In 1710 it became a decreed "dogma"
(required belief)
that a STUFFED DONKEY at
the church of the Madonna of the Organs in Verona, Italy, is the actual animal Yahusha rode into Yerushalayim on.
When I first heard
about this, I couldn't stop laughing for about 10 minutes. Many
other dogmas like this are included in the
Roman Catholic Church Timeline
(click link) and in
the book Fossilized Customs.
If you would like to know the origins of the pagan
customs in popular customs, order a copy of Fossilized Customs at www.torahzone.net
