6 Facts You Didn’t Know About Jehovah’s Witnesses

Jehovah’s Witnesses do not celebrate holidays.

Jehovah’s Witnesses do not celebrate the classic Christian holidays of Christmas and Easter. The reason being that the holidays are rooted in pagan origins and are not approved by God in the Bible. They believe the Bible teaches that it’s Jesus’ death, not his birth or resurrection, which should be celebrated. Holidays such as birthdays, Halloween, and Valentine’s Day are also not celebrated because of their pagan origins. They believe that such celebrations would displease God, even though they have been changed over the centuries since their creation. The fact that they were created from pagan origins is a big no-no for Jehovah’s Witnesses.
