The only day Christians are taught to observe is the Lord's day, the first day of the week. On each Lord's day, we are to commemorate the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. There is no need for additional, special "Christian holidays".

"There is no need for additional, special "Christian holidays".

Are you saying we should get rid of extra days set aside to worship and praise God??? HOLY DAY - holiday...

What do you mean by "necessary"? What is wrong with going beyond "necessary"? When you love, do you only do what is "necessary"?

The Jews had no problem with remembering and thanking God throughout the year on days other than the Sabbath. Catholicism is a FULFILLMENT of Judaism, not a replacement or abrogation. So, we should continue to have holidays throughout the year, other than Sunday, to remind us of God.

Regards

I think there is a verse that says that Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. The sabbath is not the first day of the week.
