Bible Question:
I have heard that the puritans banned Christmas in England, for a time. Does anyone know their motives, and how it worked out as a societal practice? And why was the ruling overturned? It is interesting to see how Christians at other times have grappled with the issues, and Biblical interpretation, that we are discussing even now. |
Bible Answer: Hi, Just Read Mark! I've been sampling a couple of programs, on the History Channel, titled: In Search for Christmas and The Christmas Truce. Perhaps it is one of these programs that have cover the origins of Christmas, the religious outlawing of it in England, its reintroduction and its travel to the US. There were several religious movements that attempted to irradicate Christmas. As we know, Christmas, though loaded with mundane and commercial features, has survived! I believe that such a significant day (whether we ever discover the precise date or not), our Lord's Incarnation, cannot be obliterated from our lives! Merry Christmas! |
