CHRISTMAS TREE

HAKIZIMANA Maurice

The Encyclopedia Britannica wrote:

 “Tree worship, common among the pagan Europeans, survived after their conversion to Christianity.” One of the ways in which tree worship survived is in the custom of “placing a Yule tree at an entrance or inside the house in the midwinter holidays.”​Encyclopædia Britannica.”

The New York Times asks :

 “Why the christmas tree is decorated with lights?”

And it answers:

According to The Encyclopedia of Religion, Europeans decorated their homes “with lights and evergreens of all kinds” to celebrate the winter solstice and to combat evil spirits.“

My question is: why do all the feasts of the Church have origins in pagan customs and rites? Are their pagans better than ours?
