Christ Was NOT Born in December!

Does it Matter?

“in the scriptures sinners alone, NOT saints celebrate their birthdays.”
– the Catholic Encyclopedia

“In the Scriptures, no one is recorded
to have kept a feast or held a great banquet
on his birthday. It is only sinners who make
great rejoicings over the day in which they
were born into this world”
– (Catholic Encyclopedia, 1908 edition,
Vol. 3, p. 724, “Natal Day”).

“(Christmas)- Such a festival came under
the condemnation of Galatians 4:9-11,
and should have no place in a Christian church.”
-Romanism vs. Apostolic Christianity,
Helgerson; Dr. Ironside; (Chicago); 1919

“But now you know God… So why are you turning
back to those weak and worthless beliefs?
Do you want to be slaves to them all over again?
You are observing special days and months and
seasons and years!….I am afraid that somehow
I have wasted my efforts on you.”
(Galatians 4:9-11)(NIRV)-BibleGateway

“the general Christian usage was to
celebrate the death of remarkable persons
rather than their birth.”
(Encyclopedia Americana, 1942, Vol.6, 623)

“…the day of one’s death is better
than the day of one’s birth.
The end of a matter is better
than its beginning…”
(Ecclesiastes 7:1,8)(NASB)-BibleGateway

If God had wanted us to celebrate Christ’s birth –
he would have recorded the date – but he didn’t.
But-the exact date and time of his son’s death
WAS recorded.

Not only is the concept “WRONG” for a Birthday
Celebration for Christ – but even the date is wrong,
since the Bible’s account clearly shows that Jesus
was born in a Warm month. The Fact that all
the pagan sun-gods starting with Nimrod of Ancient
Babylon – celebrated their birthdays on Dec. 25,
makes the compromise even that much worse.

“Clearly, Jesus was not born in December.”
— Christmas
By Darren E. Mays and Michael B. Willey

How do we Know ?

So many people celebrate Jesus’ Birth
in the Cold month of December. They don’t
even think about it. They just do it.

Shepherds Sleeping Outdoors at Night
Only in Warmer Months.

But those who are familiar with the Bible’s
account of his birth, would know that he was
born in a warm month, when the shepherds were
still sleeping out doors at night – with their
flocks.

“Carefully reading the story in the Bible,
we find that Christ was not born in the winter.
During the winter, it is usually cold and wet i
n the Holy Land. Any good shepherd would not
leave his sheep out in the elements to suffer
from the cold. Look at Luke 2:7-8:
“And she brought forth her firstborn Son,
and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths,
and laid Him in a manger, because there was
no room for them in the inn. Now there were i
n the same country shepherds living out in
the fields, keeping watch over their flock
by night.” “
-Was Christ Really Born on Christmas?
By Lorelei Nettles

Also, Joseph and Mary would not have traveled
to Bethlehem in the cold wet month of December.
The census was always done in warmer months.

“And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field,
keeping watch over their flock by night”
(Luke 2:8).

“This simple statement from the Gospel of Luke
is sufficient evidence to defeat the argument
that Christ was born on Dec. 25.”
– Christmas
By Darren E. Mays and Michael B. Willey

“It was the practice of shepherds 2,000 years ago
to take their flocks out into the fields during
warm weather and to stay with the flock overnight
to guard against predators. In December, however,
it is too cold for the sheep to be in the fields
and they were kept in pens.”
– Christmas
By Darren E. Mays and Michael B. Willey

“It is clear that our Savior was born before
the 25th of December. At that time it is cold,
and especially in the high and mountainous regions a
bout Bethlehem”
-noted commentator, Albert Barnes
(Barnes’ Notes on the New Testament, Vol. 1,
Kregel Publications, 1962, p. 189).

“Since the flocks were taken up in late October
there would have been no shepherds in the field
to hear the message of the angel of God
(Luke 2:9-14) had Jesus been born on Dec. 25.”
– Christmas
By Darren E. Mays and Michael B. Willey

Very Cold Winters in December
in Bethlehem and Israel

“Evidence of the harsh nature of the weather
in the Middle East in December can be found i
n recent history. On Dec. 17, 1992, the Israeli
government banished Palestinians to southern
Lebanon because of the bitter cold.”
– (Time, Jan. 11, 1993, pp. 10-22).

“There is no certainty as to the month or day
of the birth [of Jesus]. The Christmas date,
December 25…was…borrowed from a pagan festival.
‘December’… seems unlikely, as unsuitable
for the pasturing of flocks. A more probable date –
is a couple of months earlier”
-(The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia,
1986, “Jesus Christ,” p. 1628).

A far more likely scenario is that Jesus was born
in the early autumn, around the time of the biblical
Feast of Tabernacles (Leviticus 23:34-36), when Joseph
and Mary would have traveled to Jerusalem to keep
the Feast along with thousands of other Jewish families.
This also helps us understand why in the town Bethlehem,
a few miles to the south of Jerusalem, “there was no room
for them in the inn” (Luke 2:7)- the town would have been
crowded with other travelers keeping the Feast at this
time of year.

Christ Was Born in a WARM Month!

CHRIST’S BIRTH – NOT IN THE WINTER!

“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby,
keeping watch over their flocks at night.”
(Luke 2:8)(NIV)-BibleGateway

The Biblical account says that the Shepherds and their
sheep were still sleeping outdoors at the time of
Christ’s birth. Winter-time would have been too Cold.

“…the last week of December corresponds to the tenth
month of the Jewish sacred calendar known as Tebeth,
when there are frequent frosts and occasional snow
florishes in Jerusalem…”
– The Geography of the Bible; by Denis Baly

CHRIST WAS PROBABLY BORN IN LATE SEPTEMBER –
OR EARLY OCTOBER

“It was an ancient custom among the Jews of those days
to send their sheep to the fields and deserts about
Passover (early spring)and bring them home at
commencement of the first rain…
During the time they were out, the shepherds watched them
night and day, as… the first rains began early
in the month of Marchesvan, which answers to part of our
October… we find that the sheep were kept out
in the open country during the whole summer,
and as these shepherds had not yet brought home their flocks,
it is a presumptive argument that October had not yet
commenced(begun), and consequently, our Lord was not born
on the 25th of December, when no flocks were out in the
fields by night. On this very ground, the nativity in December
should be given up.”
– Adam Clark Commentary, Volume 5, page 347

“It is evident that Jesus was not born
during the middle of winter, for at the time of his birth,
the shepherds were living out in the fields with their
flocks. As the bible says: ‘There were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their
flock by night” (Luke 2:8). As is well known, the shepherds
in Palestine do not “abide in the fields” during
the winter season because of the extreme, cold
temperatures. The shepherds always bring their flocks
in from the mountain slopes and fields no later than
October 15th! “
– Mede’s Works, 1679. Discourse xlvii

THE WEATHER IN JERUSALEM / BETHLEHEM –
IS BITTER COLD IN DECEMBER

“Israeli meteorologists tracked December weather patterns
for many years and concluded that the climate in Israel
has been essentially constant for at least the last 2,000
years… “broadly speaking, weather phenomena
and climatic conditions as pictured in the Bible
correspond with conditions as observed today”
-The Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible
(R.B.Y. Scott, Vol. 3, Abingdon Press, Nashville,
1962, p. 625).

“The temperature in the area of Bethlehem
in December….can drop to well below freezing,
especially at night. Describing the weather there,
Sara Ruhin, chief of the Israeli weather service,
noted in a 1990 press release that the area has
three months of frost:and in December with 29 F.”

Snow is common for two or three days in Jerusalem
and nearby Bethlehem in December and January.
These were the winter months of increased precipitation
in Christ’s time, when the roads became practically
unusable and people stayed mostly indoors.

A common practice of shepherds was keeping their
flocks in the field from April to October,
but in the cold and rainy winter months – they
took their flocks back home and sheltered them.

