glennh Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hey folks, I was on another website the other day ( non-LDS ) and found some of their doctrines kind of interesting. They are a Sabbath keeping church ( Saturday worship ) and make the point that both Easter and Christmas were never celebrated by the first Christians and that we shouldn't celebrate them either as they were pagan celebrations "Christianized" by the Catholic Church. They also say that Christians are to keep the Holy Days as commanded in Deuteronomy ( passover, feast of tabernacles etc. ). I am wondering what the LDS stance is on this? Thanks for your time.

bytebear Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 The church does not have high and holy day. Even Easter and Christmas are not required sacraments. We only have the Sabbath, which we know is to set one day aside one of every 7 days to worship and partake of the Lord's Supper. We do honor and celebrate the birth and resurrection of Christ in a religous fashion, but through a cultural construct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
