When I got saved in 2015, God led me to many enlightment of all these holidays, especially halloween, through many researches. I have never cared before but when I got saved, my eyes, ears, mind, and soul truly were opened. There is no excuse to justify why Christians should participate in Christmas. Jesus was born in September so stop it already.
Santa symbolizes the spirit of giving, definitely not Satan. But Satan turns anything meant to be good to evil. Satan does not reward kids for being good and punish kids for being bad. To often Christians condemn that that's good because of the evil trying to ruin it
12/25 is baby tammuz birthday. Unplug from these worldly traditions. Xmas trees are of pagan origin and Jeremiah 10 will tell you not to partake in this nonsense.
@michaelvaughan2160 GOOD FOR YOUUU I pray this bless you Matthew 15:8 "For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do." 2corinthians 6:17 " Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you" Jeremiah 10: 2-4 " 2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. Wow we have to seek the Lord for ourseleves! Remember this: Matthew 7:21-23 King James Version 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Please allow the Holy Spirit to guide you. Please read the word for yourself. There are so many more scriptures l could share about this exact topic. Thebible actual says and l quote " l hate your feast days" Amos 5:21, please go read it. Keep in mind " your feast days" refers to anything 'pagan' that God himself did not make. Its anything man made. So if you think its okay to celebrate Christmas, Valentines Day, Easter, yes easter, even thanks giving... do the research on where all those feast days stemmed from.. The early chruch did not celebrate any of these Pagan holidays; Remember God is the same today and forever he never changes. Also remember Eternity is forever, and light has no fellowship with darkness (2 Corinthians 6:14)❤.

The Bible does not tell us to observe Jesus birth that's why there is no specific date. But we are commanded to commemorate as his death and resurrection in Passover and the taking in of his body and his blood (the bread and wine.) "This do in remembrance of ME."
We not knowing exactly when Jesus was born made a day to celebrate it which is Dec.25. It's not about the day it's about the remembrance. Of course we remember Jesus but there are millions who would never think about Jesus if it were not for Christmas

No matter how sweet and nice and wonderful and even if you put red lip stick on a pig it doesn’t make the pig kissable so No , Ifs , Ands , Or Buts ! Christmas is a pagan holiday Jeremiah Chapter ; 10 Verses : 3-5

I lived to celebrate d birth of Christ d eternal Light everyday by repenting our sins, giving thanks & praises to our LORD & studying of d Word. That's living for Christ 1 day at a time until His return. Grace & blessings to all believers.

@@PraiseYESHAYAH Thank you for posting this. I knew I had read that about cutting down the tree and fastening it down with nails and decorating with Gold and Silver but I couldn't remember the book it was in. Let's be honest, even the atheist and satanist celebrate Christmas.
Christians preach sola scriptura-Bible only-but come December, they’re out here roasting chestnuts and singing carols about a holiday the Bible never mentioned. It’s like hosting a surprise party for Jesus and forgetting to invite Him. Wide is the gate, narrow is the way-and somehow, Santa squeezed through with his reindeer!
I also heard that Jesus was born on April 1st . They call it April fools day because they fooled us into celebrating on their pagan holiday. If you truly believe in God and want to do what is right, do you really want to purchase gifts so the pagans can reap the rewards because they lied to us on purpose? I don’t!
Wish we would have followed the Lord's 7 feasts as are written in the Bible. They have similar meaning in both the Old and New Testaments. But we know who's world this is........
I was fumbling my way just by the door way, heading into deep dark forest. Out of the darkness of youtube, a voice mumurs- hey buddy, the date should be Sept, u have been cheated. But you, your channel here today have set on fire the logs in the fireplace, now suddenly I can see, the warmth glow of my surrounding walls, the family members n friends within. I understand n appericiate ur timely posting of this video, otherwise I would wander aimlessly alone in the woods with the wolves. Praise be to Lord God for this message n to let you know your video has reached me. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
I’ve always been curious about the true origins of Christmas. After learning about its deeper history, both biblical and pagan influences, I can’t help but see the holiday in a new light. Understanding its roots has made my celebrations more meaningful.

