Random religion question - my son is learning about the Abrahamic religions in school (from a historical perspective, not a religious one; he's in 1st grade). This morning he asked why Christmas has "Christ" in it and I told him that it was taken from a pagan holiday and essentially repurposed to convert folks; that Jesus was born in the Spring (we know from details in the story of his birth) and Easter is similar in that it was also originally pagan. He asked if Judisim or Islam did this 👇🏽
