Hello,
This is not a thread for the pros and cons of Christmas and Easter, but I am seeking historical information.
Coming across some of the documents from the Dutch Reformed churches it seems commanded or expected that Christmas and Easter are part of the Church Calendar.
Is this true and where does it say so? And was this a normal feature of all the Dutch Reformed Churches? And how did they reconcile that with the Regulative Principle?
Again, this thread is not to bash "holidays" but to seek what they did at that time and their own justification for it.