The Messiah did not instruct us to observe his birth. One might say that Christmas is a mixture of the holy and the profane. Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
DEUTERONOMY 12:29-32 When the LORD your God cuts off from before you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you displace them and dwell in their land, take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise.’ You shall not worship the LORD your God in that way; for every abomination to the LORD which He hates they have done to their gods; for they burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods. “Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.
Thanksgiving Day - give thanks O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD. Psalm 117:1-2 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. Psalm 118:1 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Philippians 4:6
I have not celebrated Christmas in so many years because it is beyond pagan and people believe that you can just make the bad into the good you cannot that makes no sense to turn something so evil to try to make it into Jesus‘s birthday when the Bible clearly states that he was first of all born in the fall, he was born six months after John the Baptist so you could actually do the math there also, how is it about Jesus when people do all this Santa crap Santa bringing kids something and that’s not about Jesus is about trying to make your kids be good for 30 days and Easter is the same way Easter is made from the goddess eostre , which was the goddess of fertility that’s why you have a bunnies because they just populate like crazy eggs for the life and we know that bunnies own pop out eggs chocolate is an aphrodisiac, and none of that has to do with Jesus being on the cross to honor Jesus the correct way you would have to celebrate Passover, which is what Jesus actually taught us
We are not to mix Gods worship in the Bible with the nations ways of worship. This he said when you go into the land do not do what the nations do. He showed Israel when they were taken out of Egypt how to worship him. Yeshua was the word made flesh which meant he never did anything that went against Gods word that was in the beginning. His feast are what we are to celebrate which is all about God and Yeshua.
Amen, powerful, and very informative video when celebrating christmas as Christians, we should keep things simple because when you allow yourself to get caught up in the material aspect of Christmas, the hustle and bustle that comes into play around this time of year, you can find yourself feeling anxious and stressed out, because there is so much chatter going on. I have learned to focus on Christ while being away from my family for about 10 years. This truth, the peace Christ gives is FREE. and I didn't have the money all the time to travel, Christ taught me to focus on the joy and peace He offered, from that time away from my family God gave me a new meaning what Christmas is all about. Christmas is still my favorite holiday, and I keep it simple. I stopped looking for that magical moment, just remembering that Christ is the light that shines in me and the light that shines over the world. So now my Christmas is simple, I pray, bake cookie, listen to Christmas music, and watch my favorite Christmas movie, SCROOGE, besides kids get plenty of things throughout the years, and giving gifts, I baked goodies, and give them as gifts, people really appreciate a thoughtful gifts 🎁 thank you for sharing 🙏 ❤️ 🕊
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yess- ChristMAS is Satan's favorite holiday and Christians will suffer heavily for willingly participating in this delusion- as First warning of Christ in (Mat. 24.4 "be Not deceived by men!") BO Yeshua!
All I have to say is read Deuteronomy 12:29-31 Something to ponder.... Who came up with the term "Christian?" Did the Apostles embrace that, or was it the Roman Unified Church? Why did Constantine abandon all remnants of the Hebrew element in his new, Pagan Christian stew religion in 325AD? I submit that followers of Yahusha Ha'Mashiah were continuing on the path Yahuah Elohim set for them, and "The Way" believed that the prophecies had been fulfilled in the resurrection of Yahusha. There was no call or need to start a "new" religion. Yahusha said His ekklesia would be built upon this rock, and the gates of hell would not prevail against it. I don't find anywhere that He said go build temples for a new movement. On the contrary, we are the temple. The book of Acts affirms that as well. Why any followers of Yahusha Ha'Mashiah, after knowing the truth of the lie where this all started, would choose to continue in the falsehood of the false "religion" is something I believe that they need to work through. Make no mistake, Yahuah's people, believers, and true followers of Yahusha Ha'Mashiah have been deceived and misdirected since 325AD. The enemy is crafty in his deceit.
Of course Santa Claus is a wicked pagan tradition. But the Bible tells us to observe the feasts and holy days of the lands which we are in. Also, even though December 25th isn't the actual date that Jesus Christ was born, it is the date that the world celebrates His birth into this world, and no matter how wicked or pagan these feasts are, Jesus Christ is ALWAYS GREATER, only God can turn a curse into a blessing. Only God can cleanse these days. God knows the intents of our hearts. And we, who trust God and study His Word as we're commanded, understand that these idols are nothing. We celebrate Christmas in my home because Jesus Christ is greater, but i make sure my children understand its about Jesus Christ being born, and not about magical creatures like Santa Claus and presents. But for those whose faith is weak, as Paul tells us, it's perfectly fine for you to avoid this season. Just stay in your home and keep your television and radio off and see how much work the Lord will be able to do through you when you're secluded like that. Christmas is one of the greatest opportunities to share the gospel with the world along with Halloween and Easter
We, wifey and I are not going to make it all the way through this session of "double speak." Note the lower comment as to the evidence of Jeremiah 10 that doesn't seem to be showing up yet. I'm nauseated. Nice try.
3:36 kissing under the mistletoe is only an American concept. Not a Christian one. I don’t know about everyone else, people can do whatever they want, but after everything I’ve learned from ordained priests of the Catholic Church (Christmas is a strictly catholic holiday)and about the true Saint Nikolaus the Greek Bishop who pretty much shaped the way we celebrate Christmas (including some of the symbolic decorations we have today, lol the candy cane which is symbolic for the Bishop’s staff) today, I am totally celebrating Christmas this year with a joyful heart and gratitude to our Father for giving us all our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and saving my and my family’s souls from eternal damnation!😊❤ Thank you Jesus and the entire Holy Family in Heaven in which we have been adopted into by His grace and mercy, amen!
PART 2 - Sol Invictus - Another candidate for a pagan Roman festival that Christmas supposedly appropriated or incorporated or supplanted is Sol Invictus, which at least fell on December 25th. But the earliest date provided by historical evidence, for the Roman celebration is 274 AD, when it was instituted by the Roman emperor Aurelian. But the December 25th date for this festival did not begin in 274. It came eighty years later: There is no evidence that Aurelian instituted a celebration of Sol on December 25. As mentioned, a feast day for Sol on December 25th is not mentioned until eighty years later, in the Calendar of 354 AD and, subsequently, in 362 AD by Julian in his Oration to King Helios. In short, while the winter solstice on or around the 25 December was well established in the Roman imperial calendar, there is no evidence that a religious celebration of Sol on that day antedated the celebration of Christmas, and none that indicates that Aurelian had a hand in its institution. Upon examination, the notion that the cult of Sol in late antiquity represented a new pagan religion that potentially threatened to thwart Christianity, is not supported by any clear evidence. After reviewing the evidence of a December 25th date in the pagan Roman calendar, Dr. Steven E. Hijmans, Professor of Roman Archaeology at the University of Alberta, Canada, concludes: None of this tells us when the natalis invicti of December 25 entered the Roman calendar, but on this evidence, we must acknowledge that it is a real possibility that it did not do so until after the bishop of Rome first celebrated Christmas on that day. The beginning of the observance of Sol Invictus on December 25th, started anywhere from 70-220 years after Christians were celebrating Christmas on that date. So, the myth of Christmas coming from Sol Invictus can be safely laid to rest. The earliest attested date for the celebration of Sol Invictus is 274 AD, but it wasn't originally celebrated on December 25th. There is evidence to suggest Sol Invictus was originally observed as early as August or October and was only later changed to December 25th as a possible way for the Romans to counter Christians celebrating/observing Christmas, not the other way around. According to the Liber Pontificalis, Pope St. Telesphorus (125-136) instituted the tradition of celebrating midnight Mass, which means Christmas was already being celebrated. St. Theophilus (AD 115-181), bishop of Caesarea, stated, “We ought to celebrate the birthday of Our Lord on what day soever the 25th of December shall happen.” [Magdeburgenses, de orign Festorum Chirstianorum]. However, there is some conjecture of whether or not the above additions to this manuscript were very early (c. 600 AD) "additions" to the text (i.e., they were 'forged' into the text to evidence an early date for Christmas). Even if that is indeed the case, both Hippolytus of Rome (AD 170-240) and Clement of Alexandria (AD 153-217) commented on December 25th as the celebration/observation of the birth of Jesus. So even if Theophilus never said the above quote, not long after his dates, Hyppolytus and Clement both commented on December 25 which lends further support that the date of Sol Invictus was changed by the Romans from August or October to December to counter the Christian observance of Christmas. In short, it seems likely Christmas was already being observed by Christians by the early 2nd century AD which would predate Sol Invictus.
Yes any of us should have studied with basic discernment believe he was born in the spring. I celebrate the birth death and resurrection of Christ everyday in my life if anybody that knows me knows that December 25th will be no different than today Thanksgiving Day today was Thanksgiving to Christ giving us salvation and a new life
True believers are obligated to help Israel: In Genesis 12:3 and Numbers 24:9, God explains the blessings that await us if we help and pray for Israel and the cursings that will happen if we do not help or pray for Israel. America is blessed for being an ally to the Holy land of Israel-if we continue to pray and bless Israel, then God will destroy the viruses, plagues, inflation, and death that is to befall America. However, if we choose not to help Israel, then we will see all of these things come to pass. True believers *_must_* know this, for it is very important to God and we must keep His words.

