The popular figure who worships with the Kristo Asafo church said the two Christian celebrations had no biblical basis hence his refusal to indulge in them.
Osebo made the startling revelation in an interview with blogger, Zion Felix on his Youtube channel.
Addressing the similarities between his mode of worship and that of religious leader, Ajagurajah, Osebo noted they both did not celebrate these festivals
“I don’t celebrate Christmas and Easter but I celebrate New Year because it’s the only one that has been prescribed,” He noted “In my church, the 1st of April is our New Year, that’s all we celebrate. We use a different calendar because there are only 12 hours in a day, not 24 hours,”
Citing an example, Osebo mentioned that it would be wrong to celebrate the death of a loved one with the same object that killed him.
“Imagine you lose your dad and he was killed by a tree. Do you think it’s reasonable to go to the forest each year to go and celebrate the tree that killed him like you people do when it’s time for easter? Are you remembering their pain??” he quizzed
Rather he encouraged Christians to eagerly participate in the Lord’s Supper which has been mandated as a memorial to honour the death of Christ.
“Which part of the bible asks us to celebrate Christmas?? It was instituted by Emperor Constantine. The Bible asks us to celebrate the Lord’s Supper so you are ignoring the bible and using what a man laid down,” he pointed out.