“as these shepherds had not yet brought home their flocks,
it is a presumptive argument that October had not yet
commenced(begun), and that, consequently, our Lord
was NOT born on the 25th of December, when no flocks
were out in the fields; nor could He have been born
later than September, as the flocks were still in the
fields by night. On this very ground the nativity in
December should be given up. The feeding of the
flocks by night in the fields is a chronological fact,
which casts considerable light upon this disputed point”
– (Adam Clarke’s Commentary,
Abingdon Press, Nashville,
note on Luke 2:8).

SCHOLARS AGREE —

CHRIST WAS NOT BORN IN DECEMBER

“These humble pastoral folk are out in the field at night
with their flock – a feature of the story which would
argue against the birth of Christ occurring on Dec. 25
since the weather would not have permitted it”
– (The Interpreter’s One-Volume Commentary,
Abingdon Press, Nashville, 1971, note on Luke 2:4-7).

“Shepherds and their flocks would not be found
“abiding” (Gr. agrauleo) in the open fields at night
in December (Tebeth), for the paramount reason
that there would be no pasturage at that time.
It was the custom then (as now) to withdraw the flocks
during the month Marchesven Oct.-Nov.) from the open
districts and house them for the winter.”
– The Companion Bible, Appendix 179

“The temperature in the area of Bethlehem in
December averages around 44 degrees Fahrenheit
but can drop to well below freezing, especially
at night. That area has three months of frost:
December with 29 degrees Fahrenheit.”
-Sara Ruhin,
chief of the Israeli weather service,
a 1990 press release

Evidence of the harsh nature of the weather
in the Middle East in December can be found
in recent history.

(Time Magazine, Jan. 11, 1993, pp. 10-22).
“The news reports in Israel at the time were
filled with pictures of men huddling around
campfires and tents covered with snow.”
There would have been similar weather conditions
in Bethlehem in December – in the year of our
Savior’s birth. Clearly, Jesus was NOT born
in December.

“BETHLEHEM, West Bank, Dec. 24, 2004(AP)-
Several thousand pilgrims celebrated Christmas
Eve in the traditional birthplace of Jesus on Friday.
Many of Friday’s visitors were local Palestinians,
and in a cold, bitter rain, shopkeepers lamented
that business remained in the doldrums.”

-(noted commentator, Albert Barnes

“The climate of Palestine…the cold of the night,
from December to February, is very piercing,
and it was NOT the custom for the shepherds
of Judea to watch their flocks in the open fields
later than about the end of October.”
-(Alexander Hislop, The Two Babylons,

“Jesus was probably not born in the winter,
because shepherds were watching their flocks
by night”. Shepherds only watch their flocks
by night when it is comfortable outside.

“Bethlehem Christmas History; Bethlehem Past
by noted author, and pastor, Mitri Raheb.
author of “I am a Palestinian Christian”

“November through early March is “winter” in Israel!
The weather gets cold, especially at night.
Often it rains–or even snows! Yet many arrive
in Israel carrying luggage bulging with summer
attire, reasoning that it is always hot and arid
in the Middle East. So they hurriedly purchase
coats and sweaters in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem so
they can make their pilgrimage down to Bethlehem.”
-Jesus Birth; The Untold Story

“It’s very cold around Bethlehem
in the wintertime, especially at night,
and shepherds would NOT be out tending
to their flocks in December.”
-Enrique Nardoni,

JESUS WAS BORN DURING THE CENSUS

Other evidence – against a December birth
is the Roman census recorded by Luke.

“And it came to pass in those days that a decree
went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world
should be registered… So all went to be registered,
everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee,
out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of
David, which is called Bethlehem…, to be registered
with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.
So it was, that while they were there, the days were
completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth
her firstborn Son…” (Luke 2:1-7).

The Roman and Judean rulers knew that taking a census
in winter would have been impractical and unpopular.
Generally a census would take place after the harvest
season, around September or October, when the weather was
good and the roads were still dry enough to allow easy travel.

This census “could hardly have been at that season
[December 25], however, for such a time would surely NOT
have been chosen by the authorities for a public enrollment,
which necessitated the population’s traveling from all parts
to their natal districts, bitter cold, snow storms and rain –
making journeys both unsafe and unpleasant in winter…”
– (“Christmas at Bethlehem,” Holy-Days and Holidays;
Cunningham Geikie).

Did God Want us to celebrate Christ’s Birth ?
Evidently – NOT.
Why ? How do we Know that ?

If the date of Jesus’ Birth were important
then God would have had it recorded.

Many events int he bible are recorded as to
month and day and even the year of what King
was reighning. The fact that Jesus exact month
and day of birth are never mentioned in the Bible,
gives us clear indication that God did not want
us to celebrate Christ’s Birth.

“God has concealed the time of Jesus’ birth.
There is no way to ascertain it. Nor was it
of consequence to know the time; if it had been,
God would have preserved the record of it.
Matters of moment are clearly revealed.
Those which God regards as of no importance
-Albert Barnes

Christmas has NOT been authorized
by God or by Christ

“Christmas is a religious holiday
which has not been sanctioned by
the authority of Christ.”
-Christmas
By Darren E. Mays
and Michael B. Willey

Jesus said – “On judgment day…
I will reply, `I never knew you.
Go away; the things you did
were unauthorized.‘ “
(Matthew 7:22,23)(NLT)-BibleGateway

“….Christmas. We find no Scriptural
warrant whatever for observing any day
as the birthday of the Savior; and,
consequently, its observance is a superstition,
because it is NOT of divine authority.”
-(Charles Spurgeon,
Sermon on Dec. 24, 1871).

Did the Early Christians Celebrate Christ’s Birth ?
NO !

“The truth is that, early on, Christians did not
celebrate Christ’s birth; it was His death and
resurrection that were supremely important.”
– Was Christ Really Born on Christmas?
By Lorelei Nettles

“On your day of pagan gladness, we [Christians]
Neither cover our doorposts with wreaths…
You consider it a proper thing to decorate your
house like some new brothel…but we do not
celebrate along with you the holidays…”
-(Tertullian, (A.D. 155-220), 2001, p. 1176).
(quoted by David Bercot,
A Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs,
1998, p. 342).

“Christmas was NOT a feast of the early
Christian church. In fact the observance
of birthdays was condemned as a heathen custom
repugnant to all Christians,”
– The American Book of Days,

Was December 25th – A Holiday
when Christ walked the Earth ?

Yes, the pagan Saturnalia was in Full
Swing – when Christ was on Earth.

“Early Christians were familiar with
various pagan celebrations that occurred
in December (but they did not participate).”
-Christmas
By Darren E. Mays and Michael B. Willey

December 25th was observed as a Holiday
long before Christ was born. In fact,
while Christ was still on the earth, both
he and his early followers were witness to
the Joyous merry-making of the Roman Saturnalia,
that occured every December. It is certain
that Jesus and his Apostles were able to see,
the gift-giving, the feasting, ane the decorating
of fir trees, during the Pagan Holidays of Rome.
The houses were decorated with Holly, Mistletoe,
and evergreen wreaths, on the very day that
mankind now claims is in honor of Christ.
Yet this was the pagan Saturnalia of Rome during
the celebration of the sun-god “Sol”.

Historians of that period of time – said that
neither Christ, nor his followers would taint
themselves with these superstitious celebrations.

DECEMBER 25TH – A COMPROMISE WITH HEATHENS

“The important fact then which I have asked you to get
clearly into your head is that the fixing of the date
as December 25th was a compromise with paganism.”
– The Evolution of Christmas; Published in 1909

“December 25th was the day the Romans
celebrated the birth of their (pagan) sun-god.”
-The Encyclopedia Americana,
vol. 6, pg. 623.

“to facilitate the acceptance of the faith by the pagan
masses, the Church of Rome found it convenient
to institute the 25th of December as the feast
of the birth of Christ…from the pagan feast,
celebrated on the same day in honor of the pagan god,
Mithras…”
-(Manual of Liturgical History, 1955, Vol. 2, p. 67).

“In the Scriptures, no one is recorded to have kept a feast
or held a great banquet on his birthday. It is only sinners
who make great rejoicings over the day in which they were
born into this world”
– (Catholic Encyclopedia, 1908 edition,
Vol. 3, p. 724, “Natal Day”).

