Is Christmas Really About Christ? Why More Christians Are Replacing Holidays with Holy Days

Have you ever paused in the middle of a holiday celebration and asked, “Is this what God intended?” If you’ve ever felt that tug in your spirit — that quiet conviction that something’s off — you’re not alone. More and more believers are starting to ask hard questions about Christmas, Easter, and other traditions... and discovering something powerful: God has His own calendar.

🎁 The Truth About Our Holidays (It’s Not What You Think)

It might surprise you to learn that many of the holidays we celebrate — even the ones stamped “Christian” — have roots in ancient pagan worship. Christmas trees, mistletoe, Easter eggs… they may seem innocent, but their origins tell a different story. And nowhere in Scripture do we find Jesus or His disciples keeping these traditions.

So what did they celebrate?

📖 God’s Appointed Times — Not Just for the Jews

Long before man-made holidays, God established His appointed feasts — holy days with deep meaning, prophetic significance, and eternal purpose. These include:

Passover
Unleavened Bread
Firstfruits
Pentecost (Weeks)
Feast of Trumpets
Day of Atonement
Feast of Tabernacles

Jesus didn’t ignore these feasts — He fulfilled them. And the ones not yet fulfilled? They point directly to His return.

🎉 Why Holy Days Still Matter Today

This isn’t about legalism or trying to earn God’s love. It’s about aligning with His design. God’s holy days were never just “Jewish traditions.” They are His days — given for all His people to remember, rejoice, repent, and realign.

When you return to God’s calendar, something shifts. Your worship becomes richer. Your understanding of Scripture deepens. Your walk with Jesus grows more anchored in truth.
