Quote:
"Their creed forbade anything resembling a theater or "vain enjoyment." They did not celebrate Christmas, and a holiday from work meant only that they must concentrate even more upon prayer."
Pg. 4
Comment:
(E) This quote is from the introduction from before. I cannot believe that the people in Salem, Massachusetts cannot enjoy an form of entertainment. Also, assuming that these are Protestants, because they live in the north (Massachusetts) and their ancestors broke away from the Catholic church in Europe, why aren't they celebrating Christmas? Most Protestant religions celebrate Christmas. And they SHOULD always pray but that's a lot of praying to make you not celebrate Christmas; which is a very sacred day to most Protestant religions.