“…the day of one’s death is better
than the day of one’s birth.

Celebrating Christmas is Breaking the 1st Commandment!

Celebrating Christmas is
Breaking the 1st Commandment

By adopting Christmas from the various pagan
gods of the world – we are breaking the very
First of the ten commandments. Numerous sun gods
were supposedly born on December 25th.

Sadly, even in professing Christianity,
many pagan customs persist. For example,
the celebrations of Easter and Christmas
are really pagan holidays! The name “Easter”
comes from the Babylonian fertility goddess
Ishtar. And Christmas was taken from
the pagan Roman celebrations of Saturnalia
and Brumalia (December 25), which honored
the rebirth of the sun god.

Many think that it’s okay to follow these
practices if they are done to worship God.
But the true God will not accept such pagan
worship even if it is intended to honor Him
(cf. Deut. 12:29-32).

Christ said that when we follow tradition
in our worship instead of God’s commandments,
then our worship is IN VAIN (Mark 7:7-9).
God, himself, declared in the First Commandment
that we should have “no other gods” before Him.

The Ten Commandments are listed
in a particular order. The first commandment
is of major importance and is placed first.
It would be difficult to obey the other nine
commandments while breaking the first.

The Ten Commandments are found in Exodus 20
and Deuteronomy 5. The first four of these
commandments tell us how to love and honor God.
The last six teach us how to love and respect
our fellow man.

The very first commandment is from God himself,
where he tells us – “Thou shalt have no other gods
before me” (Ex. 20:2-3).

The pagan holiday of sun god worship was already
active in the days of Christ. The general pagan
populace was celebrating the birth of the sun gods
on December 25th. They were using Fir trees, ornaments,
gift giving, the lighting of candles, holly and evergreen
decorations on their homes, and singing carols.
Yet, Jesus condemned their traditions and said
the following, “Thus you have made the commandment
of God – of none effect- because of your tradition.”
(Matt. 15:4-6).

As in the days of Christ, the majority of mankind
follows the traditions of men in their worship of God!

False gods can be placed ahead of Almighty God
in any number of ways. The celebrating of any
holiday that originally came from pagan god worship,
is an example of this.

“And God spake all these words, saying,
I am Jehovah thy God……Thou shalt have
no other gods before me.”
(Exodus 20:1-3)(ASV)-BibleGateway

“I am Jehovah your God….You must not
have any other gods against my face.”
(Exodus 20:2,3)(NWT)

There are three versions of the Ten Commandments
in the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament). They are
at Exodus 20:2-17, Exodus 34:12-26, and Deuteronomy
(Deut)5:6-21.

The Exodus 20 version: is the most commonly used
set of Commandments.

“In the first place, the Ten Commandments
and they alone of all the laws which God gave
unto Israel, were promulgated by the voice of God,
amid the most solemn manifestations and tokens of
the Divine presence. Second, the Ten Commandments
and they alone of all Jehovah’s statutes to Israel,
were written directly by the finger of God,
written upon tables of stone, and written thus
to denote their lasting and imperishable nature.”
-THE LIFE OF FAITH; Chapter 6
The Ten Commandments
by Arthur W Pink

“The “law of God” expresses the mind of
the Creator, and is binding upon all rational
creatures. It is God’s unchanging moral standard
for regulating the conduct of all men. Obedience
to the law of God is man’s first duty.”

The Ten Commandments
by Arthur W Pink

“The Ten Commandments represent God’s own
summary of our duties toward Him. How valuable
to have God lay out His instructions in a space
of only 17 verses. But how difficult it proves
to obey them, when our hearts have gone astray!”

The Very Heart of the Matter
by Vern Sheridan Poythress

By adopting Christmas from the various pagan
gods of the world – we are breaking the very
First of the ten commandments.

How So ?

When God said: “You shall have no other gods
before Me” (Exodus 20:3), He condemns forms of
worship that celebrated the supposed birth of
the sun gods or false gods. When God states:
“You shall not make for yourself an idol…
You shall not bow down to them or worship them…”
(Exodus 20:4, New International Version), He also
condemns inventing religious feasts and celebrations
to replace those that God ordained.

“They moved him to jealousy with strange gods;
With abominations provoked they him to anger.
They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God;
They have provoked me to anger with their vanities.”

DECEMBER 25th – The Birth of a “sun-god”

Leave a reply

DECEMBER 25th
The Birth of a “sun-god”

The First man to declare himself a god, was Nimrod.
His mother, Semiramis, declared herself to be “The
Mother of god”. Together with their son, Tammuz,
they replaced the worship of Jehovah God, with a
Triune – “trinity” mystery god. Since Tammuz married
his own mother – he was both – “God – the Father” and
“God – the son”.

When the peoples language was confused in Babel,
they took with them the religion of Nimrod and spread
it all over the earth.

Every pagan god, and every pagan goddess has received
some aspect of Nimrod, and Semiramis worship and devotion.
All the pagan sun-gods of the world claim to have been
born on Decmeber 25th. How appropriate that they even
copied the birthdate of the First man to oppose Jehovah
God.

Paganism is filled with sumbolism. If you do a careful
search on Sun Worship – you will learn what these synbols
and teachings are.

When you honor and adore the “Baby Jesus” on December 25th,
you have been duped into giving the pagan sun-gods of the
world – honor, attention, and worship – without even
knowing it. This has been going on for years. But now
that we live in an age where data is everywhere at our
fingertips – these Deceptions are being unearthed and
exposed for what they truly are – a trick of the Devil,
to take worship away from Jehovah God and direct it at
his own seed.

The “Halo” or “Nimbus” in “sun-god” worship

“the symbolism of the nimbus or halo was early in use
among the pagans who determined its form. In the monuments
of Hellenic and Roman art, the heads of the gods,
heroes, and other distinguished persons are often found
with a disc-shaped halo, a circle of light, or a rayed-
fillet. They are, therefore, associated especially with
gods and creatures such as the Phoenix. The disc of light
is likewise used in the Pompeian wall paintings to typify gods
and demigods only. The custom of the Egyptian and
Syrian kings of having themselves represented with a rayed
crown to indicate the status of demigods, spread
throughout the East and the West. In Rome the halo was
first used only for deceased emperors as a sign of
celestial bliss, but afterwards living rulers also were
given the rayed crown.”

“In Hellenistic and Roman art the sun-god Helios

“Since the most ancient times,
the sun has been a favorite “god” or god symbol
of pagan people all around the world.
The Babylonians, Persians, Egyptians, Greeks
and Romans all had their sun gods.
The native peoples of North and South America
widely practiced sun worship, as did their Asian
ancestors. Sun worship was also widely practiced
by the people of the Middle East. The Europeans too
were deeply involved in sun worship, and many of
their sun-god festivals were carried over when
they professed conversion to Christianity.
These can still be seen today in the Easter SUNday
Services, the Easter bonfire and sunrise services,
and the Christmas burning of the Yule log.”

“The use of the halo, or nimbus, originated with the
pagan Greeks and Romans to represent their sun gods.

–Sun Worship
by Wayne Blank

“The real secret of Constantine and the bishops of Rome
is their cunning introduction of sun worship and paganism
into Christianity. It was done so shrewdly that,
incredibly, it has been veiled within the faith for
centuries. Through Constantine, paganism and Christianity
joined hands in the Roman Empire. Sun worship, which
appears in nearly every pagan religion in the world,
soon appeared in Christian art, imagery, and theology.
The halo often seen on Christ and Mary is actually a
symbol of sun worship.”

Pagan sun-gods are born on December 25th
A Compromise and Deception of Christendom

“December 25….a festival was celebrated among the
heathen, at that precise time of the year, in honour of
the birth of the son of the Babylonian queen of heaven
…the sun-god Nimrod…the same festival was adopted
by the Roman Church, giving it the name of Christ.”
–The Two Babylons
Alexander Hislop

“December 25th – Instead of this day being the time
of our Saviour’s birth, it was the very day and season
on which the pagans for centuries had celebrated the
birth of the Sun-god. A study into this shows how far
apostate church leaders went in their effort to merge
Christianity and paganism into one apostate religion –
even to placing the birth of Christ on a date to harmonize
with the pagan birthday celebration of the sun-god.
It was in the FIFTH Century that the Roman Catholic
Church commanded that the birth of Christ be observed
forever on December 25 – the day of the old Roman feast
of the birth of Sol (one of the names of the sun-god).
— [Encyclopedia Americana, Vol. 6, p.623]

“The winter solstice (Dec 25) was the time
at which all the sun-gods from Osiris to Jupiter
and Mithra had celebrated their (birthdays),
the celebration being adorned with the pine tree of
Adonis, the Holy of Saturn, and the Mistletoe tappers
represented the kindling of the newborn sun-god’s
fire…”
–[Man and His Gods, p.2013].

Jesus Was Born in a “WARM“ Month

“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby,
keeping watch over their flocks at night.”
(Luke 2:8)(NIV)-BibleGateway

The Biblical account says that the Shepherds and their
sheep were still sleeping outdoors at the time of
Christ’s birth. Winter-time would have been too Cold.

Jesus’ public ministry lasted for three and a half years
(Dan. 9:27). It came to an end at the time of Passover
(John 18:39). which was in the spring. Therefore, he
began his ministry in the fall. Jesus began his ministry
at about the age of 30 (Luke 3:23). This was the
recognized age for a priest before he could become an
official minister under the Old Testament (Num. 4:3).
Therefore his birth must have been in the fall.

“In Palestine, winter winds are very penetrating
from the middle of December to the middle of February.
Snow and hail, during most winters, fall on the hills.
The Hebrew month Tebeth (December and January) is the
coldest month; rain, hail and snow on higher hills,
and occasionally at Jerusalem.”
–(Ungers Bible Dictionary, p. 1170)

“Shepherds and their flocks would not be found
“abiding” (Gr. agrauleo) in the open fields at night
in December (Tebeth), for the paramount reason
that there would be no pasturage at that time.
It was the custom then (as now) to withdraw the flocks
during the month Marchesven Oct.-Nov.) from the open districts
and house them for the winter.”
– The Companion Bible, Appendix 179

“NIMBUS – The sun in the heavens is a cosmic example,
for the floods of sunlight which it pours forth are the
vital aura, NIMBUS, or glory surrounding the solar heart.
The adoption of the nimbus surrounding the heads or
entire bodies of the Christian saints was a clear case
of borrowing from the Orient, because from time immemorial
the nimbus has been used there to signify spiritual
ecstasy, as exemplified in large numbers of Buddhist
images.”

“NIMROD” – The LORD of Christmas

“Nimrod started the great organized worldly apostasy
from God that has dominated this world until now.
Nimrod married his own mother, whose name was Semiramis.
After Nimrod’s death, his so-called mother-wife,
Semiramis, propagated the evil doctrine of the survival
of Nimrod as a spirit being. She claimed a full-grown
evergreen tree sprang overnight from a dead tree stump,
which symbolized the springing forth unto new life
of the dead Nimrod. On each anniversary of his birth,
she claimed, Nimrod would visit the evergreen tree

“Traditionally, a yule log was burned in the fireplace
on Christmas Eve and during the night as the log’s embers
died, there appeared in the room, as if by magic, a
Christmas tree surrounded by gifts. The yule log

represented himself resurrected as his own son Tammuz.”

“So our Christmas tree — and our yule log — have
tremendous meaning, but not a Christian meaning.
The yule log is the dead Nimrod, human ruler of
ancient Babylon, who was eventually deified as the

is mystical Tammuz, the slain god come to life again.”

The Real Origin of Christmas

“The real origin of Christmas goes back to ancient
Babylon. It is bound up in the organized apostasy
with which Satan has gripped a deceived world these
many centuries! In Egypt, it was always believed that
the son of Iris (Egyptian name for “Queen of Heaven”)
was born December 25th. Semiramis also bore the title
“Queen of Heaven” – and she was Nimrod’s mother.
Paganism celebrated this famous birthday over most
of the known world for centuries before the birth
of Christ.”

of a great false religious system that began in
ancient Babylon that has always opposed the truths
of God. It’s time we face facts! This world is deceived,

“As the people increased in number,
the Way of Jehovah was corrupted

“Nimrod, who built Babel or Babylon, conceived a

that rejected the Lord God Jehovah.”

“Not only has the original Babylonian religious system
served as the source of all the world’s non-Christian
religions, hut it has also infiltrated and corrupted
Christendom to an alarming degree.”
–Babylon – Source of False Religion
“Babylon, Mystery Religion” by Ralph Woodrow

“Nimrod was a great grandson of Noah.
Nimrod became a “mighty tyrant in the face of Jehovah.”
Much of the Babylonian worship was carried on through
mysterious symbols – thus the “Mystery” religion.
This system of idolatry spread from Babylon to the
nations, for it was from this location that men were
scattered over the face of the earth (Gen. 11:9).
As they went from Babylon, they took their occult
worship and its various mystery symbols with them.”
–Babylon – Source of False Religion

Nimrod and – His Mother – Semiramis
were the — “MODELS” —
after which Satan Fashioned

of Rome, Greece, India, Egypt, and other nations
can be identified with corresponding gods from Babel.”

Christendom is Tied to False gods

Christendom will not admit, that by compromising with the pagans of
the world when adopting December 25th as Christ’s birthday – they have
tied themselves into honoring all the pagan gods of the world.

How so ?

Almost all the pagan gods – who are nothing more than “Nimrod” reincarnated,
all claim December 25th as their birthday. The list is exhaustive.

Many False Gods – Whose Birthday was “December 25”
Fashioned After “NIMROD”

“December 25th – not only was Mithra, the sun-god of
Mithraism, said to be born at this time of the year,
but Osiris, Horus, Hercules, Bacchus, Adonis, Jupiter,
Tammuz, and other sun-gods were also supposedly born
at what is today called the “Christmas” season, the winter solstice!
– Doane, p.474;
– “The Two Babylons; Alexander Hislop, p.93.

“The “winter solstice (December) was the time at which all the
sun-gods “from Osiris to Jupiter” and Mithra had celebrated
their (birthdays) – the celebration being adorned with
the pine tree of Adonis, the holly of Saturn, and the
mistletoe (of the pagan Druids)…..tapers(candles) represented
the kindling of the newborn sun-god’s fire…”
-Man and His Gods, p.201.

“Subtly…the old gods had entered their churches…
And they live still in the festivals of Christianity.”
-(Testament: The Bible and History,
Romer, 1988, pp. 230-31)

In Sharp Contrast to Jesus

And here we have Jesus Christ who was born in a warm month when the
flocks were still outdoors at night – as ample proof that a compromise has been
made. December 25th was celebrated by the pagans in Christ’s day, but
he and his early followers would have NO PART of it.

“It is evident that Jesus was NOT born during the middle of winter,
for at the time of his birth, the shepherds were living out in the fields
with their flocks. As the bible says: ‘There were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night”
(Luke 2:8). As is well known, the shepherds in Palestine do NOT
“abide in the fields” during the winter season because of the extreme,
cold temperatures. The shepherds always bring their flocks in
from the mountain slopes and fields no later than October 15th! “
– Mede’s Works, 1679. Discourse xlvii

Christ’s First Followers –
REFUSED to Celebrate December 25th

“On your day of gladness, we [Christians] neither cover
our doorposts with wreaths, nor intrude upon the day with lamps.
At the call of public festivity, you consider it a proper thing
to decorate your house like some new brothel.
We are accused of a lower sacrilege because
we do not celebrate along with you the holidays …”
– (Tertullian, (A.D. 155-220), 2001, p. 1176).
(quoted by David Bercot, A Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs,
1998, p. 342).

laurels…In the Saturnalia…Presents come and go…There are…gifts…

the festivals of the pagans.”

