Was Christmas originally a pagan holiday adopted by Christianity?
Those are some interesting theories. Do you know if there are any other major holidays that have a similarly blended history?
Yes, there are several examples of holidays that have evolved over time through cultural blending. Halloween, for instance, has roots in pagan harvest festivals but has since been incorporated into Christian observances such as All Saints' Day. Similarly, Valentine's Day has connections to both ancient pagan fertility festivals and the Christian notion of martyrdom.
