Do you know the history behind some of the holidays we celebrate? If you do, how do you feel about it? Lately, there have been debates about Christians celebrating Christmas or Easter.

Elder Paul Hunter is the author of two books, a booklet, and a dictionary of religion. He has a BA in liberal arts, a master’s degree in History, and his master’s in Theology. He has studied History, Christianity, and pagan religions for more than three decades.
