i’ve always found it so strange when people say they want a catholic wedding because it’s pretty, but they don’t want to participate in all the practices involved.

if you’re not willing to partake in catholic traditions maybe you shouldn’t be wanting a catholic wedding?

the reason catholic weddings are so beautiful is because of the faith, beliefs and traditions behind them. you can’t just pick up the aesthetic and ignore where it came from. imagine if somebody did that with any other religions traditions. you would be disgusted.

conservatives need to realize that just because something is a part of your tradition, doesn't mean that tradition is infallible and not allowed to be questioned ever, especially if its toxic

Crafting Spirituality: Finding Peace in Handicrafts

The act of sitting quietly while working on a simple handicraft has been intertwined with spirituality. In a world filled with noise and distractions, the age-old practice of crafting endures as a means to find inner peace and share love and spirituality

Since the early days of Christianity, the act of sitting quietly while working on a simple handicraft has been intertwined with spirituality. The Apostle Paul, known for his missionary journeys and teachings, was also a tent maker. It’s easy to imagine that his time spent crafting served not only as a practical endeavor but also as a time of quiet reflection and listening to his inner voices. In…

Is a name day different from a birthday

Yeah, and quite significantly so!

See this here? It's what the card from a typical tearaway calendar looks like in Poland. This one is from March 5th 2001. At the bottom you will see a bunch of names listed. That's who celebrates their name day on March 5th.

In countries that are more or less deeply Christian, a name day is a celebration connected to the saint whose name you're carrying, and not the day of your birth. Throughout the year a lot of the more popular names (in Poland that's for example Anna and Piotr) pop up on multiple days, so then a person who has such a name has more days for celebration to choose from. Though usually there were so many saints that most names pop up several times of the year. Still, certain names are generally tied to particular days at least symbolically - 14th of February is the day of Saint Valentine (Walenty; we call the holiday Walentynki) and 31st od December is the day of Saint Sylvester (Sylwester; that's why in Poland new year's eve is commonly known as Sylwester).

The celebration of a name day varies from family to family, though in more traditional families there's usually a small party; it's usually an affair for family and close friends. There can be cake and small gifts like flowers and sweets involved. But again, that depends.

Christian Symbols and Their Meanings

The Cross, the Dove, and the Fish are Christian symbols and their meanings have always been a big part of how believers express their faith. Designs with these symbols are on T-shirts, jewelry, and other accessories. These symbols aren’t just designs; they carry deep meanings from the Bible and Christian tradition. When people wear them, they’re not just making a fashion statement—they’re showing…

Rituals Are Important (Exodus 13:1-10)

Ritual activities are meaningful re-telling of stories for us and others.

The Passover Meal (Last Supper) by Jess Santos The Lord spoke to Moses, “Set apart every firstborn male for me. Every firstborn male offspring among the Israelites is mine, whether human or animal.” Then Moses said to the people, “Remember this day—the day when you left Egypt, the land of slavery. The Lord used his mighty hand to bring you out of there. Don’t eat anything made with…

Bible scholar Dan McClellan has several videos analyzing this, including this one.

This is a reference to the Talmud, where the rabbis determined that between 40 days gestation and birth, a fetus is a part of a woman's thigh, like a limb. Prior to 40 days gestation, it's just considered water. For this reason, within Jewish Halakha, Jewish law, abortion is permissible. And there are even times when it is considered a religious obligation. ... We have other parts of the Hebrew Bible that make clear that a fetus was not considered a full legal and moral person until birth.

He details a couple of Bible passages that confirm that thesis sentence. Christians call the Hebrew Bible "The Old Testament." It's part of the Christian Bible, too.

For the overwhelming majority of the history of Christianity, a fetus was not considered a full moral and legal person until what was known as the quickening, which was associated with the feeling of independent movement on the part of the fetus, which was associated with its full development.

It's odd how often modern Christians don't believe what Christians used to believe, or what was believed by the societies that wrote the Bible.
