[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 935365, member: 2189"] Every culture puts it's own personal stamp on it's religions. Much of the traditions of the Christmas season don't origin to the time of Christ or the region of Judea but rather vary from old Roman traditions to various northern European traditions. Instead of crushing these well embedded pagan ways, they were just christianized on the chance that over time the older pagan reasons would be displaced with a christian interpretation and in fact they were so it's proven to work. Some would argue the idea of the trinity came out of the Persian Zoroastrianism or that the Jesus figure of Paul was more from Persian/Roman Mithraism than the real Jesus of Galilee and Judea. Poor Moreluck, still unable to firmly grasp reality!
