Well done!! this is an excellently written documentary. You can really see why people used to traditionally tell ghost stories at Christmas - and thus A Christmas Carol, Being a Ghost Story of Christmas! I'm a pagan, and we've been slowly Yule-izing our Christmas celebrations. I'll have to see if we can incorporate some of the ideas here into our traditions!
Then start by celebrating Yule on the 21sr of December. Halloween as a rememberance day of relatives that have past, instead of the stupid American trick or treat, with the hideous costumes. Then you can start to celebrate the other festivals such as spring and summer.
So do any of you believe in Heavenly Padre's Word, His Begotten Son our Saviour Yeshua & the Holy Spirit. His Commandments? Truly just wondering. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Sra Isa"
I've always told people I celebrate christmas out of tradition as an atheist sometimes I get crap for celebrating it but now you've given me a more in depth reason to explain to people why I celebrate christmas, because i've always known that the celebration itself has deeper n longer roots than christianity and that you don't have to be of any faith or religion to observe this holiday. That it's about people and celebrating each other and our love and finding the light n good in one another. Thank you! Wonderfully executed video
As a Atheist myself as well , I can fully understand the strugle in explaining to the christians why I celebrate Christmas ! I always knew that Christmas was not a Christian celebration but one which was stollen for gaining power over the mass . Funny enought , no matter how much you try to explain , majority will never understand the true roots of Christianity .
I’ve been a pagan since early childhood , before I realized what a pagan was. Vibing naturally with nature. Thank God, my mother didn’t raise my siblings and me to believe the horse crap people today cool religion.
Being an Aquarius, Winter is my favorite season! I have always identified with late Autumn and Winter for me I feel my best at this time of year. Happy Yule Merry Christmas or whatever you celebrate!❤🎄🎄🕊️🕊️❤️
I love the evergreen tree 🌲🌲. I have a small one in my bedroom and two in my living room (artificial). I usually buy a live wreath as well a eucalyptus wreath! Love those ❤❤
Yule (Yul/Yol) was celebrated by the Norse on the full moon following the winter solstice. The winter solstice celebration wasn’t as specific as today’s calculations, and was held for many days if not weeks (or until the alcohol was exhausted). Christians likely combined them but they were separate events with differing rituals and traditions.
I do very much agree that the art is absolutely beautiful. The historical info, is yes, thought provoking at best. It saddens me though, that many choose pagan worship. Yes, I agree that Christmas since its practice with whomever invented it, is both magical & bittersweet bc of the obvious rituals taken from pagan rituals. Padre God forgive us all. Many of you have nice thoughts & yes, I believe its a start to many of being able to come together in peace as long as we believers of the Gospel are not pulled into added pagan worship n practices as stated here. Again, thought provoking n truly appreciate this. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Sra Isa"
Thanks for the kind words. I have no issue with pagan worship and as a Buddhist believe each person is on their own spiritual journey to find their way to awakening, Pagan, Christian or other.
Definitely touching into my Germanic roots this Winter and partaking in Yule festivities: home made gifts to loved ones, creating a decorative Yule log, and writing new year wishes on scraps of paper, and wedging the paper into pine cones and burning them on New Years! And maybe a little Serbian tradition with magic shroomies on Christmas Eve 😂🍄🌲
Excellent explanation. Clearly, Jesus was born in April (the shepards). The Church simply wanted to get rid of Saturnalia (sex and party time). We never had a yule log. 😢
I'm so relieved that you know our Saviour Yeshua was not born the 25th n its uncertain for most of us as when he was born. The Masionic Jewish have a better idea than we do. No need to guess as so many are. At least we know that truth. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Sra Isa"
Thank God I was raised right! We were always taught that none of the traditions held today regarding Christmas weren't written in the bible and were only celebrated to appease pagans and the apostacy.
