I have long heard that our modern date for Christmas was chosen in an effort to “Christianize” a pagan holiday. I was surprised to learn the true...

Many Christians struggle to decide how (or if) to celebrate Halloween, especially with the claim that the holiday is pagan in origin.

Try as we might to disassociate Santa from Christmas, he is hard to ignore. So when the kids inevitably ask, “Who is Santa?” what do we say?

To better understand why the Pilgrims left England, it may be helpful to briefly review the religious landscape of the time.

Let’s face it, whether we celebrate Halloween or not, we cannot ignore the images that surround our children during the season.

Martin Luther is said to have posted his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of All Saints’ Church (also called Castle Church) on October 31, 1517.

Think the Christmas Tree is pagan? It is more likely that the modern Christmas Tree has its beginning in Christian practices.
