Jeremiah 10:2-4
2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

from Jeremiah, CHAP. X. 10:1 - 5 (akjv 1611)
10:1 Heare ye the word which the Lord speaketh vnto you, O house of Israel. 2 Thus sayeth the Lord, Learne not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signes of heaven, for the heathen are dismayed at them. 3 For the +customes of the people are vaine : for one cutteth a tree out of the forrest (the worke of the handes of the workman) with the axe. 4 They decke it with silver and with golde, they fasten it with nayles, and with hammers that it moove not. 5 They are vpright as the palm tree, *but speake not : they must needes bee *borne, because they cannot goe : be not afraid of them,for*they cannot doe evil, neither also is it in them to doe good.

of a truth, biblical support is above ALL & the LORD in heaven is the final say in the matter - now ask yourselves, do you recognize this custom & when is it practiced in present day? from this, what does that say of they that practice this tradition, knowing that the LORD commanded it not?
many thanks, Atlas ~ the LORD in heaven bless & keep you.
