  • reasons why christmas is more important than easter
    the incarnation is more significant- if jesus had not been born, god wouldn't have entered the world. without christmas easter wouldn't have happened so everything on easter depends on christmas. christmas is more about giving to others, coming together and thinking of the less fortunate, which is putting faith into action.