If you’re doing🎄you’re not born again! John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye MUST be born again. Jeremiah 10:5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: 👉they MUST needs be borne, because they cannot go.👈 Psalm 115 & Psalm 135 prophecies about becoming deaf, dumb & blind like your idols it includes statues, rosary beads, crosses, images of “Messiah” hidden idols in your heart. So if I take a🎄& decorate it I’m ok but if I carve it a little (still a🎄) & put the same decorations on it it’s no good? WRONG carved it not still a🎄U decorated aka idol So stupid to sing to the 🎄? Oh Xmas🎄Oh Xmas🎄! The traditions of Xmas was & always will be pagan, read Deut 12 DONT LEARN THE WAYS OF THE HEATHEN & WORSHIP ME WITH THEM! U can’t take all the traditions of the winter solstice & call it xmas Changing the name doesn’t make it less pagan. Mistletoe, stockings, jingle bells, wreaths ALL PART OF WINTER SOLSTICE

@mirandadavisz730 I pray this bless you Matthew 15:8 "For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do." 2corinthians 6:17 " Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you" Jeremiah 10: 2-4 " 2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. Wow we have to seek the Lord for ourseleves! Remember this: Matthew 7:21-23 King James Version 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Please allow the Holy Spirit to guide you. Please read the word for yourself. There are so many more scriptures l could share about this exact topic. Thebible actual says and l quote " l hate your feast days" Amos 5:21, please go read it. Keep in mind " your feast days" refers to anything 'pagan' that God himself did not make. Its anything man made. So if you think its okay to celebrate Christmas, Valentines Day, Easter, yes easter, even thanks giving... do the research on where all those feast days stemmed from.. The early chruch did not celebrate any of these Pagan holidays; Remember God is the same today and forever he never changes.

