👉Aral ni Fr Darwin Gitgano galing daw sa Pagano? vs INC Minister ni Manalo

Ang sektang(INC™) na nagmamay-ari ng strukturang ito (Phil.Arena) ay panay tuligsa at paninira sa Rosaryo at Novena natin na kesho sa PAGANO daw?

Pero, bakit hindi muna tignan ang sarile nila? hindi ba nila alam ang pagdiriwang nila ng NEW-YEAR at paggamit ng FIREWORKS, ay parehong NAGMULA SA PAGANISMO?

Hindi mapagkakaila sa sarili nila at hayagan pa nga na nag cecelebrate sila ng NEW YEAR, masayang ipinagdidiwang at sinasalubong ang Bagong Taon , gumagamit pa nga ng mga FIREWORKS display. without knowing na ang mga ito pala ay historically ay tradisyon na nagmula sa Pagano?

■ NEW-YEAR CELEBRATION, A CUSTOM OF PAGAN ORIGIN.

“ New Year's is one of the oldest and most universal of all PAGAN TRADITIONS “ (Source : Pagan customs, page 48)

“ NEW YEAR’S DAY, early customs. Even the earliest of the ancient nations had customs that celebrated New Year’s Day.... In Ancient Rome, the first day of the year was given over to honoring Janus, the god of the gates and doors and of beginnings and endings. The Month of January was named after this god.” (Source: the World Book Encyclopedia, page 236, Volume 13, copyright 1960)

“ the earliest-known record of a New Year’s festival dates from about 2,000 B.C in Mesopotamia, where the New Year (Aklu) commenced with the New moon nearest the spring equinox (mid-march; Babylonia) or nearest the autumn equinox (mid-September; Assyria) “ (Source: Encyclopedia Britannica 1998)

“ The Romans dedicated New Year’s Day to Janus, the god of the gates, doors, and beginnings for whom the first month of the year (January) is also named. After Julius Caesar reformed the calendar in 46 BC and was subsequently murdered, the Roman Senate voted to deify [glorifying] him on the 1st January 42 BC in