It was already bottled and labelled before the first
dispersion (Confusion of Tongues at the Tower of Babel).
It went with that dispersion into every country and nation
under heaven. As a matter of fact, we find it to this day
among all the nations of the earth, affecting and controlling
their thinking, their policies, their faith, and their worship.

Who Are We Honoring on December 25th?

Leave a reply

Who Are You Honoring
on December 25th ?

The “LORD” that you give honor to each year on
December 25th – is NOT the one that you think you
are honoring. Jesus was born in a warm month,
when the shepherds were still sleeping out in the
fields with their flock in the night. Jesus was not
born in the cold rainy month of December.

His birth date was obscured because God
commands us to observe Jesus death and NOT
his birth.

Then whose Birth is the world honoring
on December 25 ?

None other than the First Human
to Oppose Jehovah God.

And Who was that ?

NIMROD –

“Nimrod’s rebellion was to head a great confederacy
in open revolt against God. This confederacy is described
in Genesis eleven and that it was an organized revolt
against Jehovah God is very clear. From this point
onward – Babylon in Scripture always stands for that
which is in opposition to God “

A Festival was celebrated among the heathen.

festival was adopted by the Roman Church,
giving it the name of Christ.”

Nimrod was born on December 25th. When he died,
he was represented by a “Yule” Log. The Dead remains
of this once Grand tree-god, was thrown into the
“Fireplace”. Each year, on the date of his birth,
a “New” evergreen tree suddenly appeared with presents
and trinkets upon it. Even the ancient woodcut above,
reveals the symbols of “Ancient Babylon” and its founder,
Nimrod.

“Nimrod started the great organized worldly apostasy
from God that has dominated this world until now.
Nimrod married his own mother, whose name was Semiramis.

The Nimrod Deception

The Nimrod Deception is Satan’s Deception

The Nimrod deception has been spread to and retained in
all parts of the world – over all centuries – even today.
The Norse gods, the Egyptian gods, the Roman gods, etc., etc.,
have all retained different aspects of Nimrod, his mother, and their
rebellion against Jehovah God.

“So in Christmas, we have Satan counterfeiting
the real truth of God. The yule log and Christmas tree. .
All may be traced to ancient Babylon and the Mysteries
of Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz — Satan’s incredibly
clever counterfeit…”
–After Armageddon -Chapter 4
Where do we get our ideas?
by John A. Sarkett

“As these practices came down from Babylon to Egypt,
Greece and Rome, they took on different names. But the
practices remained the same. December 25th was claimed
to be the birthday of the chief gods from Babylon to Rome,
regardless of their different names. The original
Babylonian festival started when Semiramis, the wife
of Nimrod, claimed that overnight, an evergreen tree
sprang up from a dead tree stump beside his grave.
The dead stump supposedly symbolized her dead husband
Nimrod. The new evergreen tree was Nimrod come to life
again in the person of the god Tammuz. The stump or
Yule log, represented the dead stock of Nimrod and the
Christmas tree was Nimrod revived deified as the Sun
god or the ‘son of the Sun.'”

“The Babylonian pagan worship of Nimrod,
Semiramis, and the god-incarnate son
extended throughout the entire world
and eventually assumed the name of

Nimrod pleased Satan by opposing Jehovah
God, and he was well rewarded by Satan.

How was Nimrod rewarded by Satan ?

Thousands of Years of Worldwide Worship

Nimrod and his mother have been worshipped from the
time of their rebellion against God, right down to
this very day. Not only that, but they have been
worshipped and honored in every single country on
the face of the earth.

All the trimmings and trappings of Christmas have
come down to us, through the trickery of Satan, and
in a deception only known to those who study history
and research the scriptures as well.

Nimrod in Disguise

Nimrod has been honored in many different disguises.
The trinity worship of He and his son, and of his
Madonna mother (Queen of Heaven) have been found in
all religious cultures around the world – both pagan
and Christendom. From Babylon to Egypt and then to
Rome, onto Roman Catholicism and then onto her daughters-
present day Protestantism.

This article is only focusing on the Christmas aspect
of Satan’s deception. Links at the bottom will take

Nimrod and his Deified family.

Baby and Madonna

The “Holy” Mother and Child ?

“December 25 is when the birth of the son of the
Babylonian queen of heaven was celebrated 2,000 years
before Jesus was born. The name of the day itself —
“Yule” — is the Chaldean (Babylon) name for “infant”
or “little child,” the pagan counterpart… In ancient
Babylon (Nimrod)…the “divine” child. There is obviously
no connection with the birth of Christ.”

a historical personage by the name of
Semiramis, queen of Babylon, wife of Nimrod,
only a few centuries after the Flood, about
the year 2000 B.C. Babylon was to become
the foremost state of that day, and prevail
until approximately 539 B.C.

But the real God Jehovah was unknown
in that land. Instead, the Satan-inspired

features of which included: worshipping
of the mother- and divine child. (Nimrod

Christendom Joins
“Babylon The Great”

How ?

“Nimrod was Noah’s great-grandson.
This system at Babel became the source of all
false religion in the world. Apostate Christendom
has a direct line of succession back through Roman
and Greek paganism right to Babel, because Roman and
Greek paganism, it is plain to see, came out of Babel.
Their gods are just renamed gods from older cultures
which take you back to Babel. Of course, we know from
history that the Roman Catholic Church came in as a
mixture of paganism and Christianity through
Constantine’s desire to unite his empire with one
unified religious system.”

Chapter 17 of Revelation
by Jack Shelton

“The Garden of Eden was in Southern Iraq,
not far from where Nimrod, under Satan’s motivation,
built Babel, which was the beginning of Babylon.
The Babylonian spirit is invading the world.
Its influence is breathtaking…and spreading its
idea to the entire world. There is no other proper
description of Babel and the evil intent of this
first expression of false religion.”
–Babylon: The Axis of Evil
by Joseph Chambers

“Mankind in general, has followed variations
of one kind or another, of the religion of
Babylon, to this day.”
-Ralph Woodrow;
Babylon Mystery Religion; 1966

“Rome…assimilated religions from her many
conquered territories. All these religions had
commonalities, for they all came from Babylon.
These practices infiltrated and overcame the
professing Christian Church, which later came to be
dominated by Rome itself.”
-Ralph Woodrow;
Babylon Mystery Religion; 1966

“This is the cup which the Babylonish system
has made all the world to drink. It is not limited
to the Roman Catholic Church of Rome, but she certainly
plays a major role in today’s religious deception.”

CHRISTMAS AND “BABYLON THE GREAT”

CHRISTMAS
AND “BABYLON THE GREAT”

What is the Connection ?

The Bible identifies False Religion as a woman
called “Babylon The Great”. Her religious doctrines,
teachings, beliefs and Holidays are based upon
the Center from which all False Religion began,
“Ancient Babylon”. It was under the influence of
NIMROD – who declared himself to be god – that
all these false teachings began. For he was a
mighty hunter in opposition to Jehovah God, our
Creator.

“…Nim´rod….He displayed himself
a mighty hunter in opposition to Jehovah….”
(Genesis 10:8,9)(NWT)

“…Nimrod….He was a mighty hunter
before Jehovah…”
(Genesis 10:8,9)(ASV)-BibleGateway

“Now it was Nimrod who excited them
to such an affront and contempt of God.”
-Josephus (c. 37 – c. 100 AD/CE),

“His name is Nimrod, It means ‘the rebel,’
and is evidently meant to designate the nature
of the man. He was the first specimen of giant
tyranny after the flood. His Defiance of Jehovah
was perpetrated in wickedness and ambition under
the very eye of Jehovah. Nimrod’s assumptions were
religious as well as political. Nimrod presented
himself not only for obedience but also for worship.
His awful greatness was of ambitious rebellion,
apostasy and defiance of Jehovah. And as it was Babel
that was the beginning of his empire, so is ‘Babylon the great’
its consummation and close.”
-Nimrod
by Horatius Bonar
1808-1889

Amont those false teachings that are part of
“Babylon The Great” – are the “trinity” doctrine,
Hellfire torment, Easter, and Christmas.