PART 1 - The idea that Christmas is pagan actually comes from die-hard Protestant fundamentalists in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries. In those centuries, many Protestants regarded holidays like Christmas and Easter as “popery” and therefore sought to discredit them by linking them with ancient paganism. The idea that Christmas might be pagan was advanced as early as 1648 in the work Certain Queries Touching the Rise and Observation of Christmas, written by the Puritan Joseph Heming. Later fundamentalist writers really took the idea and ran with it. Let’s tackle the date first. Many are keen to assert that the December 25th date was chosen because it is so close to the Winter Solstice, a date known to have various pagan celebrations.
The date of December 25th for the birth of Jesus has nothing to do with anything pagan, it is a straightforward deduction from Scripture, analyzed in conjunction with historical knowledge about those who worked in the temple. To briefly summarize: The priestly course of Abias (the course of Saint Zacharias) was undoubtedly serving during the second week of the Jewish month of Tishri-the very week of the Day of Atonement on the tenth day of Tishri. In our calendar, the Day of Atonement would land anywhere from September 22 to October 8. Zacharias and Elizabeth conceived John the Baptist immediately after Zacharias served his course. This entails that Saint John the Baptist would have been conceived somewhere around the end of September, placing John’s birth at the end of June, confirming the early church’s celebration of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist on June 24. The rest of the dating is rather simple. We read that just after the Virgin Mary conceived Christ, she went to visit her cousin Elizabeth who was six months pregnant with John the Baptist. This means that John the Baptist was six months older than Jesus. If you add six months to June 24 you get December 24-25 as the birthday of Jesus. Then, if you subtract nine months from December 25 you get that the Annunciation was March 25. So, as can be seen, the date was derived from considerations having nothing whatsoever to do with Roman festivals or any other December-related cultural or non-Christian religious activities. Granted, modern scholarship has demonstrated that the birth of Jesus actually occurred more likely in either the Spring, at some point in early April, or in the fall, at some point in late September, but for people living almost 2,000 years ago however, they used what data they had, and none of it came from pre-Christian or pagan sources. Saturnalia - First, the Winter Solstice had no festive significance to ancient Romans. There were no celebrations planned for the date and they disagreed on when it was. The Julian Calendar does say 12/25, but Pliny the Elder says 12/26 (nat. his. 18.59.221), and Columella says 12/23 (De Re Rustica 9.14.12). Saturnalia was a Roman festival of Saturn and was never on December 25th. Macrobius says Saturnalia began 14 days before January, which comes out to December 17th, using Roman Calendrical dates. He says it lasted for 3 days, but according to the Fasti inscriptions, it lasted to around the 23rd during the days of the Republic. In short, the official dates for how long Saturnalia was supposed to last varied depending on which time period a person happened to live in, and which emperor happened to be in power at the time. Nonetheless, throughout the entire period of the Roman Republic (lasted c. 509 - c. 27 BCE) and the Principate (lasted c. 27 BCE - c. 284 CE), by the time December 25th rolled around, Saturnalia was definitely already over. Throughout this entire period of Roman history, there is not a single mention of anyone ever celebrating Saturnalia on December 25th or even thinking that other people celebrated it on December 25th. The celebration itself may originally have been a farming festival; the evidence is unclear. It was associated with an overturning of various regulations and social norms: free citizens often wore a freedman’s hat, the pilleus, and played gambling games that were normally illegal; slaves would dine alongside their masters, or even act the part of master. People would exchange gifts of candles and clay figurines. There’s absolutely no link to Christmas. The date? No, they’re not on the same date. . . . By the time December 25th rolls around, Saturnalia celebrations are well over. Historical similarity does not equate to historical sameness. The modern custom of gift-giving at Christmas does not tie back to pagan Saturnalia. It dates back to the 16th century. That is when Luther introduced the Christkind in an attempt to discourage veneration of St Nicholas, who was associated with gift-giving on his feast day of 6 December. In late mediaeval Germany gift-giving had also been associated with the feast of the Holy Innocents, on 28 December. It’s possible that Christmas charity from aristocrats to the poor goes back a bit further. But there’s certainly no evidence to suggest continuity all the way back to when Saturnalia was still being celebrated.
0:00 I don’t recommend listening or watching this video. For the creator is being completely manipulative and disingenuous with its message. Even after telling you the truth about the origins of Christmas, the creator continues to persuade others to celebrate. This goes to show the creator of this video and channel is not a sincere Christian or follower of Christ, but is of the world. And if you decide to watch h and is a true believer of the BIBLE, you will see exactly what I mean. Can’t trust someone who is hot and cold, nor lukewarm
You are being disingenuous about the origins of Christmas. You get no more support from me, you are a false believer and you’ve shown your agenda is simply for views and not the actual truth. You can’t be trusted to speak the truth seeing as though you can know the truth and still act as if it isn’t
I used to believe this nonsense and it ruined my holidays by my intellectual pride in having "hidden knowledge." When I began studying Orthodoxy, I realized that they have been the keepers of the faith from the beginning of Christianity and they have debunked these lies about the pagan origins of Christmas. Instead of focusing on the negative, commercialized, material aspects of Christmas, focus on honoring Christ, giving from the heart, and learning about the venerable life of St. Nicholas, the wonderworker of Myra. Debunking these lies has brought me back to celebrating the holidays with a renewed joy and appreciation of our Lord, and an increased gratitude for the time that I spend with loved ones.
23:54 It has no spiritual roots and nothing to do with Jesus. 24:21 that’s because it has nothing to do with God and there is no balance. You can mix Christ with the world. 24:49 there is no meaning for Christians about the Christmas. 25:14 no it is not stop lying to ppl. 25:24 and IT IS FOUND IN ITS ORIGINS! You are a completely false teacher
To some we take a day to celebrate Jesus Christ birth...everyday is special for our Messiah... those that Christ in our hearts know the birth was our Miracle..it's ok to have a miracle birth where we celebrate our Messiah..we don't know the exact day but we can celebrate ..may Jesus Christ our Savior be with us all everyday ...Merry Christmas to you and Jesus Christ who is the one and only
