today in the Catholic Church? What are the historical origins of the Christian symbols, dates and rituals used today in the Catholic Church? E.g. the halos of Catholic saints, the elements of the Catholic ritual, the miter, the altar, the doxology, and communion, December 25 as Christ's birthday, Sunday as our Sabbath day, while the Jewish Sabbath is Saturday...

catholicism is the first church and it contains the teachings of apostles.. the sabbath of judaism is not allowed in the christianity.. the christian church says there is no day of resting.. according to the Church.. the celebration of the Last Supper each sunday because it comes from the Bible.

There are several good books about what you are asking. One is The Catholic Source Book. The details about the book are here:
