Thoughts and Prayers: The Religion Thread

Handel’s Messiah has been at the top of the charts since 1742.

My guess is that there isn't the same commercial hook as there is with Christmas. The Christmas story of three smart dudes presenting gifts to the baby Jesus creates a cultural and economic event that simply isn't there with Easter. Christmas also has the benefit of being close to New Year's, thereby creating a holiday season.
