• God is active throughout people’s lives and is always with them and so there is no need for special feast days.
• It would be more benefi cial to carry out Christ’s actions by actively serving the poor than attending church to remember a past event.
• It may encourage Christians to only worship on these feasts and festivals and neglect God the rest of the time.
• It may remove God from everyday experiences, trials and tribulations.
On the other hand:
• The Church already carries out the actions of Christ by serving the poor on a regular basis, example Food banks, Missionary Societies, The Salvation Army, Shoebox appeal.
• Some feasts deserve special recognition, example Easter is the highpoint of the Church year.
• Festivals may give the believer a special sense of purpose.
• Festivals highlight the signifi cant aspects of the faith and it brings people together.
• Sacrifices are made during Lent and there is a great emphasis placed on giving alms to the poor.
