With all of this arguing and deciding what day goes where, it is any wonder how people can argue now that Christianity and by extension its traditions are not strictly manufactured. Water drawn from the Nile on this day was said to turn to wine…”Ĭertain Church fathers such as Clement of Alexandria (c.150-c.215) favored May 20 th, while Hippolytus (c.170-c.236) wanted January 2 nd. November 17, November 20, and March 25, were all considered as well. Before the adoption of Decembers 25 as the birthday of Jesus the Spiritual Sun, the Nativity was celebrated on January 6, the day of ‘Epiphany’ or ‘manifestation’ of the Lord.” David also writes in his book that, “January 6 was also the date of Dionysian wine miracles. David Fideler writes in Jesus Christ Sun of God ofJanuary 6 th that it was “…the main festival of the Roman divinity Janus…” who “also represents the rebirth of the cyclical year an the renewal of time. Some Church fathers did not agree with the concept of a dated birthday as they related this to pagan gods. However, the Armenian Church still celebrates his birth on January 6 th. But was Jesus actually born on December 25 th, and if he was, is it a coincidence that he shares his birthday with other Sun gods such as Dionysus, Krishna, Attis, Mithra(s), and many others? In the case of Jesus, January 6 th was typically the date given to his supposed birth. The 6 th of January is the Feast of Epiphany, one of the Church’s earliest established feasts, and some Eastern Churches still hold this date to be the birth and baptism of the Christ. Eventually they adopted December 25 th as the birthday and later they included the baptism. When you think of Christmas you probably think of gifts, caroling, Christmas movies, snow, green trees, lights, Santa, stockings, cookies, and Jesus’ birthday.

The Secret Teachings 12/19/15 – The Christmas/Saturnalia/Yule/Winter Solstice Connection PT1 ( DOWNLOAD or LISTEN) This party took place on - would you believe it - December 25th.The Secret Teachings 12/19/15 – The Christmas/Saturnalia/Yule/Winter Solstice Connection w/Kevin Annett PT2 ( DOWNLOAD or LISTEN) In the later Roman Empire, " Dies Natalis of Sol Invictus" or the “Birthday of the Unconquerable Sun,” was marked to celebrate the days getting longer and coming of the new year. Usually marked by gift-giving, feasting and general merriment, Saturnalia took place on 17 December and was stretched to three and then seven days long. Saturnalia, a Roman festival which took place in the winter, celebrated Saturn the god of agriculture, liberation and parties. It turns out pagan traditions are everywhere at Christmas, so when you’re decorating your tree this year, think about our druid ancestors and what they would have made of your handiwork. It’s not that the whole of Christmas is plagiarised, but if you look you’ll see some long-running trends linked to pre-Christian Europeans.
