What do jehova witnesses celebrate?

Answer 1

The only "holiday" that Jehovah's Witnesses observe as a matter of religion is the Memorial of the death of Jesus Christ. Jesus himself instituted this observance in the year 33, and instructed his followers to "Keep doing this in rememberance of me."(Luke 22:19)

That is the only holiday that is commanded by Jesus to observe. Not his birth, nor his resurrection, but rather the memorial of his death.

We also celebrate wedding anniversaries, graduations, and any other celebrations that are not pagan or nationalistic in origin.

But what Jesus was referring to when he said this was the Passover. As Wvafan stated Jesus said to do this in remembrance of me. But Jesus was eating the Passover (Lord's Supper) when he said this. He wanted us to remember Christ's flesh and blood through the bread and wine.

Jehovah witnesses don't celebrate any holiday. they do anniversary and engagement and stuff like that but not Easter and Christmas, holloween, valintine stuff like that. hope it answered your question

Jehovah's Witnesses do not take part in any holiday or any activities related to the holiday. Jehovah's Witnesses also do not take part in birthday celebrations. That includes attending the party, watching the opening of gifts, buying gifts, or eating the food that was served at the party( they do not eat the food because the food was made for the celebration and there for would be taking part if the food was eaten). On the other hand Jehovah's Witnesses do go to graduations,weddings, and babyshowers.

Hope this helps a little.

Sinserly,

Jehovah's Witnesses

Answer 2

The most important celebration that Jehovah's Witnesses observe yearly is the Memorial of the death of their leader and king, Jesus Christ. This is the only celebration Christians are actually commanded to observe. (Luke 22:19; 1 Corinthians 11:24)

Jehovah's people also happily celebrate births (Psalm 127:3 ) and wedding anniversaries (John 2:1,2).

Jehovah's Witnesses also attach great significance to their modern assemblies and conventions. Even though these large meetings are scheduled to the availability of meeting places and are not scheduled to commemorate particular dates, governmental agencies generally accept these events as having the same legal protections as religious holidays. In fact, most devout Witnesses feel compelled to make special effort to attend the assemblies and conventions scheduled for their congregation.

Answer 3

Jehovah's Witnesses celebrate occassion they feel significant or joyous in their lives such as weddings, anniversaries, the birth of a child, a graduation, leaving home, arriving in a new location and many more.

They only have one religious celebration, the annual memorial of Christ's death observed in early spring and avoid celebrations with pagan origins.

Answer 4

We do celebrate the ff:

1. Weddings

2. Graduations

3. Reunions

4. Homecoming

5. The usual get together of brothers and sisters

And many other things that are worth celebrating that are not pagan and does not violate our obedience to the Jehovah's Biblical moral standards.

Answer 5

We celebrate weddings, wedding anniversaries, things that are not unscriptural (baby showers, bridal showers and the like). But the most important thing that we celebrate or observe is the Memorial of Jesus Christ.

Answer 6

Jehovah's Witnesses don't make a big deal about 'celebrating' things, with the exception of the Lord's Evening Meal; which Christ Jesus commanded his followers to 'celebrate' or 'observe'. We celebrate it with a discource, song, and prayer; and with bread and wine being passed around.

Other than that - - What's the big deal about the word 'celebrate'? Why does everything have to be about 'celebrating'? Who is to decide what we celebrate? Is the rest of the world going to dictate to us a celebration that might have originated with pagans? We don't celebrate Satan at Halloween? We don't celebrate the many lies associated with Christmas (Santa / the date / the origin and things added to it over the years.)

We might or might not celebrate our anniversary. Maybe with dinner out.

We might or might not celebrate - just plain celebrate nothing.

We might have a party; talent show; baby-shower; wedding, and then the reception. We might just have a plain old 'family party'.

This week we're having an 'Amazing Race' party. (A TV show in America.) In a few weeks we'll get together for a 3-hour 'Survivor' Party; have dinner before (and oh, we do like alcohol too.)

And the list goes on.

So just forget the word 'celebrate'. It's rigged-up more than it ought to be in people's minds.

Answer 7

No, Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate holidays with Pagan origins such as Easter, Christmas or Halloween.
