Merry-Making in Christmas, Adopted from Pagans
Did you know that the way of merry-making we did during Christmas is actually an adoption of the merry-making of pagans when celebrating their festivals?
It was recorded in The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge that says:
“The pagan festival with its riot and merry-making was so popular that Christians were glad of an excuse to continue its celebration with little change in spirit or in manner. Christian preachers of the West and the Nearer East protested against the unseemly frivolity with which Christ’s birthday was celebrated, while Christians of Mesopotamia accused their worship for adopting as Christian this pagan festival. Yet the festival rapidly gained acceptance and became at last s firmly established that even the Protestant revolution of the sixteenth century was not able to dislodge it.” (vol. 3, p. 48)
No wonder why we can’t find this kind of merry-making in the Holy Bible. It’s pagan’s original way of observing festivals.
