Merry Christmas once again
I have a question..
And the question is.. Is Christmas all about the birth of Christ?
I will love you guys to contribute because I am lost.
Christmas 🌲 they say its when Christ was born.
And it is celebrated every 25th of December.
On this day Christ alone is supposed to be celebrated but it has turned out not so.
In our country Nigeria, Christmas has turned out to be a day where sacrifices and rituals are made just for them to celebrate Christ along side their culture.
This is the culture of Opobo local government area of Rivers state culture which is displayed in Ikot Abasi local government area of Akwa Ibom state every 25th of December not only by traditionalist but majority of Christians.
It is known as Nwatam. Which was first played at Ewanga. It has so many groups with different uniforms and dancing steps.
Before this culture is being displayed....so many sacrifices has to be done in the water to appease the gods involved.
My question again..
Must it be on the Christmas day?
A day we are supposed to be adoring him
A day we are supposed to be in church
A day Christ was born
Is Christmas all about the birth of Christ?
