Explain. en-us 2023-06-16 18:38:50 UTC 2023-07-09 16:52:37 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2638943307 Yes these two holidays can coexist with the secular view because both of these holidays celebrate the birth of Jesus and then the resurrection of Jesus. Now it's focused on Santa clause and presents and the easter bunny and chocolate eggs. Depending on your religion you may celebrate one thing more than another. ]]> 2023-07-05 18:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2638943307 cl698101 https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2638991575 Yes, I believe these holidays can coexist with the secular view. Many people celebrate both the religious and secular aspects of these holidays, including myself.  For example, my family usually attends church to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday, and then participate in an Easter egg hunt later that day. The secular traditions of these holidays unite people and build a festive mood, while the religious traditions offers a deeper spiritual meaning and connection. Both aspects honour the customs and values and are significant to many people.]]> 2023-07-05 20:42:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2638991575 https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639283846 Yes, I agree that these celebrations may coexist with a secular view. I am one of many that observes both the religious and secular parts of these festivals.  For instance, on Easter Sunday, my family typically visits church to commemorate Jesus' resurrection. While the religious traditions of these holidays offer a deeper spiritual significance and connection, the secular customs serve to bring people together and foster a joyous atmosphere. Both elements respect the traditions and ideals and are important to a lot of people. Because both of these celebrations commemorate Jesus' birth and subsequent resurrection, they may coexist with the secular view. ]]> 2023-07-06 03:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639283846 https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639616979 yes i agree that holidays can coexist with the secular view. My family usually has to celebrate holidays like christmas and easter differently. My moms side of the family is very catholic, my grandparents attend church almost every day and are very involved with their religion. My dads side of the family is also catholic, but aren’t as involved in the religion as my moms side. My grandparents on my dads side attend church, but not as often. During holidays, we often go to church with my moms side of the family, then will go to my dads side of the family for other traditions such as easter egg hunts or receiving presents from Santa. Even though my family celebrates other traditions like Santa and the Easter Bunny, we still focus on the true meaning of Easter and Christmas, Which is the birth and resurrection of Jesus. ]]> 2023-07-06 11:55:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639616979 https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639620490 Yes, I think that the traditional holiday of Christmas and Easter coexist with the secular view. These holidays both represent and have a good understanding of Jesus and what he did to show his love. For example, I celebrate both these holidays. On Christmas, my family and I like to all get together and enjoy a nice Christmas dinner while spending quality time like playing games or watching a movie. Although you think of Christmas as receiving and giving gifts, we still have an understanding of Jesus. In a way giving and receiving can show the love you have for others like Jesus wants. On Easter, my family participates in an Easter egg haunt and Easter dinner. The celebration of this day is helping the understanding of Jesus. ]]> 2023-07-06 12:03:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639620490 ek828230 https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639748127 Yes, I believe that the religious tradition of Easter and Christmas coexist with the secular view. Christmas has religious roots in Christianity, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Easter also has religious roots in Christianity, which marks the resurrection of Jesus. My family on my dad's side is very religious, we go to church and celebrate Jesus every Christmas and Easter. While my mom's side is still religious, we celebrate Christmas and Easter with gifts, Santa Claus, egg hunts, the Easter Bunny, etc. Therefore, since these celebrations both celebrate Jesus they coexist in a secular view.]]> 2023-07-06 15:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639748127 de713491 https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639786838 Yes, I believe that the religious tradition of Easter and Christmas can coexist with he secular view of these holidays. Though Christmas and Easter are about the birth and resurrection of Jesus, there will always be a materialistic aspect to both of these holidays. For instance, in my family we celebrates these 2 holidays through both the religious and secular view. We do this by going to church and focusing on thanking God for all he's done for us, however we also celebrate by doing more non-religious/secular activities such as giving out presents and money, participating in games such the Easter Egg Hunt and believing in fictional characters such as Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. So, I do think that the religious aspect of these holidays can coexist with the secular view of these holidays as they don't really affect each other in a negative way and are there for