"religious festivals are not a serious
demonstration of faith; it's just an excuse for a
party"
Some people who followa religion feel that
people do not celebrate the religious festivals
for the reasons of faith but it is an excuse for a
party.
There are some religious festivals that have
parties because it is a happy occasion such as
Christmas and Wesak.
Wesak is a Buddhist festival celebrated on the
full moon in May. It celebrates the Buddha's
birthday. Furthermore, this festival is a happy
festival because it is celebrating the Buddha's
birthday. On someone's birthday, people have
parties to share the happy occasion. Moreover,
this religious festival is not an excuse for a
party because it is a party festival.
Christmas is a Christian festival celebrated on
25th of December. It celebrated the birth of
Jesus Christ. Christians have advent which is
the countdown to Christmas on Sundays.
Furthermore, they have an orange which
presents the world.
Moreover, Christians will go to church on
Christmas day. But many people who call
themselves "Christians" or "Religious", do some
of these things or none. But these are the same
people who have parties for Christmas. People
who are not even Christians have Christmas
parties. So is Christmas just an excuse for a
party. For many people, yes which would be the
"religious" or "Christians"
Not all religious festivals are a happy occasion
such as Nirvana Day, Eid-ul-Adha and Easter.
Nirvana Day is a yearly Buddhist festival that
remembers the death of the Buddha when he
reached Nirvana at the age of 80. It is also
known as Parinirvana Day. Furthermore, this
festival is depressing festivals because it
isfestival about death. Nobody likes to
celebrate death because it is a topic that is very
sensitive. Buddhist celebrate this by meditating
or going to the Buddhist temple.
think about their lives and how they can reach
perfect peace of Nirvana. They also use this day
to remember friends and family who have died.
In conclusion, Nirvana Day is not a festival that
people would have parties for obvious reasons.
Why would you have a party for someone's
death?
Eid-ul-Adha is a Muslim festival. The festival
remembers the prophet lbrahim's
preparedness to sacrifce his son when God
ordered him to. This festival is a public festival
is Muslim countries. Muslims who can afford it.
sacrifice a sheep or goat as a reminder of
Ibrahim's obedience to Allah. In Britain, the
animal must be killed at a slaughterhouse. The
share the meat of the animal. On this day, they
will get dressed in their best clothes and go to
the mosque to say prayers and thank Allah for
all the blessings they have received.
Furthermore, this festival you could see it has a
happy festival because it is a sacrifice, or a sad
festival because it is about when lbrahim's
sacrifice his son because God told him to.
Moreover, maybe some Muslims might have a
party for his bravery and for sharing the meat.
