Thread: Do you think religous festivals have lost their meanings?

Since I'm not a christian I can't say anything about christmas , but our religious festival still haven't lost their meaning. People still celebrate it because of what it represents and not make some quick bucks over product marketing.

No, I don't think so. To the general public I'm sure some festivals are just another 'event' but to each person it can have it's own strong and deep connection and meaning.

It's a time to eat, drink and celebrate with major festivals -- Eid, Holi & Easter -- all happening. Yes they have somehow lost their zest, as a pressing race against time and pressures of urban lifestyle are taking a heavy toll on the city's life and the effect in which the festive spirits are being celebrated over the years. I think the Spirit of the Festive season has been taken over by the demands of modern life, or is it just a question of perspective?

as im a Muslim i want to say that people celebrate thier religions event with full passion and joy we enjoy alot

Well religious festivals have not lost their meaning but the actual problem is that we are going further from our religion and so we are loosing interest in our festivals and i think thats the reason that religious festivals seem like that are loosing their meaning.