people to be able to choose how they want to celebrate the holiday. ]]> 2023-07-06 17:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639786838 https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639793711 Yes, I do believe that secular holidays can coexsit with religious holidays. While Christianity is a wide speed view, not everyone shares it, these people may enjoy the act of gathering with family and showing graitude for their family in this time. I also know that family's that are part of the church enjoy the things that come from the secular view of these holidays such as a Christmas tree or a egg hunt. ]]> 2023-07-06 17:50:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639793711 https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639801586 Yes, I believe that the religious tradition of Easter and Christmas can coexist with the secular view of these holidays. Although Christmas and Easter are about the birth and resurrection of Jesus, some people enjoy gathering with family during these periods of time. My family personally has more of a secular view as we enjoy visiting and spending time with our extended family members during those times. ]]> 2023-07-06 18:14:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639801586 https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639802226 It's possible for the religious tradition of Easter and Christmas to coexist with the secular view. While the religious aspect of these holidays focuses on the religious significance of the events, the secular aspect focuses on the cultural and social traditions associated with them. The religious traditions of Easter and Christmas may include church services, prayers, and other religious events, while the secular traditions may include gift-giving, decorating, and other festive activities. Regardless of how each individual celebrates these holidays, it's important to respect and acknowledge the different ways in which they are observed.]]> 2023-07-06 18:16:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639802226 https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639812872 Yes, I believe that both the religious traditions and the secular views of Christmas and Easter can coexist. The reason for this is mainly because, for years, people have been incorporating religious and secular elements in their celebrations of these holidays. Although these holidays have religious importance since they represent the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus, they can also be enjoyed through secular customs. It's possible to celebrate both the religious and secular aspects of these holidays. Secular and religious traditions serve very different purposes. I find that religious traditions and celebrations of Christmas and Easter help us reflect on our relationship with Jesus, and help us acknowledge his birth, death and eventual resurrection. This is undoubtedly a crucial part of the holidays, since it deepens our spiritual connection with Jesus. However, secular traditions and customs emphasize the significance of spending quality time with family, friends, and loved ones. During holidays like Christmas and Easter, it's important to value both our relationship with Jesus and our loved ones. Many families, including mine, choose to incorporate secular and religious traditions to make the most of the holidays. Overall, it's up to each individual to decide how they want to celebrate the holidays, whether it's through religious or secular traditions. ]]> 2023-07-06 18:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639812872 https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639833915 Yes, I believe that both christmas and Easter can coexisit with the secular view. Catholics can still celebrate Jesus birth and have santa come bring presents. This has been done for my whole life. I keep Jesus in my heart during the christmas season and know that he is the reason we are celebrating. Easter is also a reflection on when Jesus was crucified and then rose from the dead. Easter also means chocolate and the easter bunny who brings it.]]> 2023-07-06 20:02:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639833915 mo694499 https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639965628 Yes, I think that the religous tradition of Easter and Christmas can coexist with the secular views of these holidays. This is because I think that in order to fully celebrate and make these religious holidays have importance, you need to enjoy celebrating them and you can do so by combining secular and non-secular customs. By doing so, you are more invested and connect more importance with these holidays like they are meant to be celebrated. ]]> 2023-07-06 23:54:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639965628 es820076 https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2639965897 Yes, in my opinion, I think that Easter and Christmas can coexist with a secular view. Even though these religious holidays were created because of Jesus's birth and how he is willing to sacrifice his life to save us from our sins. I personally attend mass on these holidays because I come from a religious family, but I also to the non-religious traditions as well like Santa bringing me presents or the easter bunny bringing me candy/easter egg hunts. I know that many don't see these holidays as the true meaning which is Jesus's birth and how he is willing to sacrifice his life to save us from our sins but instead see it as a day when Santa brings you presents or the easter bunny brings you candy which is a fun way for non-religious people to celebrate the holiday.

