We Celebrate when Everyone Else Celebrates |
Most of the holidays of the Church of Reality fall on the same days as other religions. Most religions rip off the holidays of other religions, and our religion is no exception. These are days that everyone already has off work and that people are used to celebrating anyway. It is the tradition of religions to maintain consistency in these celebrations, and we in the Church of Reality are going to go along with these traditions. Like other religions, we will of course adapt the meaning of these holidays to suit our belief system.
Holiday celebrations, of course, are up to the individual, and you are free to celebrate anything you want. In our church, holidays are for fun and education and exist mostly for social reasons: to let people get together, visit family, eat big meals together, and form community. It creates an opportunity for people to came together to discuss the Sacred Questions and to Wonder the Sacred Wonderment. We are thankful for the knowledge that was handed down to us, and we think about what we can contribute to the Tree of Knowledge for the next generation.
