The Holy days are related to the cycle of stars
Equinox and Solstice
We mark these days and worship- there is no “origin” except for the Creation of the Universe. We observe these days, we did not create them.
As our spiritual and moral standing changes though time, our holidays also change-
From pagan Yule to Christmas, to the consumerist Xmas of the past few decades. The rituals of “Xmas” involve buying cheap plastic goods and sugary foods in fealty to spirits of gluttony.
As we cycle through spiritual ups and downs, we see the effects on a large scale all around us in culture and society.
The time of revival is near. This winter solstice, remember the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.
