The Pagan Origins of Sunday Worship and Christmas


THE PAGAN ORIGINS OF SUNDAY WORSHIP AND CHRISTMAS

I have decided to address this big issue of ignorance and misunderstanding among millions of those who claim to know the Almighty God JEHOVAH, JESUS Christ and the Holy Spirit. But they have been confusing, misinforming and misleading millions of their congregants or churchgoers for centuries and causing divisions in Christendom. Those who celebrate the Christmas and those who oppose celebrating the Christmas, because of the pagan origins. But they hypocritically observe SUN- DAY worship which also has pagan origins.
Please, read the following carefully and then my conclusion.

ORIGINS OF SUNDAY WORSHIP

Why is Sunday called Sunday? Because it's the day the pre-Christian Anglo-Saxons and other Germanic peoples set aside for the worship of the sun.
1st and 2nd century, the week of seven days was introduced into Rome from Egypt, and the Roman names of the planets were given to each successive day.

ORIGINS OF CHRISTMAS

One widespread explanation of the origin of this date is that December 25 was the Christianizing of the dies solis invicti nati (“day of the birth of the unconquered sun”), a popular holiday in the Roman Empire that celebrated the winter solstice as a symbol of the resurgence of the sun, the casting away of winter and the heralding of the rebirth of spring and summer. Indeed, after December 25 had become widely accepted as the date of Jesus’ birth, Christian writers frequently made the connection between the rebirth of the sun and the birth of the Son.

THE CONCLUSION
Our Lord JESUS Christ never chose any particular day for His disciples to fellowship and worship Almighty God.
The only fellowship He commanded us to do is to remember The Last Supper he had on the Passover dinner which was on Wednesday, 1 April AD33.

Luke 22:19:
"And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me."

Then after the Passover, the second most thing He promised happened on the fiftieth day after Passover, The Day of Pentecost in Jerusalem as recorded in ACTS 2.
