What are evidences of Christmas and Easter and other holy days celebrated?

Is there evidence for Christmas, yes, in records the Roman census was the reason for Joseph and Mary’s visit to Bethlehem.  Astrologically, the star of Bethlehem appeared on day of the Birth of Jesus, as to the season, the Bible mentions that it was a cold night.  But let’s just say we celebrate a day for the Birth of Jesus so we begin a new year by accepting Jesus into our lives and renew ourselves to be like minded as Christ.  Most of these records were lost over time but surely it was still available for scrutiny during the time of the first Gospels and there were people like the Bereans who never accepted anything without evidence and scrutiny.

How about Easter?  Jesus was the sacrificial lamb, he was crucified by the insistence of the high priest according to Jewish law, not Roman law, as he was already whipped for it as per the Roman law for his alleged blasphemy.  This happened on passover so we have a clearly linked history with Jewish passover.  When was Jesus resurrected?  He was on earth 40 days before he went up to heaven.  How about Pentecost? It’s 49 days after crucification on 50th day.  Everything in the Bible has time and season. Not all records are available to us today but I’m sure the Bible so heavily debated had access to evidence of each era, even today changes are applied in the light of new evidence and  every change noted in footnotes with reference.

Is Jesus God, did he receive worship?

Jesus is Lord by his own Testament Mark 14:61 Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? 62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Jesus was quoting scriptures here from Daniel:7: 13  “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence.   14  He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed. Revelation 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. God the Father exalts Jesus as Lord who created Heaven and Earth: Hebrews 1:8  But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God...

What is the evidence of Holy Trinity?

The Holy Trinity in the Bible God the Father sent his angel Gabriel to promise Mary God the son through the Holy Spirit Luke 1:35  And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. Detailed Reference: John 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.   14  The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.  John 1:10  He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. John 1:17  For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18  No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and[ b ] is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him know...

Was Jesus is sent to the whole world?

Jesus and the Lost sheep of Israel Mathew 15:22  And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23  But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24  But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel . 25  Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26  But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27  And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 28  Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt . And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. John 10:16  And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring , and...
