The Doctor was apparently present at his birth (DW: Voyage of the Damned) and his death (DW: Planet of the Dead). These two events are responsible for the earth holidays of Christmas and Easter. Christianity is one of countless religions throughout the universe to have a devil figure inspired by the Beast. (DW: The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit)
