THE FIRST SAINTMAS OF THE CHRISTIAN HISTORY
Anno Domini 2008
(By Donato Trovarelli)
From this year we will celebrate the SAINTmas and no more the CHRISTmas!
Jesus was not born at Christmas and we don't celebrate the solstice in winter as during the times of the worshippers of the god MITRA.
We will celebrate the saints “born again” in Christ Jesus: in practice we will celebrate the Living Church of the Living Head.
We will celebrate the Body of Christ, composed by the saints, sanctified by the Blood of Jesus and forgiven and justified because they have met the Living Jesus in their walk.
Down with the Catholic or Lutheran Christmas.
Down with a tradition which have nothing to do with us evangelicals "born again."
It is the time to dare a change.
It is the time now that we the believers affirm the truth at all costs: Jesus was born during a Roman census (from the ides of March to the ides of October) and He is not… a child!
Jesus is great, adult, resuscitated and risen from a bloody cross and now He sits on the Throne of God at the right of the glory of his Father!
We celebrate on Saintmas the people who believes in this; that day, let’s give them a hug with brotherly affection, wherever the Christians “born again” are assembled.
Let's go to our rooms of adoration or everywhere we meet for loving us each other!
We are the Body of Christ. We are not catholic wafer or liturgy, but people "born again."
We have to throw away from our places of cult all the traditions like the Christmas tree, like the manger, like the figure of Santa Claus, of Jesus child, and like every other traditions which came from not-Christian religions.
May who is born again welcome who is born again.
The SAINTMAS will be the party of all the Saints of Christ Jesus.
It will be a day of party, that can also coincide with the Catholic Christmas, but it will have another contents and another substanc.
Anybody mass, any liturgy, any religion can’t never replace the love that the believers have obligatorily to feel for their brothers in Christ Jesus.
The 25 December of this year any evangelical won’t have to wait for midnight, to pray together with whoever, but it will have to invite for lunch at least one believer "born again", to symbolize that we are still able to receive others and to feel ourselves as living joint of a Saint Living Body. The SAINTMAS is the gesture of reception through the AGAPE brotherly.
In such occasion we will be able to sing to the Lord, to thank him and to praise him, because we will be among believers who can share the joy to belong to a Living Church without denominations, but simply characterized by our "salvation" that Jesus has personally assured to every of us!
Jesus will be visible in the middle of us, if we love each other as He has loved us.
With the SAINTMAS we will finally spread a new evangelical culture, the salvation through the Blood of Jesus Christ.
Why on December 25?
A party of the Christian community in the end of the year is the ideal to make the point on a whole year of brotherly relationships and if anything lacks, there are 7 days more to make it up!
