You are presumably a Western Christian. In the Christian East, it is most definitely the other way around.
It's not related to where anyone lives. It's solely based upon the names
and traditions of the two holidays.
I'm glad the Anglicans, (some) Reformed and Lutherans and other magisterial Protestants hold to the traditional practices.Many Protestants do fast during Lent.
It's just not as systematised, for us.
Really? The Resurrection is "pagan?"Easter is a pagan holiday. There is nothing Christian about it at all.
Easter is the biggest feast day in the Orthodox Church. Much bigger then Christmas.Is it because the public has less believe in resurrection or the Cross is too offensive to many?
Since neither Christmas or Easter have pagan origins, I very much doubt you were led by God not to celebrate them.I don't celebrate Easter or Christmas. I have been led by God to not celebrate them because of the pagan origins.
