hundred sixty four days, and non - leap years are three hundred sixty - five days.
The one extra day means that every non - leap year, all dates are one day of the week advanced compared to the preceding year. In the case of leap years, dates after February 28 are advanced two days compared to the previous year.

Will stores in Johannesburg will be open on good Friday?
Well, some will, other's will be closed. On Easter Sunday, almost all the shops will be closed.So start shopping now and getting those Easter eggs! Yum!
What is good to put in Easter eggs?
Candy and goodies. Most of the really fun Easter egg hunts have a few money eggs and these usually contain between one to twenty dollars. As long as the kiddies like it they can contain just about anything.
Super glue gel is very good for glueing objects to an egg shell. I might be leery of giving super glue to a bunch of 10 year old, though. Tacky glue, which is similar to Elmers, takes longer to set up, but will cause fewer problems.
What does the Christian cross represent?
Well, Jesus died on a cross, so it's representing that.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Holy Cross: This symbolises the pain and suffering Jesus went through to save us. It is a symbol for Catholics and Christian's. This symbol is used throughout the year, especially Easter as it represents the time of Jesus' Crucifixion.
AnswerIn the context of the Christian faith, the cross means a number of things. It is certainly the most used Christian symbol.It Means Self-Denial
Matthew 10:38 (King James Version)38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. Matthew 16:24 (King James Version)24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.It Was A Thing of Shame and Suffering
Hebrews 12:2 (King James Version)2Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.The Roman method of crucifixion was one of the most exquisitely terrible methods of execution ever devised. People were crucified naked, hence the shame, and suffered excruciating pain as they had to struggle to pull themselves up to draw breath. There was also terrible thirst, especially if done in summer, and mental torture as the process was long and drawn out sometimes lasting for days before death.
The Preaching of the Cross as a thing of blessing brought great offense.
This is probably because it was such a horrible way to die.
1 Corinthians 1:18 (King James Version)18For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.It Is God's Method of Reconciling Man to God
Colossians 1:20 (King James Version)20And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.This, for Christians, is its most wonderful meaning.