This article is focusing upon the Christmas Holiday
and it’s Nimrod-connection. Indeed, even scholars
recognize that Christmas came from Ancient Babylon,
and has no connection with the Birth of Christ who
was born during a much warmer season.

Scholars Identify “Babylon The Great”
with CHRISTMAS

“Christmas as a pagan holiday traces back
thousands of years before to a man named Nimrod,
founder of ancient pagan Babylon.”

“Egyptian and Babylonian antiquities
identify Nimrod’s mother as Semiramis,
and his birthday was celebrated on 25th December.”
-The True Meaning of Christmas

“Thus began the worship of Semiramis
and the child-god, and the whole paraphanalia
of the Babylonian religious system.”
-The True Meaning of Christmas
by Mike Gascoigne; 1996

“The Roman Pagans used to celebrate the birthday
of their child-god on 25th December, and the Roman
Catholic Church sought to win over as many people
as possible to nominal Catholicism by proclaiming
the same day to be the birthday of Jesus. So the
Pagans had no difficulty worshipping the Catholic
Madonna and child. They were seen as yet another
manifestation of the Babylonian Queen of Heaven
(Semiramis)and her son (Nimrod). The Pagans made
no compromises, they didn’t need to, they just
continued their Pagan worship within the church.”
-The True Meaning of Christmas
by Mike Gascoigne; 1996

“While it’s easy to knock the Catholic Church
because of their Maryolatry, the Protestants cannot
be left off the hook. The Protestant Reformation
dispensed with only a part of the Babylonian system
of worship. The celebration of Christmas, inherited
from the Roman Catholic Church, via Pagan Rome,
via Egypt, via Babylon, is still practiced as the
most important event in the Protestant Christian
calendar, so from that point of view the Protestants
are as much into Paganism as the Catholics.”
-The True Meaning of Christmas
by Mike Gascoigne; 1996

“The Christmas tree is specifically a Babylonian symbol.
On Christmas Eve the Yule Log is thrown onto the fire.
On Christmas Day there is the tree, covered in
decorations and surrounded with presents,
representing the resurrected Nimrod of Babylon.”

by Mike Gascoigne; 1996

“FOR MANY years Christmas and other major holidays,
such as Easter, Halloween, etc., have been portrayed
as having a Christian origin, yet they all have their
common origins in Ancient Babylon.”

Who Was Really Born On December 25?
The Gilead Institute of America

“Today, the celebrated holiday known as Christmas,
will actually find its roots in ancient Babylon.
Christmas is a pagan holiday, which was first formed
by Semiramis, the mother-wife of Nimrod. This became
a holiday after Semiramis indoctrinated it into the
Babylonish government upon the death of Nimrod.”

“December 25th was celebrated as Baal or
Nimrod’s birthday. By tradition, this birthday
celebration became an integral part of every human
culture, based on this pagan idolatry.
Generally, all mankind is fast asleep,
dreaming this old Babylonian dream.
Christmas was an attempt by Catholicism
to revise and adopt this paganism.”
-The Story Of Nimrod,
As It Relates To Christmas And Easter
by Wilhelm J Wolfaardt

“Scripture itself demands that we observe
the Messiah’s death, and not His birth.
But, since the pagan mind was so oriented
around fertility and birth, it developed
the way we see it today, blending the most
important features of pagan interpretation.
“Babel, the Great Mother of Harlots and of
the Abominations of the Earth” — has intoxicated
the masses.”
-The Story Of Nimrod,
As It Relates To Christmas And Easter
by Wilhelm J Wolfaardt

“Christmas as a pagan holiday traces back
thousands of years to a man named Nimrod,
founder of ancient pagan Babylon. Nimrod began
a counterfeit religion in the Book of Genesis.
The Bible refers to it as the religion of
Mystery Babylon — the mother of false religion
that will be destroyed when the Savior Jesus
comes to set up His throne on earth, Revelation 18.
Babylon’s false worship is found today in some
aspect in nearly all religions, including
christendom.”
– Nimrod: The Grandfather of Paganism

“Jesus Christ was NOT born on December 25.
But December 25th can be traced back to Genesis
and a man named Nimrod. Nimrod was the founder
of a great false religious system that began in
ancient Babylon that has always opposed the truths
of God. It’s time we face facts! This world is
deceived, just as God prophesied it would be
(Rev. 12:9). Satan is the power behind this deception.
Satan has successfully pawned off the old customs
of the Babylonian mystery religion as being pleasing
to Jesus Christ.”

will one day pass judgment upon a “great whore”

“Can there be any doubt what Jesus Christ thinks
of this church? Every inhabitant of Earth has been
made to suffer to one degree or another by the
deceptions created by its “abominations.”
Revelation 18:4 carries this plea: “And I heard
another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her,
my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
Right now, God is sending out that same warning message
to all who will listen: Come out of all these pagan
practices disguised as Christianity. Don’t partake any
longer of those sins. The celebration of Christmas and
its customs is just one of those sins. It seems harmless,
but those who stay in such deception will eventually
have to face the wrath of Jesus Christ.”

and few there be that find it.“ Popular opinion
should not prevent individuals who know the truth
from turning away from a festival season steeped

-Is Christmas Christian?
Volume 6, Issue 6
By John H. Ogwyn

“Almost every year, newspapers and magazines
will publish articles pointing out that Christmas
customs originate not from the Bible, but from pagan
antiquity. Most readers, when faced with these facts,
simply say: “I don’t see what difference it makes,”
and continue with their Christmas preparations.
Instead of seeking to put Christ back into Christmas,
we must acknowledge that He was never there
in the first place! Christmas never was Christian!
True Christians will give it back to the pagans.
We ought to take our religious customs and practices
directly from the Bible. Then we will be worshiping
our Creator in spirit and truth, just as He teaches
us to do (John 4:24).”

In Conclusion –

What else can be said about Christmas and
“Babylon the Great” that has not already been
covered by the above secular quotes ?

Many say, “but I do it for my children.”

Others may say, “but I do it for my parents.”

But Listen to what Jesus Says –

Jesus said, “…anyone who loves his son
or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.”
(Matthew 10:37b)(NIV)-BibleGateway

“Anyone who loves his father or mother
more than me is not worthy of me….”
(Matthew 10:37a)(NIV)-BibleGateway

Jesus said – “Stand up for me
against world opinion and I’ll stand up
for you before my Father in heaven.”
(Matthew 10:32)(MSG)-BibleGateway

Jesus said – “He who loves and takes more pleasure
in father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me;
and he who loves and takes more pleasure in son
or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.”

“Christmas” Represents the Opposite
of all that Christ Taught

Christmas is not at all like Christ.
In fact Christmas stands for everything
that Jesus was against. Jesus emphasized living
a “simple” life. He made statements showing his
viewpoint about storing up material things.

Jesus was not a collector of treasures. He neither
gave nor received gifts. He told people to get rid
of their posessions – and instead to Follow him.

Jesus emphasis was not on trinkets and worldly
goods, but rather on sharing the good news of his
coming Kingdom that would rid the earth of all
problems. Jesus was spiritually minded – NOT
Materially minded – and he stressed the importance
of his followers being just like him.

Jesus said, “Stop making the house of my Father
into a house of merchandise! ”

“It’s a commonplace to observe that depressed people
are more depressed around Christmas. It is not a
naturally cheerful part of the year, as some claim

you will live forever.”

Even a child can see the similarities between
Santa Claus and the pagan German god – “Thor”.

