The Meaning of Home

Home is a feeling where you're happy and you're feeling safe. My religion in every possible way is what makes me feel happy and safe because I'm in the presence of my God. I am a Christian and we celebrate celebrations like Easter, Christmas, Lent , Ash Wednesday,Pentecost, Good Friday, Palm Sunday, Etc. I go to church every Sunday and I sometimes serve at the altar and whenever I serve I'm also with other people that are serving with me and we take it very seriously, now i'm going to explain the definition of some of those holidays. Easter might be a familiar celebration that includes an Easter bunny and eggs , but its is a whole different celebration for Christians. It's a Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Next, Christmas. Christmas might seem to be only presents and a tree but it's actually a christian holiday to remember the birth of Jesus Christ. Next, Lent. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday for six and half weeks before Easter. Next, Ash Wednesday. As I may have said before, Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and it is important because it marks the start of the Lenten period leading up to Easter which Christians believe is when Jesus resurrected from the dead. Next Pentecost. Pentecost is not really a fixed date because it moves every year; it's the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the feast of weeks. Christianity is a religion based of the teachings of Jesus Christ And it's what makes me feel at home the most.
