Puritan Holidays The Puritans did not celebrate any scheduled holidays like Christmas or Easter. However, on any day when God favored them with good things, they were allowed to celebrate either the Day of Humiliation and Fasting or the Day of Thanksgiving and Praise. Surprisingly, many people agreed with the Puritans. Easter was not widely celebrated in the United States until after the Civil War. The reason the Puritans did not celebrate holidays like Easter and Christmas was because of the fact that they came from Pagan ideas. From 1659 to 1681, there was a ban in Massachusetts on Christmas celebrations as well as gambling and other lawless behaviors.
Puritan Living Conditions ,[object Object]
Puritan Religion The Puritans felt that they were chosen by God for a special purpose and that they must live every moment in fearing God. Every man, woman, and child was expected to attend the meeting on the Sabbath. Puritans were required to read the Bible which showed their religious discipline. If they didn't read the Bible, it was thought that they were worshiping the devil. Upon entering, people would take their appropriate places. The men sat on one side, the women sat on the other, and the boys did not sit with their parents, but sat together in a where they were expected to sit in complete silence. The deacons sat in the front row just below the pulpit because everyone agreed the first pew was the one of highest dignity. The servants and slaves crowded near the door and rushed to a loft or balcony.The service began with a prayer given by the minister that usually lasted around an hour. Puritans did not like music in their services. It was many years before any musical instruments were allowed in the church. After the prayer, the minister would continue with an emotional sermon. The minister's sermon would last for two, three, even four hours at a time without restroom breaks or intermissions. The Puritans listened intently to the terrible warnings of sin and punishment.
Puritan Government The colony's charter granted to the Massachusetts General Court the authority to elect officers and to make laws for the colony. Its first meeting in America was held October 1630, but was attended by only eight freemen. Soon after they created the First Church of Boston. The freemen voted to grant all legislative, executive, and judicial power to a "Council" of the Governor's assistants (those same eight men). They then set up town boundaries, created taxes, and elected officers. To quell unrest caused by this limited franchise, the eight then added 118 settlers to the court as freemen, but power remained with the council. By 1641, the colony had added its first code of laws, the Massachusetts Body of Liberties, written by Nathaniel Ward, based partly on John Cotton's draft (Abstract of the Laws of New-England, As They Are Now Established), which specified required behavior and punishments by appeal to the Judeo-Christian social sanctions recorded in the Bible.
 
The Puritans believe in predestination, meaning that when you are born God already knows whether you are going to heaven or hell. They believed that the rich were predestined because they were blessed with riches on earth. Despite these beliefs they still followed strict rules and worshiped God openly "just in case" being good could help your chances of going to heaven.They frowned on unnecessary things, and believed that everything was God given, they forbade such things as dancing as they found it to be sinful. The name Puritan comes from their feeling the need to purify the Church of England that persecuted them. They didn't believe in religious leaders, and strictly followed the Bible. Other Puritan Religious Beliefs
Puritan Attire Puritans advocated a conservative form of fashionable attire, characterized by "sad" or somber colors and modest cuts. Gowns with low necklines were filled in with high-necked smocks and wide collars. Married women covered their hair with a linen cap, over which they might wear a tall black hat. Men and women both avoided bright colors, shiny fabrics, and over-ornamentation. Contrary to popular belief, most Puritans and Calvinists did not wear black for everyday, especially in England, Scotland, and colonial America. Black dye was expensive and faded quickly, and black clothing was reserved for the most formal occasions (including having ones portrait painted), for elders in a community, and for those of higher rank. More typical colors for most were brown, murrey (mulberry, a brownish-maroon), dull greens, and tawny colors. Wool and linen were preferred over silks and satins, though Puritan women of rank wore modest amounts of lace and embroidery as appropriate to their station, believing that the various ranks of society were divinely ordained and should be reflected even in the most modest dress. Men's outfits consisted of a felt hat, a ruff, a doublet, cuffs, breeches, garters, stockings, and shoes. women's outfits consisted of a coif on the head, a waist coast, a shift, an apron, a petticoat, and shoes.