PART 3 - Most people have heard the story about how the ancient Germanic people brought evergreen trees into their houses around Winter Solstice (Germanic ‘Yule’) and typically hung them upside down from rafters. It leaves us with images of a Viking long house bedecked with several trees hanging from the rafters while those gathered inside made merry with fire, feasting and mead. Except that never happened. There is no historical evidence from any of the eddas or sagas or any writings, that offer a shred of historical evidence to support the idea that pagan Germanic peoples brought evergreen trees into their homes at Yule or had a concept of a yule log or something similar. Yule Logs do not go back to paganism, despite the name. Yule is also an English word to mean "mid-winter period." The first mention of yule logs is in Robert Herrick’s, "Hesperides” a poetry collection, and he calls it a Christmas log. It wasn't called a yule log until Aubrey's work “In the West-Riding of Yorkshire on Christmas Eve” which dates to 1686. So, the Yule Log is really a more recent concept and has zero connections back to some pagan antecedent. Many people associate mistletoe, ivy and holly with the ancient Celts as all three plants were held as sacred in Druidism. Thus, they opine, their inclusion in Christmas is pagan and this is proffered as just one more reason not to celebrate Christmas due to its pagan origins. Again, historical similarity does not equate to historical sameness. The first mention of mistletoe in connection with Christmas goes back to only the 1600’s. The tradition of kissing under the mistletoe comes even later, the end of the 1700’s. Again, no ties to an ancient pagan past. The origins of Christmas trees are rooted in present-day Germany and date to the 16th century. The first mention of Christmas trees is in an Alsace ordinance in 1561. Almost no early Germanic pagans thought pine trees were sacred, let alone associated with Christmas. Germanic tribes believed the oak was sacred, not the evergreen tree. The Christmas tree morphed over from so-called paradise trees. There were many allegorical-type plays done in the Middle Ages at various markets. One such play was called the Paradise Play, performed to celebrate the feast day of Adam and Eve, which fell on Christmas Eve. In the dead of winter, not a lot of trees are available, so the “tree of knowledge” was represented by an evergreen fir with apples tied to its branches. There is documentation of trees decorated with wool thread, straw, apples, nuts and pretzels. After the play, the treats would be eaten. The practice likely gave way to having trees in the house at Christmas. In 1419 for example, a guild in Freiburg put up a tree decorated with apples, flour-paste wafers, tinsel and gingerbread. These eventually gave way to modern ornaments. The Christmas tree is not historically attested any earlier than this time period. Candles on trees date to the late 1400’s and have zero connection to paganism - same with ornaments and tinsel. It is often claimed that Óðinn/Odin was believed by the Norse to bring presents for children at Jól/Yule, but no one seems to be able to cite a single source of historical evidence to support this claim. The reason being is that there is none. Óðinn is primarily associated with Jól through his epithet Jólnir, which means “the Yuler” or “the One Who Yules.” This epithet is attested in the very old skaldic poem Háleygjatal, composed in the late tenth century CE by the skaldic poet Eyvindr Skáldaspillir. There are over eighty different names for Óðinn attested in the surviving Old Norse sources and Jólnir is merely one of these many names. Additionally, although the epithet Jólnir certainly indicates that Óðinn was associated with the holiday of Jól in some way, it does not explain the nature of this association. It certainly does not even remotely suggest in any way that any Norse person during the Middle Ages ever thought that Óðinn might have brought people presents at Jól. Many Old Norse sources, including the Saga of Hákon the Good, written by the Icelandic antiquarian Snorri Sturluson (lived 1179 - 1241), suggest that Jól was a time when people drank toasts to various deities. Many historians speculate that Óðinn may have simply been the main deity to whom people drank toasts at Jól and that this may be the reason for his association with the holiday. This bit of misinformation seems to have originated as a backformation based on the pre-existing assumption that Santa Claus has been influenced by Óðinn. Since Santa Claus is said to bring presents to children at Christmas today and people already assumed Santa has been influenced by Óðinn, they seem to have concluded that Óðinn must have brought presents in midwinter as well, despite there being zero historical evidence attesting this. In short, there is zero historic evidence that Óðinn ever gave gifts at Jól. Many people also point to Odin’s horse Sleipnir as the source for Santa’s flying reindeer. This is completely implausible. For one thing, in Norse mythology, Sleipnir was an eight-legged horse, not a reindeer. Furthermore, Odin was imagined riding on Sleipnir’s back, not riding in a sleigh pulled by him. When we celebrate Christmas (and other holidays as well), we are definitely participating in a tradition with deep historical roots and traditions. But those traditions are firmly situated in the medieval Christian past, not an ancient pagan one.
If you don’t celebrate Christmas, so what it’s your business let other people alone that doesn’t make you any better or any more superior because you don’t celebrate no one cares!!
Bro. U have explained well it's pagan n YESHUA nor disciples asked us celebrate. Moreover the bible also told us that God hates paganism. So stop celebrating it n don't corrupt God's word. Everything is pagan don't YESHUA in it. God said no other god is beside me.
These AI-generated videos are incredibly annoying, overly stylized, and inaccurate. Check your descriptions and prompts before publishing. The way you depicted Queen Victoria is so cringe-it looks like you got your history completely wrong. She looks like she’s from the early 16th century!
If you’re doing🎄you’re not born again! John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye MUST be born again. Jeremiah 10:5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: 👉they MUST needs be borne, because they cannot go.👈 Psalm 115 & Psalm 135 prophecies about becoming deaf, dumb & blind like your idols it includes statues, rosary beads, crosses, images of “Messiah” hidden idols in your heart. So if I take a🎄& decorate it I’m ok but if I carve it a little (still a🎄) & put the same decorations on it it’s no good? WRONG carved it not still a🎄U decorated aka idol So stupid to sing to the 🎄? Oh Xmas🎄Oh Xmas🎄! The traditions of Xmas was & always will be pagan, read Deut 12 DONT LEARN THE WAYS OF THE HEATHEN & WORSHIP ME WITH THEM! U can’t take all the traditions of the winter solstice & call it xmas Changing the name doesn’t make it less pagan. Mistletoe, stockings, jingle bells, wreaths ALL PART OF WINTER SOLSTICE
Take no part, for holy and unholy do not work together. Be not deceived.
When I got saved in 2015, God led me to many enlightment of all these holidays, especially halloween, through many researches. I have never cared before but when I got saved, my eyes, ears, mind, and soul truly were opened. There is no excuse to justify why Christians should participate in Christmas. Jesus was born in September so stop it already.
Amen
Santa Claus is satan claws. Lord Jesus Christ is truly our Lord and Savior🙏🏼❤️🕊Repent, believe in the Gospel, Be Born Again
Satan claws? Lmao 🤣 🤣 hail Satan btw
Santa symbolizes the spirit of giving, definitely not Satan. But Satan turns anything meant to be good to evil. Satan does not reward kids for being good and punish kids for being bad. To often Christians condemn that that's good because of the evil trying to ruin it
You are right!
Nanoo! Nanoo!
Satan Lucas
So glad that others are waking up to the truths about our world
If some choose not to celebrate Christmas it is okay, Jesus never said celebrate his birth but to remember his sacrifice.
I hope many will realise, we’ve been duped for so long & that there’s no need to waste money.
12/25 is baby tammuz birthday. Unplug from these worldly traditions. Xmas trees are of pagan origin and Jeremiah 10 will tell you not to partake in this nonsense.
Thank you for this ! Finally! Well done!