THE PAGAN GOD – “THOR”
IS IDENTIFIED AS – ‘SANTA CLAUS’

“It should be noted though, that the figure of
Santa Claus is really a non-Christian one
and is based on the Germanic god Thor
who rode on a chariot drawn by goats named
Cracker and Gnasher.”
– St. Nicholas’ Day; By Shonnie Scarola

“Thor was the god of the peasants
and the common people. He was represented
as an elderly man, jovial and friendly,
of heavy build, with a long white beard.
His element was the fire, his color red.
The rumble and roar of thunder were said
to be caused by the rolling of his chariot,
for he alone among the gods never rode on
horseback but drove in a chariot drawn by
two white goats called Cracker and Gnasher.
He was said to live in the ‘Northland’
where he had his palace among icebergs.
The fireplace in every home was especially
sacred to him, and he was said to come down
through the chimney into his element, the fire.”
– -Francis X. Weiser,
Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs
(New York: Harcourt, Brace and World, Inc., 1958)

“Thor was fighting the giants of ice and snow,
and thus became the Yule-god. He was said to live
in the “Northland” where he had his palace among
icebergs. By our pagan forefathers he was considered
as the cheerful and friendly god, never harming
the humans but rather helping and protecting them.
The fireplace in every home was especially sacred
to him, and he was said to come down through the
chimney into his element, the fire.”
-(Guerber, H.A. Myths of Northern Lands.
New York: American Book Company, 1895, p. 61)

The unusual and common characteristics
of Santa and Thor – are too close to ignore.

An elderly man, jovial and friendly and of heavy build.
With a long white beard.
His element was the fire and his color red.
Drove a chariot drawn by two white goats, named
Cracker and Gnasher.
He was the Yule-god. (Yule is Christmas time).
He lived in the Northland (North Pole).
He was considered the cheerful and friendly god.
“Ho – Ho – Ho”
He was benevolent to humans.
The fireplace was especially sacred to him.
He came down through the chimney into his element, the fire.

Just Like the pagan god, Thor
Santa comes down thru the chimney
into his element – “the fire”….

“Swedish children wait eagerly for
a gnome whose sleigh is drawn by
the goats of the thunder god Thor.

sack on his back, he looks much like the
American Santa Claus.”
-(Barth, Edna.
Holly, Reindeer, and Colored Lights,
The Story of the Christmas Symbols.
New York: Clarion Books, 1971, p. 49)

Thor was probably history’s most celebrated
and worshipped pagan god. His widespread
influence is particularly obvious in the
fifth day of the week, which is named after him
– Thursday (a.k.a. Thor’s Day).

“Behind the name Santa Claus actually stands
the figure of the pagan Germanic god Thor.
Here, then, is the true origin of our “Santa Claus.”
-(Weiser, Francis X.
Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs.
New York: Harcourt, Brace & World, Inc.,

“It was Thor who in the last days of heathenism
was regarded as the chief antagonist of Christ.”
– (Davidson, H.R. Ellis. Scandinavian Mythology.
New York: Peter Bedrick Books, 1982, p. 133)

In case you are not aware, an “antagonist”
is an enemy, adversary or replacement.

The bizarre and mutual attributes of Thor and
Santa are no accident.

Santa’s Trademark is
“Ho – Ho – Ho” !!!
Santa’s trademark “Ho! Ho! Ho!”.
Most people have no idea where this came from,
and more important whom it came from. . .

“Many of our most-loved “Christmas Holiday”
traditions, symbols and practices are of Druid
and Pagan origin. Holly, ivy, mistletoe,
the Yule log, gift giving, and decorated
evergreen trees, even Father Christmas has
mystical Celtic roots. His “elves” are the
modernization of the ‘Nature folk’ (demon-gods)
of the old religion, and his magical reindeer
are associated with the ‘Horned God’, a Pagan
deity.”

“There is also evidence that the stag
was a cult animal of Anglo-Saxon kingships.
In the Sutton Hoo ship burial commemorating
the death of an East Anglian king, an iron
standard was found, topped by a bronze stag
with widespread antlers. The names of Celtic
deities have also survived on inscribed stone
altars that became popular during Roman times,
and they include an inscription to Cernunnos,
the horned god, as well as various depictions
of horned deities.”

“During the sixth century Pope Gregory
sent Saint Augustine to England to establish
a church on the continental model. To facilitate
the conversion, an attempt was made to reconcile
the incoming doctrine with customs already in
existence. Any pagan symbolism that did not
positively clash with Christian doctrine
was incorporated into the new faith.”

“Pope Gregory advised that Christian holy days
should be near in date to the replaced pagan
festivals. This mingling of Christianity and
paganism is the reason why Easter is named
after Eostra, an Anglo-Saxon fertility goddess
of the dawn, and why Christ’s birthday is
celebrated on December 25—the date of the
old midwinter festival commemorating the
rebirth of the sun-gods.”

-Exploring the Sabbats
by Elizabeth Barrette

“Gifts are given by the departing Holly King
as he rides his solar sleigh, pulled by the
eight Sabbats personified as reindeer,
through the sky at Yule Eve. He was called
Old Nick by the Pagan Norse, was usurped by
Christianity and is recognized today as
Santa Claus – while “Old Nick” became a name
for the Christian deity of evil.”
-Wiccan Holy Days; Yule
Religion and Magick

“The use of reindeers: are leftover symbols
of the horned god, presented in a palatable
form. St. Nick is one of the few magical beings
of a non-angelic species accepted by Christians
and promoted to their children. Santa is a micro
version of Jehovah, complete with the white beard,
who doles out rewards to the faithful – toys
instead of paradise – and punishment to the wicked
– a coal in your stocking rather than a lake
of fire.”
-Yule Joy

“Today, almost the only Christian sect to oppose
celebrating Christmas is the Jehovah’s Witnesses,
who rightly recognize that the traditions carried

so is the Christmas tree, with its garland, lights,
and ornaments; it has its roots in the Druid worship
of the Trees.”

The “Holly god” of Christmas

The “Holly god” of Christmas

The Holly god of Christmas
will ride his sled tonight
The Fat Old Elf called Santa
Will Hold the reins so tight

His gallant mystic reindeer
that number sabbats eight
will pull his chariot across the sky
while excited children wait

The chimney is his entrance
into the house we’re told
where Fire is his element
and the sacred hearth beholds

The altar of the pagan
the solstice of dark days
where merriment and presents
are exchanged in votive ways

The many gods of nature
whose birth they commemorate
on the 25th of December
with Festive Food and plate

The Shaman of the winter
is praised around the world
For giving out his presents
to happy boys and girls

The Norse upon the northland
have leprechauns called elves
who hammer out their handy craft
and set them on the shelves

And when the earth is spinning
and the trees are brought inside
to decorate and adorn them
and looked upon with pride

The setting is symbolic
of the gods of ancient lore
and how they were once worshipped
as they had been years before

It’s the holiday of Nimrod
who was the First born King
to deck the halls of Babylon
with bells that we still ring

The Fire god of Hestia
the Fireplace divine
The Flames of Vesta’s memory
is what you’ll often find

Where the stockings will be hanging
waiting for their god
The Thor of Famous legend
will leap with just a nod

We sing the many carols
that tell this ancient Lore
but seldom do we listen
to the story that she bore

The tinsel and the glitter
we place upon the tree
so we can hear the spirits move
like wind upon the breeze

We crown the Tree we worship
with a star or angel breath
We light the electric candles
to show the hidden depth

Of the god who lives within the tree
the evergreen so high
while all the other trees are brown
this one will never die

We bend and place our presents
as we lean upon our knee
as an offering to appease the god
that lives within the tree

The Mistletoe is sacred
to the Druid Celtic priests
and the holly god called Saturn
rejoices with it’s wreath

Some say it is romantic
to gather round the tree
Some love to get engaged they say
on this day of Revery

The couple will be kissing
neath the vine of mistletoe
and few will know the meaning
of the things they do and so

This sacred Feast of Mithra
The Yule of Odin’s path
became the catholic mantra
which we now call The Mass

Yes the Mass of Christ – called ChristMas
Holds the thrill of Ancient Ways
They say it is the Birth of Christ
Who was born in warmer days

Yes the world is held in an ancient spell
that sparkles and yet it cries
for it ignites and it excites
the wonder of our eyes.

