Hey wonderbear,

Yes, your traditions come from pagans

Not just holidays, look through the bible for any mention of a ??halo? hanging around people??s heads. That image actually came from the Egyptian sun God ??Ra.? You??ll see in older Christian art halos were less like rings and more like suns.

There are other examples.

You are right that Constantine took steps to make Christianity palatable to the pagans he was going to impose it on.

This does not make Christianity a pagan holiday.

It simply reflects the time when Christianity came about. Similarly, because the Bible was first translated into English during feudal times God is referred to as ??Lord? and ??King of Kings.?

You should know your history and embrace it, celebrate these holidays and traditions. They are part of the culture now.