Personally speaking, I came from a very religious family. My family attend mass every single sunday every week. Nevertheless, I also believed in non-religious things that became associated with these holidays such as santa. Everyone knows who santa is. He is known in every country because of the character he plays during Christmas. Stories about him had been passed down from generations to generations, even today. When I was young I also believed in him and the stories older people used to tell about him. My parents whom I had mentioned before, they are very religious however despite that they still told stories about santa. This is the same with Easter and how kids typically celebrate it because of the candies and chocolates they recieve shaped like a bunny during this time. A bunny is commonly used as the animal to represent Easter and like I said before, kids and even adults do not only celebrate these holidays because its associated with a religion but because of the fun activities and gifts/things given to them during these holidays.]]> 2023-07-07 02:34:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2640120220 https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2640150592 Yes, I believe that both the religious traditions and secular views of Christmas and Easter can coexist. Traditionally for many people, the secular traditions for these holidays are celebrated to have a joyful holiday with family without any religious meaning, although, the real importance of the holiday is celebrated by the people who follow and believe in Christianity. As a result, religious and secular traditions can be celebrated in both aspects because as people celebrate the true meaning of the holiday they can incorporate specular traditions to emphasise the significance of the day even more. In short, the holidays that are celebrated in both aspects are for fun and an enjoyable holiday with family and friends. For instance, my family and I like to celebrate Christmas and Easter by celebrating the importance of what Jesus did for us but we also like to incorporate Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and secular activities while celebrating to also emphasise the significance of the day and enjoying time with each other. To conclude,  both the religious traditions and secular views of Christmas and Easter can coexist, though it's up to the family or person to celebrate it the way they want to.

The majority of those who commemorate both of these holidays can do so on both a religious and secular level. Since everyone in my mother's family is Catholic, we make every effort to go to church on Christmas. We attend church throughout the Christmas season to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ, and by doing so, my family and I feel closer to both God and those in our community. On my dad's side, we visit my grandparents around the holidays (Christmas and Easter) to take part in events like Easter egg hunts and Santa Claus gift-giving. Overall, Christmas and Easter can be celebrated according to both religious and secular beliefs, but it is up to the individual family members how they see fit. ]]> 2023-07-07 04:00:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2640202056 https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2640219229 Yes, I do believe that the religious traditions of Easter and Christmas can coexist with the secular views of these important holidays. This is because, for years, the majority have had different views of how these holidays should be celebrated. For instance, Christmas is the day to rejoice in the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ. However, nowadays they use it as an excuse to gather with relatives, enjoy feasts, and give gifts to one another. Although it may seem that people have forgotten the real meaning and importance of why these holidays are celebrated, many still believe that it is a moment of reflection and to feel the presence of the Beloved Son. Numerous families around the world, including mine, commemorate the birth and resurrection of Jesus in a religious way by attending mass on Sundays during those seasons. On the other hand, we also corporate secular aspects such as organizing parties, exchanging presents, and many more as it is an opportunity to bond with the significant people in our lives. For me, it does not matter how you celebrate these holidays, whether by going to church or just spending quality time with family and friends. At the end of the day, it is we who will decide how we will seize the moment and make joyful memories.]]> 2023-07-07 04:24:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2640219229 fo693895 https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2640555357 Yes, i do believe that the secular and biblical holidays of Christmas and Easter can coexist with each other. The secular side of these holidays is about the money, but they still use biblical reasoning behind the easter bunny, as said in the article; in the bible there is a person named Eastre and they have a pet rabbit, which is why we call the holiday Easter and the symbol is the Easter bunny. The secular side of this holiday uses these symbols for marketing and money and Catholics use these things to teach our beliefs and our faith, but who says we can coexist. For example, my moms side of our family is super religious so we go with them to church during the holidays to celebrate Jesus in both his birth and resurrection. Then we go to my dads side where we participate in easter egg hunts and big family dinners and gift giving. On top of them both sides of my family get along amazing, so why wouldn’t these too beliefs be able to coexist?]]> 2023-07-07 15:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2640555357 mo697801 https://padlet.com/ambersawyer2/ummpx1p9tetnexwx/wish/2640562787 Yes, I believe that both religious traditions and secular views on Christmas and Easter can coexist.  Although secular views on Christmas and Easter may not have as meaningful of history, people have unconsciously been adding religious traditions into their secular holidays.

Christmas and Easter are celebrated for Jesus. However there are different ways to celebrate these holidays such as Santa and the Easter bunny. I feel everyone should have holidays they celebrate whether you’re religious or not.