won't be celebrating christmas I choose Jesus

The Bible does not tell us to observe Jesus birth that's why there is no specific date. But we are commanded to commemorate as his death and resurrection in Passover and the taking in of his body and his blood (the bread and wine.) "This do in remembrance of ME."
Thank you. I try to tell ppl that and they would argue it no matter what
Luke 2 is real, but did not occur in December. If you believe Jesus was born on December 25th, then you're clueless about Jesus. 💯👍
Wasn't Jesus born in July. Correct if wrong.
We not knowing exactly when Jesus was born made a day to celebrate it which is Dec.25. It's not about the day it's about the remembrance. Of course we remember Jesus but there are millions who would never think about Jesus if it were not for Christmas

@@PraiseYESHAYAH Thank you for posting this. I knew I had read that about cutting down the tree and fastening it down with nails and decorating with Gold and Silver but I couldn't remember the book it was in. Let's be honest, even the atheist and satanist celebrate Christmas.
Christians preach sola scriptura-Bible only-but come December, they’re out here roasting chestnuts and singing carols about a holiday the Bible never mentioned. It’s like hosting a surprise party for Jesus and forgetting to invite Him. Wide is the gate, narrow is the way-and somehow, Santa squeezed through with his reindeer!
I also heard that Jesus was born on April 1st . They call it April fools day because they fooled us into celebrating on their pagan holiday. If you truly believe in God and want to do what is right, do you really want to purchase gifts so the pagans can reap the rewards because they lied to us on purpose? I don’t!
Forgive us FATHER GOD 🙏 Have Mercy on us All,in JESUS name.AMEN ✝️🪽💜
Wish we would have followed the Lord's 7 feasts as are written in the Bible. They have similar meaning in both the Old and New Testaments. But we know who's world this is........
Doesnt matter what we think....its what He thinks....our opinions does not matter.
I was fumbling my way just by the door way, heading into deep dark forest. Out of the darkness of youtube, a voice mumurs- hey buddy, the date should be Sept, u have been cheated. But you, your channel here today have set on fire the logs in the fireplace, now suddenly I can see, the warmth glow of my surrounding walls, the family members n friends within. I understand n appericiate ur timely posting of this video, otherwise I would wander aimlessly alone in the woods with the wolves. Praise be to Lord God for this message n to let you know your video has reached me. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Is it just me or does this kind of say it’s okay to celebrate?? Pagan is pagan. Even if one tries to “spin” it.
So then we have been lied to again. I wonder what else we’ve been suckered into believing or not believing.
I’ve always been curious about the true origins of Christmas. After learning about its deeper history, both biblical and pagan influences, I can’t help but see the holiday in a new light. Understanding its roots has made my celebrations more meaningful.

4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Wow we have to seek the Lord for ourseleves! Remember this:
Matthew 7:21-23
King James Version
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

The Messiah did not instruct us to observe his birth. One might say that Christmas is a mixture of the holy and the profane.
Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
DEUTERONOMY 12:29-32
When the LORD your God cuts off from before you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you displace them and dwell in their land, take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise.’ You shall not worship the LORD your God in that way; for every abomination to the LORD which He hates they have done to their gods; for they burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods. “Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.
Thanksgiving Day - give thanks
O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 117:1-2
O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
Psalm 118:1
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Philippians 4:6
I have not celebrated Christmas in so many years because it is beyond pagan and people believe that you can just make the bad into the good you cannot that makes no sense to turn something so evil to try to make it into Jesus‘s birthday when the Bible clearly states that he was first of all born in the fall, he was born six months after John the Baptist so you could actually do the math there also, how is it about Jesus when people do all this Santa crap Santa bringing kids something and that’s not about Jesus is about trying to make your kids be good for 30 days and Easter is the same way Easter is made from the goddess eostre , which was the goddess of fertility that’s why you have a bunnies because they just populate like crazy eggs for the life and we know that bunnies own pop out eggs chocolate is an aphrodisiac, and none of that has to do with Jesus being on the cross to honor Jesus the correct way you would have to celebrate Passover, which is what Jesus actually taught us
Thank you for this beautiful message and the powerful truth.
Thank You For Watching Uriel
Half-truth !!! Bible tells how to remember Him!
We are not to mix Gods worship in the Bible with the nations ways of worship. This he said when you go into the land do not do what the nations do. He showed Israel when they were taken out of Egypt how to worship him. Yeshua was the word made flesh which meant he never did anything that went against Gods word that was in the beginning. His feast are what we are to celebrate which is all about God and Yeshua.
The Bible do talk about the Christmas tree.
Amen GODbless you❤
Those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Xmas is a lie. The most high can not be pleased with a lie.
Yahweh tells us not to follow the traditions of the pagans Deuteronomy 12:31 esv
That is true.
Amen, powerful, and very informative video when celebrating christmas as Christians, we should keep things simple because when you allow yourself to get caught up in the material aspect of Christmas, the hustle and bustle that comes into play around this time of year, you can find yourself feeling anxious and stressed out, because there is so much chatter going on. I have learned to focus on Christ while being away from my family for about 10 years. This truth, the peace Christ gives is FREE. and I didn't have the money all the time to travel, Christ taught me to focus on the joy and peace He offered, from that time away from my family God gave me a new meaning what Christmas is all about. Christmas is still my favorite holiday, and I keep it simple. I stopped looking for that magical moment, just remembering that Christ is the light that shines in me and the light that shines over the world. So now my Christmas is simple, I pray, bake cookie, listen to Christmas music, and watch my favorite Christmas movie, SCROOGE, besides kids get plenty of things throughout the years, and giving gifts, I baked goodies, and give them as gifts, people really appreciate a thoughtful gifts 🎁 thank you for sharing 🙏 ❤️ 🕊

