They (the clergy) continue, even unto this day, misc, to observe (ALL) pagan holiday's (even those underground, in secret, misc, etc) because they are (ESTABLISHED) tradition's, (ill - LOVED) by the world. To observe these holiday's and make them part of (one's Christian life), is not harmless or irrelevant, BECAUSE - their are lies and Father God's Word (NEVER) teaches it's reader's to observe them, in any shape or fashion, ever. Catholic Church even changed the Sabbath to Sunday (321 A. D.), from Saturday, and claimed they - 'need NO Father God's Word to back up their ill - free will choice power action in doing so, because of the infallibility of the Pope and church.
