| Which holiday more important to Christians As a Christian which holiday is more important Christmas or Easter? Christmas gets the PR due to the secular greedfest associated with it, but is Easter the most important day to christians? |

Historically and religiously speaking, the Lenten season leading up to and culminating with Easter is the most important Holy time for Christians; but in recent decades as Western religion fallen into the commerciality of a highly secularized lifestyle, Christmas has come to the forefront. Christmas represents the time of a miraculous birth--which is great and all--but the week of the Passion and Easter are so much more intrinsically important to the overall message of Christianity; that God sacrificed his only son to save humanity, and resurrected him three days later to ascend to Heaven and take his place in the eternal afterlife. These are core parts of Christian ideology, and infinitely more relevant to the religion than a virgin birth.....but when free toys from a jolly fat man aren't part of the equation, modern Christians don't want much to do with it. I'm not sure whether it's got more to do with the fact that we now have to have a Hallmark entity (a-la Easter Bunny) to represent religious holidays and detract from the theological purpose, or the growing movement of Protestants toward a 'casual' edge where traditional observances go unrecognized. If 85% of Americans identify themselves as Christians, I would wager at least half of those couldn't tell you the Biblical significance of Good Friday---while I'm certain every last one could point out a picture of Santa Claus.
