Does it mean NOTHING that Christian motifs and events have been overlaid on this originally pagan season? ------------ Why not let the Scriptures answer that question! We can learn from the occasion when the Israelites adopted an Egyptian religious practice and renamed it “a festival to Jehovah.” They too “sat down to eat and drink” and “got up to have a good time.” But their actions greatly angered Jehovah God, and he severely punished them.—Exodus 32:1-10, 25-28, 35. God’s Word is very clear. There can be no sharing between the “light” of true beliefs and the “darkness” of Satan’s world; there can be no “harmony” between Christ and pagan worship. We are told: “‘Therefore get out from among them, and separate yourselves,’ says Jehovah, ‘and quit touching the unclean thing’; ‘and I will take you in.’”—2 Corinthians 6:14-18. As only the Memorial celebration—not Easter—is commanded in the Bible for Christians, it should be observed. http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/memorial/