Christmas is like in the end of oct. Wow. Yep. All these holidays are all jacked up. 🎉🎉❤😊
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yess- ChristMAS is Satan's favorite holiday and Christians will suffer heavily for willingly participating in this delusion- as First warning of Christ in (Mat. 24.4 "be Not deceived by men!") BO Yeshua!
All I have to say is read Deuteronomy 12:29-31
Something to ponder.... Who came up with the term "Christian?" Did the Apostles embrace that, or was it the Roman Unified Church? Why did Constantine abandon all remnants of the Hebrew element in his new, Pagan Christian stew religion in 325AD?
I submit that followers of Yahusha Ha'Mashiah were continuing on the path Yahuah Elohim set for them, and "The Way" believed that the prophecies had been fulfilled in the resurrection of Yahusha. There was no call or need to start a "new" religion. Yahusha said His ekklesia would be built upon this rock, and the gates of hell would not prevail against it. I don't find anywhere that He said go build temples for a new movement. On the contrary, we are the temple. The book of Acts affirms that as well. Why any followers of Yahusha Ha'Mashiah, after knowing the truth of the lie where this all started, would choose to continue in the falsehood of the false "religion" is something I believe that they need to work through. Make no mistake, Yahuah's people, believers, and true followers of Yahusha Ha'Mashiah have been deceived and misdirected since 325AD. The enemy is crafty in his deceit.
Of course Santa Claus is a wicked pagan tradition. But the Bible tells us to observe the feasts and holy days of the lands which we are in. Also, even though December 25th isn't the actual date that Jesus Christ was born, it is the date that the world celebrates His birth into this world, and no matter how wicked or pagan these feasts are, Jesus Christ is ALWAYS GREATER, only God can turn a curse into a blessing. Only God can cleanse these days. God knows the intents of our hearts. And we, who trust God and study His Word as we're commanded, understand that these idols are nothing. We celebrate Christmas in my home because Jesus Christ is greater, but i make sure my children understand its about Jesus Christ being born, and not about magical creatures like Santa Claus and presents. But for those whose faith is weak, as Paul tells us, it's perfectly fine for you to avoid this season. Just stay in your home and keep your television and radio off and see how much work the Lord will be able to do through you when you're secluded like that. Christmas is one of the greatest opportunities to share the gospel with the world along with Halloween and Easter
We, wifey and I are not going to make it all the way through this session of "double speak." Note the lower comment as to the evidence of Jeremiah 10 that doesn't seem to be showing up yet. I'm nauseated. Nice try.
3:36 kissing under the mistletoe is only an American concept.
Not a Christian one.
I don’t know about everyone else, people can do whatever they want, but after everything I’ve learned from ordained priests of the Catholic Church (Christmas is a strictly catholic holiday)and about the true Saint Nikolaus the Greek Bishop who pretty much shaped the way we celebrate Christmas (including some of the symbolic decorations we have today, lol the candy cane which is symbolic for the Bishop’s staff) today, I am totally celebrating Christmas this year with a joyful heart and gratitude to our Father for giving us all our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and saving my and my family’s souls from eternal damnation!😊❤
Thank you Jesus and the entire Holy Family in Heaven in which we have been adopted into by His grace and mercy, amen!
PART 2 -
Sol Invictus -
Another candidate for a pagan Roman festival that Christmas supposedly appropriated or incorporated or supplanted is Sol Invictus, which at least fell on December 25th. But the earliest date provided by historical evidence, for the Roman celebration is 274 AD, when it was instituted by the Roman emperor Aurelian. But the December 25th date for this festival did not begin in 274. It came eighty years later:
There is no evidence that Aurelian instituted a celebration of Sol on December 25. As mentioned, a feast day for Sol on December 25th is not mentioned until eighty years later, in the Calendar of 354 AD and, subsequently, in 362 AD by Julian in his Oration to King Helios.
In short, while the winter solstice on or around the 25 December was well established in the Roman imperial calendar, there is no evidence that a religious celebration of Sol on that day antedated the celebration of Christmas, and none that indicates that Aurelian had a hand in its institution.
Upon examination, the notion that the cult of Sol in late antiquity represented a new pagan religion that potentially threatened to thwart Christianity, is not supported by any clear evidence.
After reviewing the evidence of a December 25th date in the pagan Roman calendar, Dr. Steven E. Hijmans, Professor of Roman Archaeology at the University of Alberta, Canada, concludes:
None of this tells us when the natalis invicti of December 25 entered the Roman calendar, but on this evidence, we must acknowledge that it is a real possibility that it did not do so until after the bishop of Rome first celebrated Christmas on that day.
The beginning of the observance of Sol Invictus on December 25th, started anywhere from 70-220 years after Christians were celebrating Christmas on that date. So, the myth of Christmas coming from Sol Invictus can be safely laid to rest.
The earliest attested date for the celebration of Sol Invictus is 274 AD, but it wasn't originally celebrated on December 25th. There is evidence to suggest Sol Invictus was originally observed as early as August or October and was only later changed to December 25th as a possible way for the Romans to counter Christians celebrating/observing Christmas, not the other way around.
According to the Liber Pontificalis, Pope St. Telesphorus (125-136) instituted the tradition of celebrating midnight Mass, which means Christmas was already being celebrated. St. Theophilus (AD 115-181), bishop of Caesarea, stated, “We ought to celebrate the birthday of Our Lord on what day soever the 25th of December shall happen.” [Magdeburgenses, de orign Festorum Chirstianorum].
However, there is some conjecture of whether or not the above additions to this manuscript were very early (c. 600 AD) "additions" to the text (i.e., they were 'forged' into the text to evidence an early date for Christmas).
Even if that is indeed the case, both Hippolytus of Rome (AD 170-240) and Clement of Alexandria (AD 153-217) commented on December 25th as the celebration/observation of the birth of Jesus. So even if Theophilus never said the above quote, not long after his dates, Hyppolytus and Clement both commented on December 25 which lends further support that the date of Sol Invictus was changed by the Romans from August or October to December to counter the Christian observance of Christmas.
In short, it seems likely Christmas was already being observed by Christians by the early 2nd century AD which would predate Sol Invictus.
We Hebrews celebrate Hannukah feast of dedication. John 10:22
Yes any of us should have studied with basic discernment believe he was born in the spring. I celebrate the birth death and resurrection of Christ everyday in my life if anybody that knows me knows that December 25th will be no different than today Thanksgiving Day today was Thanksgiving to Christ giving us salvation and a new life

