Christmas is a feast. For birth of Jesus the Christ. It is to be a day of joy and renewal. Christiandom celebrates December 25 each year. To mark coming into being of the Incarnation , God made Man/Human. For Salvation of Humankind.
Christians are divided over rational and appropiateness of replacing Sun god festival day with that of Christmas. Pagans were enticed to Christianity by adopting their day for great Christian feast of Christmas.
Unfortunately real essence of Christmas is lost. The day has become more pagan than ever. One hardly recognizes it as Christian event.
Everything anti Christianity is promoted on December 25. Drinking and promiscuity reigns high during the day. Commercialization takes a centre stage. And Word of God is kept behind. Jesus the Christ is hardly mentioned. His birth and significance once played in songs on radio , at homes and in other places have vanished or faded away with time.
Secular Music has replaced Christmas Songs during Christmas Celebrations. No body seems to care so very much about using the day to reflect on the Christ , his teachings and mission of salvation.
Salvation of Souls is replaced with physical development and progress. God is kept in a cooler. The Spirit is supressed and the Flesh promoted sky high during Christmas. Satan seems to be the power that reigns and controls every aspect of the feast.
Church services are organized just to collect monies and gifts from people , church goers , for use by the clergy.
Love , Peace and Joy have eluded Christians and humankind. For transgression of the Law , Word of God. Selfishness , Greed and corruption have eaten deep into society. And caused so much pain , misery and despair.
The World needs peace. Without love there is no peace. May we turn a new leaf and love all as ourselves for peace.
