Christmas was originally yule, a widely celebrated pagan
celebrations. Easter was Beltane another pagan celebration. the
events that the church claim occurred on these dates could not
possibly happen then. by claiming these dates had christian
significance, they were able to bring in pagans that wanted to
continue to celebrate these times. those that did not want to become
christian were made to look like they were celebrating christ anyway.
after a few generations, no one knew the difference anymore.