True believers are obligated to help Israel:
In Genesis 12:3 and Numbers 24:9, God explains the blessings that await us if we help and pray for Israel and the cursings that will happen if we do not help or pray for Israel. America is blessed for being an ally to the Holy land of Israel-if we continue to pray and bless Israel, then God will destroy the viruses, plagues, inflation, and death that is to befall America. However, if we choose not to help Israel, then we will see all of these things come to pass. True believers *_must_* know this, for it is very important to God and we must keep His words.

PART 1 -
The idea that Christmas is pagan actually comes from die-hard Protestant fundamentalists in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries. In those centuries, many Protestants regarded holidays like Christmas and Easter as “popery” and therefore sought to discredit them by linking them with ancient paganism. The idea that Christmas might be pagan was advanced as early as 1648 in the work Certain Queries Touching the Rise and Observation of Christmas, written by the Puritan Joseph Heming. Later fundamentalist writers really took the idea and ran with it.
Let’s tackle the date first. Many are keen to assert that the December 25th date was chosen because it is so close to the Winter Solstice, a date known to have various pagan celebrations.
The date of December 25th for the birth of Jesus has nothing to do with anything pagan, it is a straightforward deduction from Scripture, analyzed in conjunction with historical knowledge about those who worked in the temple. To briefly summarize: The priestly course of Abias (the course of Saint Zacharias) was undoubtedly serving during the second week of the Jewish month of Tishri-the very week of the Day of Atonement on the tenth day of Tishri. In our calendar, the Day of Atonement would land anywhere from September 22 to October 8. Zacharias and Elizabeth conceived John the Baptist immediately after Zacharias served his course. This entails that Saint John the Baptist would have been conceived somewhere around the end of September, placing John’s birth at the end of June, confirming the early church’s celebration of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist on June 24. The rest of the dating is rather simple. We read that just after the Virgin Mary conceived Christ, she went to visit her cousin Elizabeth who was six months pregnant with John the Baptist. This means that John the Baptist was six months older than Jesus. If you add six months to June 24 you get December 24-25 as the birthday of Jesus. Then, if you subtract nine months from December 25 you get that the Annunciation was March 25.
So, as can be seen, the date was derived from considerations having nothing whatsoever to do with Roman festivals or any other December-related cultural or non-Christian religious activities. Granted, modern scholarship has demonstrated that the birth of Jesus actually occurred more likely in either the Spring, at some point in early April, or in the fall, at some point in late September, but for people living almost 2,000 years ago however, they used what data they had, and none of it came from pre-Christian or pagan sources.
Saturnalia -
First, the Winter Solstice had no festive significance to ancient Romans. There were no celebrations planned for the date and they disagreed on when it was. The Julian Calendar does say 12/25, but Pliny the Elder says 12/26 (nat. his. 18.59.221), and Columella says 12/23 (De Re Rustica 9.14.12).
Saturnalia was a Roman festival of Saturn and was never on December 25th. Macrobius says Saturnalia began 14 days before January, which comes out to December 17th, using Roman Calendrical dates. He says it lasted for 3 days, but according to the Fasti inscriptions, it lasted to around the 23rd during the days of the Republic. In short, the official dates for how long Saturnalia was supposed to last varied depending on which time period a person happened to live in, and which emperor happened to be in power at the time. Nonetheless, throughout the entire period of the Roman Republic (lasted c. 509 - c. 27 BCE) and the Principate (lasted c. 27 BCE - c. 284 CE), by the time December 25th rolled around, Saturnalia was definitely already over. Throughout this entire period of Roman history, there is not a single mention of anyone ever celebrating Saturnalia on December 25th or even thinking that other people celebrated it on December 25th. The celebration itself may originally have been a farming festival; the evidence is unclear.
It was associated with an overturning of various regulations and social norms: free citizens often wore a freedman’s hat, the pilleus, and played gambling games that were normally illegal; slaves would dine alongside their masters, or even act the part of master. People would exchange gifts of candles and clay figurines.
There’s absolutely no link to Christmas. The date? No, they’re not on the same date. . . . By the time December 25th rolls around, Saturnalia celebrations are well over.
Historical similarity does not equate to historical sameness. The modern custom of gift-giving at Christmas does not tie back to pagan Saturnalia. It dates back to the 16th century. That is when Luther introduced the Christkind in an attempt to discourage veneration of St Nicholas, who was associated with gift-giving on his feast day of 6 December. In late mediaeval Germany gift-giving had also been associated with the feast of the Holy Innocents, on 28 December. It’s possible that Christmas charity from aristocrats to the poor goes back a bit further. But there’s certainly no evidence to suggest continuity all the way back to when Saturnalia was still being celebrated.
Why write so much? Believe what you want. You wrote a book.
@paulinediggs2659
No, hardly a book. The point is to displace the false notion that our holidays have pagan origins.
@@paulinediggs2659 why so spiteful. Dont like it then don't read it.
According to ethiopian orthodox tewahedo bete Christian calendar jesus christ is born in December 29!
0:00 I don’t recommend listening or watching this video. For the creator is being completely manipulative and disingenuous with its message. Even after telling you the truth about the origins of Christmas, the creator continues to persuade others to celebrate. This goes to show the creator of this video and channel is not a sincere Christian or follower of Christ, but is of the world. And if you decide to watch h and is a true believer of the BIBLE, you will see exactly what I mean. Can’t trust someone who is hot and cold, nor lukewarm
You are being disingenuous about the origins of Christmas. You get no more support from me, you are a false believer and you’ve shown your agenda is simply for views and not the actual truth. You can’t be trusted to speak the truth seeing as though you can know the truth and still act as if it isn’t
I used to believe this nonsense and it ruined my holidays by my intellectual pride in having "hidden knowledge." When I began studying Orthodoxy, I realized that they have been the keepers of the faith from the beginning of Christianity and they have debunked these lies about the pagan origins of Christmas. Instead of focusing on the negative, commercialized, material aspects of Christmas, focus on honoring Christ, giving from the heart, and learning about the venerable life of St. Nicholas, the wonderworker of Myra. Debunking these lies has brought me back to celebrating the holidays with a renewed joy and appreciation of our Lord, and an increased gratitude for the time that I spend with loved ones.
Amen 🌹 🙏 ✝️ 🤍
23:54 It has no spiritual roots and nothing to do with Jesus. 24:21 that’s because it has nothing to do with God and there is no balance. You can mix Christ with the world. 24:49 there is no meaning for Christians about the Christmas. 25:14 no it is not stop lying to ppl. 25:24 and IT IS FOUND IN ITS ORIGINS! You are a completely false teacher
To some we take a day to celebrate Jesus Christ birth...everyday is special for our Messiah... those that Christ in our hearts know the birth was our Miracle..it's ok to have a miracle birth where we celebrate our Messiah..we don't know the exact day but we can celebrate ..may Jesus Christ our Savior be with us all everyday ...Merry Christmas to you and Jesus Christ who is the one and only
PART 3 -
Most people have heard the story about how the ancient Germanic people brought evergreen trees into their houses around Winter Solstice (Germanic ‘Yule’) and typically hung them upside down from rafters. It leaves us with images of a Viking long house bedecked with several trees hanging from the rafters while those gathered inside made merry with fire, feasting and mead.
Except that never happened. There is no historical evidence from any of the eddas or sagas or any writings, that offer a shred of historical evidence to support the idea that pagan Germanic peoples brought evergreen trees into their homes at Yule or had a concept of a yule log or something similar.
Yule Logs do not go back to paganism, despite the name. Yule is also an English word to mean "mid-winter period." The first mention of yule logs is in Robert Herrick’s, "Hesperides” a poetry collection, and he calls it a Christmas log. It wasn't called a yule log until Aubrey's work “In the West-Riding of Yorkshire on Christmas Eve” which dates to 1686. So, the Yule Log is really a more recent concept and has zero connections back to some pagan antecedent.
Many people associate mistletoe, ivy and holly with the ancient Celts as all three plants were held as sacred in Druidism. Thus, they opine, their inclusion in Christmas is pagan and this is proffered as just one more reason not to celebrate Christmas due to its pagan origins.
Again, historical similarity does not equate to historical sameness. The first mention of mistletoe in connection with Christmas goes back to only the 1600’s. The tradition of kissing under the mistletoe comes even later, the end of the 1700’s. Again, no ties to an ancient pagan past.
The origins of Christmas trees are rooted in present-day Germany and date to the 16th century. The first mention of Christmas trees is in an Alsace ordinance in 1561. Almost no early Germanic pagans thought pine trees were sacred, let alone associated with Christmas. Germanic tribes believed the oak was sacred, not the evergreen tree.
The Christmas tree morphed over from so-called paradise trees. There were many allegorical-type plays done in the Middle Ages at various markets. One such play was called the Paradise Play, performed to celebrate the feast day of Adam and Eve, which fell on Christmas Eve. In the dead of winter, not a lot of trees are available, so the “tree of knowledge” was represented by an evergreen fir with apples tied to its branches. There is documentation of trees decorated with wool thread, straw, apples, nuts and pretzels. After the play, the treats would be eaten. The practice likely gave way to having trees in the house at Christmas. In 1419 for example, a guild in Freiburg put up a tree decorated with apples, flour-paste wafers, tinsel and gingerbread. These eventually gave way to modern ornaments. The Christmas tree is not historically attested any earlier than this time period.
Candles on trees date to the late 1400’s and have zero connection to paganism - same with ornaments and tinsel.
It is often claimed that Óðinn/Odin was believed by the Norse to bring presents for children at Jól/Yule, but no one seems to be able to cite a single source of historical evidence to support this claim. The reason being is that there is none.
Óðinn is primarily associated with Jól through his epithet Jólnir, which means “the Yuler” or “the One Who Yules.” This epithet is attested in the very old skaldic poem Háleygjatal, composed in the late tenth century CE by the skaldic poet Eyvindr Skáldaspillir.
There are over eighty different names for Óðinn attested in the surviving Old Norse sources and Jólnir is merely one of these many names. Additionally, although the epithet Jólnir certainly indicates that Óðinn was associated with the holiday of Jól in some way, it does not explain the nature of this association. It certainly does not even remotely suggest in any way that any Norse person during the Middle Ages ever thought that Óðinn might have brought people presents at Jól.
Many Old Norse sources, including the Saga of Hákon the Good, written by the Icelandic antiquarian Snorri Sturluson (lived 1179 - 1241), suggest that Jól was a time when people drank toasts to various deities. Many historians speculate that Óðinn may have simply been the main deity to whom people drank toasts at Jól and that this may be the reason for his association with the holiday.
This bit of misinformation seems to have originated as a backformation based on the pre-existing assumption that Santa Claus has been influenced by Óðinn. Since Santa Claus is said to bring presents to children at Christmas today and people already assumed Santa has been influenced by Óðinn, they seem to have concluded that Óðinn must have brought presents in midwinter as well, despite there being zero historical evidence attesting this.
In short, there is zero historic evidence that Óðinn ever gave gifts at Jól.
Many people also point to Odin’s horse Sleipnir as the source for Santa’s flying reindeer. This is completely implausible. For one thing, in Norse mythology, Sleipnir was an eight-legged horse, not a reindeer. Furthermore, Odin was imagined riding on Sleipnir’s back, not riding in a sleigh pulled by him.
When we celebrate Christmas (and other holidays as well), we are definitely participating in a tradition with deep historical roots and traditions. But those traditions are firmly situated in the medieval Christian past, not an ancient pagan one.
If you don’t celebrate Christmas, so what it’s your business let other people alone that doesn’t make you any better or any more superior because you don’t celebrate no one cares!!
U don't see it on a spiritual way that's why U speak like this. I don't blame U. We know who Ur King is.
Bro. U have explained well it's pagan n YESHUA nor disciples asked us celebrate. Moreover the bible also told us that God hates paganism. So stop celebrating it n don't corrupt God's word. Everything is pagan don't YESHUA in it. God said no other god is beside me.

These AI-generated videos are incredibly annoying, overly stylized, and inaccurate. Check your descriptions and prompts before publishing. The way you depicted Queen Victoria is so cringe-it looks like you got your history completely wrong. She looks like she’s from the early 16th century!
