THE BANNING OF CHRISTMAS

THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT BANNED CHRISTMAS
FROM THE YEAR 1647 UNTIL 1660

THEY CONSIDER IT AN EVIL SATANIC PRACTICE

In 1647, The English Parliament passed a law that made Christmas illegal.

Christmas festivities were banned by Puritan leader Oliver Cromwell, who considered feasting and revelry on what was suppose to be a holy day to be immoral.

Anyone caught celebrating was arrested.

The ban was only lifted when the Puritans lost power in 1660.

However, the Puritans in America banned Christmas between 1659 and 1681.