HOLLY

“Ancient pagans fashioned ivy “into wreaths
and garlands for decorations during the winter
months.” Ivy had close ties with the Roman god
of wine, Bacchus. Holly, meanwhile, figured
prominently in the Roman celebration of the
Saturnalia (upon which the Christmas holiday
was directly modeled), as it was considered
sacred to the god Saturn. Among the Celts,
holly played a major role in summer and
winter pagan solstice observances.”
– “The Green Mountain Gardener”
Dr. Leonard Perry,
“Holly and other evergreens were subsequently
adopted by common Christians as Christmas
decorations in Roman times. This, despite
protests from disapproving Church Fathers,
who regarded the decorations as “too pagan.”
Such protests notwithstanding, evergreen
decorations were well on their way to becoming
Christmas institutions, symbols of the pagan
past co-opted by the new religion.”
– “The Green Mountain Gardener”
Dr. Leonard Perry,

“Holly was the sacred plant of the god Saturn
and was used at the Roman Saturnalia festival
to honour him. Romans gave one another holly
wreaths and carried them about decorating
images of Saturn with it.”
-All About Christmas
Mistletoe and Holly

EVERGREENS

“Among pagans – In the days before Yule
a tree is cut and brought into the home
to decorate. Holly and mistletoe are also
hung around the house. Any greenery brought
inside during Winter are used to extend an
invitation to nature to join in our cele-
bration. A Yule altar is usually set up and
decorated with the colours red, green, white
and gold. It is tradition for some on Yule
to stay awake all night and greet the sun
when it rises. During the wait for the sun,
rituals are held, and spells are cast and
joyous celebration takes place.”
-A Pagan History of Christmas
by Lisa Pawley
“Symbols of The Pagan Yule are the evergreen
tree, Holly, mistletoe, wreaths, the Yule log
and a wheel with eight spokes. The eight spokes
represent the eight major Pagan Sabbaths or
Holy Days (Holidays)and are represented in
Christmas by Santa’s Eight Reindeer.”
-A Pagan History of Christmas
by Lisa Pawley

“Gift Giving – during the Roman festival of
Saturnalia, gifts were given as good luck
emblems and houses were decorated with
greenery. The early Christians, however,
frowned on this pagan ritual, and wouldn’t
have any part of it.”

“The ancient Romans decorated their homes
with greens for the mid-winter feast of
(the pagan) Saturnalia (in December).”
-Christmas Wreaths – The Tradition
By: Elisabeth Ginsburg

“We Christians neither cover our doorposts
with wreaths, nor…decorate our house like
some new brothel. We…do not celebrate
along with you the holidays…The pagan Romans
clad their doorposts with green and branching
laurels…In the Saturnalia…Presents come and go
..There are…gifts…and Banquets…yet Christians
should have no acquaintance with the festivals
of the pagans.”
– Tertullian, (A.D. 155-220),
quoted by David Bercot,
A Dictionary of Early
Christian Beliefs, 1998, p. 342).

“Evergreen trees were important fertility
emblems for pre-Christian ceremonies marking
the winter solstice. The decoration of
Christmas trees is a survival of pagan tree
veneration.”
-John Williamson,
in “Christmas Greenery”
The Dallas Morning News
(December 6, 1986)

“Scandinavians celebrated the solstice
as Yule. In Norse mythology the first man
sprang from an evergreen tree. On the
winter solstice – December 24-25 the
Evergreens were decorated with red apples.”
-The Christmas Tree
“A Modern Herbal” by Maud Grieve.

“Pagan Germans were tree worshipping
people. Like the old Romans they prized
evergreen trees. Branches were brought inside
to give shelter to the wood spirits who dwelled
in these trees. Sometimes small trees were
brought inside.”
– Merry Christmas, A History of the Holiday;
by Patricia Bunning Stevens

“To the Nordic people of Scandinavia,
any tree that did not ‘die’ by losing its
foliage through the bitter cold of the long
freezing winters was considered to be
harboring a tree-spirit of unfailing life.
Appropriately called ‘evergreens’, it is
not surprising, therefore, that evergreen
trees are adopted for use as Christmas trees.”

the Christmas Tree)

“People in Scandinavia once worshipped
trees. When they became Christians, they
made evergreen trees part of Christian
festivals.”

“Tree worship was a common feature of
pagan religion among the Teutonic and
Scandinavian peoples of northern Europe
before their conversion to Christianity.
They decorated houses and barns with
evergreens to scare away demons.”
-COMPTON’S
INTERACTIVE ENCYCLOPEDIA,
1997 Edition; article on “Christmas”

“Since earliest times everygreen trees
have been worshipped as symbols of life,
fertility, sexual potency and reproduction,
and were often brought into the house and
set up as idols. The pagans of old have hung
apples and other fruit as a food offering
and would offer gifts to the tree, which is
where we get putting presents under the tree.
This was purely pagan in origin.”

Mistletoe

“The common name of the mistletoe is
derived from bird droppings. “Mistel”
is the Anglo-Saxon word for “dung,” and
“toe” is the word for “twig.” So, mistletoe
means “dung-on-a-twig.”
-All About Christmas
Mistletoe and Holly

“Mistletoe was held sacred by the Norse,
the Celtic Druids and the North American
Indians. The Druid priests would cut
mistletoe from an oak tree with a golden
sickle. The branches had to be caught
before they touched the ground. They then
divided the branches into many sprigs
and distributed them to the people,
who hung them over doorways as protection
against thunder, lightning and other evils.”

“From time immemorial the mistletoe
has been the object of superstitious
veneration in Europe. It was worshipped
by the Druids, as we learn from a famous
passage of Pliny. After enumerating the
different kinds of mistletoe, he proceeds:
“In treating of this subject, the admiration
in which the mistletoe is held throughout
Gaul ought not to pass unnoticed. The Druids,
for so they call their wizards, esteem
nothing more sacred than the mistletoe.”

“The Druids gather the mistletoe with
solemn ceremony. A priest clad in a white
robe climbs the tree and with a golden
sickle cuts the mistletoe, which is caught
in a white cloth. Then they sacrifice the
victims.”

The Holly God – gathering Mistletoe

Above is a “YULE” card – depicting the Holly god
picking and gathering his Sacred Mistletoe.

Mistletoe

“No one loves a party like the ancient Romans,
and their festival of Saturnalia is one of the
most well-documented celebrations of the Winter
Solstice. This week-long bacchanal included
exchanging of gifts, lots of food and wine,
dancing and music. This festival honored Saturn,
of course, and he was an agricultural god.
To keep him happy, fertility rituals took place
under the mistletoe. Today, we don’t quite go
that far under our mistletoe (at least not usually)
but it does explain where the kissing tradition
comes from.”
-Mistletoe: Myths, Mysteries and Medicine
By Patti Wigington

“Mistletoe was a sacred plant for the
Druidic people in both Europe and Great
Britain, revered for promoting fertility
and protecting from evil spirits.”

Whose Christmas is it – Anyway ?

Many pagans and wiccans complain that the Christians stole
Christmas From them. After all – They did celebrate December 25
long before Christ was born.

Some Christians say that it doesn’t matter that Christ was NOT
born in December – and they claim that they are conquering
paganism by “Stealing” their Winter Solstice Celebrations.

More importantly, would Christ approve of this commercialized
holiday that honors the many gods of paganism ?

Who does Christmas Really Belong to ?

“Let’s get this right,
Christmas was a beautiful,
uplifting Pagan celebration
that Christianity purloined
and perverted for its own
dubious ends.”
-DUNDEE University
Emily Mackie

“Christians hijacked the midwinter
pagan festival.”
-The Freethinker
Barry Duke

The full facts concerning Christianity’s
theft of Christmas are detailed in Robert
Stovold’s illustrated 32-page booklet entitled
“Did Christians Steal Christmas?”, published
by the National Secular Society.

“Why did the Christians want the
twenty-fifth of December? Why that
particular date? Why did they deliberately
steal this very important date from the Pagans?”
-The Solstice Season
by Madalyn O’Hair

“Christians, with the authority of the
Roman emperors behind them, stole Christmas
from pagan society. Now perhaps it is time
to give it back. It is time to take Christ
out of Christmas.”
