In Christian communities around the world, there are traditional holiday celebrations common to all believers, as well as cultural and regional events and activities. Also, the way believers celebrate the various Christian holidays have to do with the denominational differences or preferences.
Almost everyone has heard of the two major Christian holidays, Christmas and Easter. Christmas celebrates the birth of the Messiah, while Easter honors Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross and the miracle of His resurrection.
There are several lesser-known holidays Christians celebrate, including religious feasts, fasts of repentance and humbleness, and still more holy days with their own unique meanings.
This group of articles provides information about these lesser-known holidays. Our goal is to help Christians understand the purpose and meaning of such traditional celebrations as Advent, Lent, Holy Week, Ascension Day and others.
