Why New Years Day January 1

Heard this guest on a rerun Johnny Carson show who complained how silly it was to have New Years day on January 1 because of the cold and snow. “It should be in Easter because spring time is when the world gives birth, and so on.” Well he was right because it use to be in March until Pope Gregory changed it to Jan. 1. Or he approved the change by some Emperor.  That’s where April fools comes from. Those Catholics that continued or would keep on celebrating it on the 24 or 25, which went on for 7 or 8 days ending in April became known as April Fools.
 
Well it only proves that it doesn’t pay to go against Mother Nature. Ha.
 
Also we have 2018 starting off with a FULL MOON. Psalms 88:38 “…like the Moon, which remains forever, a faithful witness in the Sky.”
Remember Easter comes in with a Full Moon.
 
In Christ, Joseph

Oh Oh Christmas Tree and Luther – To Catholics, the Christmas Tree is a Symbol of Moses and the Burning Bush

Story has it, Luther was walking in the woods at night and when he looked up to seeing the stars through the branches, that’s when he got the idea to put candles on the trees.
 
Germany is credited with starting the Christmas tree tradition as we now know it in the 16th century when devout Christians brought decorated trees into their homes. … It is a widely held belief that Martin Luther, the 16th-century Protestant reformer, first added lighted candles to a tree.

The Gospel for the last Sunday after Pentecost Explained

This Gospel gives us many signs and prophecies of the second coming of Christ, which of course we should be anticipating for the new year. Traditionally, Great Chastisements from God generally happen during the Lenten Season.
I will go down the line to these passages and try to show you how they apply to the Vatican Council II generation.
 
Matthew 24:15
