Thanksgiving |
Come Out Of Her My People Revelation 18:4 |
The following was quoted from an email sent to me from Wildlife wins. I thought it interesting to note that even the so called American tradition of Thanksgiving celebration has it's roots in pagan worship. "Throughout the ages, harvest festivals and thanksgiving celebrations have been held by countries and civilizations around the world. In Greece , a three-day festival was held each autumn in honour of the goddess of grains, Demeter, while in Rome , in the hope of a good harvest, Ceres, the goddess of corn, was honoured at the harvest festival, Cerelia. The ancient Chinese named their harvest festival Chung Ch'ui , which was considered the birthday of the moon. Special "moon cakes", yellow and round like the moon, were baked and each stamped with a picture of a rabbit - as it was a rabbit, and not a man, which the Chinese saw on the face of the moon. While feasting on roasted pig, harvested fruits and "moon cakes", it was believed that, during the three-day festival, flowers would fall from the moon and those who saw them would be rewarded with good fortune.
