* Why do we celibrate birthdays?

* Where did it originate?

well since how we celebrate jesuses birthday. (Christmas...well some of us do) i guess its the same way.

We celebrate birthdays because everyone is happy that you\'re one yead closer to your death.


Actually, I don\'t know. I\'m not one to celebrate birthdays or anything in general, so I\'ve always felt confused over the matter as well.

Halloween isn\'t a birthday. I think it was something to do with the reformation of the Roman Catholic church way back when. The name is Hallow eve.

Hallow Eve is the direct translation of the Holiday known as Halloween.

Actually it\'s called All Hallows Eve, it\'s a pagan holiday that the catholic church turned into a catholic holiday to bring more pagans into the catholic church.

Yeah I dont call it Halloween ever. thats not its real name. it is known as hollows eve ((stupid Translators))


Anyway, what is easter? why do we celebrate it by decorating eggs? ?:conf:

* How many of you do christmas pictures( to send out on cards and stuff )

* Do you know why we(or others) do this?

Yep, that\'s it. I knew I was on the right track.

Plyer.EXE Easter is the day Jesus died on the cross(( if you believe in that otherwise it a free candy day!_!))


As for why we celebrate it with eggs that IS just weird!!!

No, no ,no, Easter is the day that Jesus rose from the dead, good friday is the day that he died. The eggs represent the new life that Jesus brang by dying on the cross for our sins, if you believe that. (I am a born and raised Catholic, I\'ll be happy to answer any questions about catholicism)

I\'m a protestant myself. Kindred spirits eh?

yo man whats up with your signature

I didn\'t think protestants were Catholic..

No, but for all intents and purposes its basically the same thing.

cool I didnt know that

Ahh thank you Um some thing I was wondering........where did Santa Claus come from???

[font=BankGothic Lt BT]Saint Nicholas, or Santa as you might better know him, was and still is the patron saint of children. German and Dutch traditions of a man filling drying stockings near the fireplace full of little toys and Displaying a tree in one\'s home eventually reached America after an amount of time, and the americanised version of Santa appeared (i.e. Red nose, Red Clothes, etc.) In Germany, he looked like an actual sain- robe, crown of thorns, and all. We made it so that he was more appealing to kids.

And, by the way, he doesn\'t exist. So why bother?[/font]

Santa Claus does too exist you twit. And now he\'s put you on the \'list\'.