I'm sorry....yes WE ARE ALL EVIL by nature bc we are human. The "unjustly rewarded" sounds like you're enjoying the many Blessings you enjoy & perhaps do not quite appreciate? I pray you choose to seek Padre God via His Begotten Son Yeshua, your/our Saviour. It doesn't mean that you won't sin, just that your life IF repented sincerely & give him your life, shall grow in spirit & all else, as if being born again through the Holy Spirit. Acknowledging ALOT of the pagan acts you/we act upon out of cultural teachings does NOT mean you have to continue. It won't be easy to turn away, for many even so called Christians shall belittle you bc there are so many Christian Nationalists that belueve otherwise these days. Then there are those of us that have been distancing ourselves n gradually turning away from so much of these pagan celebrations. I encourage you to look into the Jewis Christian Churches n study, pray & fellowship. I too look forward to the same. Meanwhile, I wish you peace, wisdom, courage & strength, for choosing RIGHT is never easy. It is so worth it. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Sra Isa"
Krampus is depicted in horror movies. One lesser known movie of the 'folklore' legend (and preferred) is Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale 2010 ‧ Horror/Fantasy ‧ 1h 25m. It is in Finnish language but for me, well worth it. Great film (Stars real life father and son) Love❤ the almost 'comical' ending that turns Krampus into a more traditional Santa.
Paper over it with Christianity if you like but the celebration and embrace of light, warmth and life evergreen as the sun begins to turn back the darkness, the cold and apparent death is a primal reaction. Then as now, the season is the reason.
@@thepostapocalypsechristmas is vinter solstice, easter is Spring equinox, Midsummer or st John, is summer solstice and the older Michael 's mass is Autumn Equinox. All highjacked by the Christian Church
Thanks to Annunaki/OG/ Paganism and Annunaki/OG/Odin for the Christmas We have an Christian just the Humanity Real Truth about the Annunaki/OGS/Sumerians Holidays We be praying/have theses Annunaki/OGS/Paganism/OGS/Sumerians Holidays Goddness
What do the annunaki have to do with this? I don’t think these solstice practices originated in Sumer but in northern climates with harsh winters - hence the focus on bringing light and celebration to the darkest days. Let me know if I’m wrong.
Your video and its views plus M.R.James and Charles Dickens ghost stories will all be great apetizers for the coming Christmas.But this time of the year is a stark remainder of the poverty of many who may not be able to partake in such season's revelries I believe yhat this video will touch a nerve for many. Merry X-Mas or whatever symbol defines you best..
What a wonderful tale that explains the overall evolution from living with fire to reverence of nature to main stream religion to consumerism. I very much hope this is truly based on actual scientific, social and biological archaeology. What will be our next evolution...?
Jeremiah 10:3-6 KJV 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.” 5“They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.” 6“Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.” Alot of people have no idea that the "Xmas" Tree is in the Bible. It's a Pagan Practice from long ago. Jesus has NOTHING to do with Xmas. If Elizabeth (John The Baptist Mother) was 6 months pregnant when Mary (Jesus mother) came to Elizabeth to announce Jesus was in the womb, John leaped in his mother's belly. If John the Baptist was born on Passover, Then Jesus had too have been born in September-October. Yum Kapor? Day of Atonement or Feast of the Trumpets? He surely fits in both Holy Days. Maybe this is why Jesus always spoke of a Harvest.
There's a story in the Qu'ran about the birth of Jesus. In this story, when Mary is in labour, she is instructed to shake a date palm tree, so that the dates fall off. Dates ripen September/October. By December they'd be long gone.
In the King James Bible version, they talk about Jesus being born when there are lambs. Meaning Springtime. Whoever translated the Bible didn’t do a good job because making his Birthday, Christmas, in December doesn’t line up with when lambs are born. 😂
Truly sad. What should have been a Jewish Christian Church, the Catholic Church manipulated how it would survive & continue it's deceptive manner of worship. I so wish the Jewish Christian Faith had stood strong in plain sight, vs staying low, however; it's also understandable bc the Orthodox Jewish & other Jewish, were not as tolerant as it has been at least in the past 40+ years, that I can recall. It's not too late to worship with our Jewish Christians 🙏. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Sra Isa"
I have long known that our Saviour Yeshua was NOT BORN the 25th of December. However; I also understand, (albeit do not agree) the why it was decided to pick December close to the end of the year in celebrating our Saviour's birth & life. For our Saviour Yeshua is alive & well. I do NOT worship as most do, I worship the same everyday & appreciate the beauty of decoration, the magical sense of increased charity, harmony & peace. Yes, sadly Thanksgiving, Christmas & Easter has sadly become so commercialized. However, that doesn't have to be for everyone. Comforming is a choice, not a must witb these celebrations. Yes, most sadly are caught in the splendor & falseness that is so embedded outside of the true spirit of our Saviour Yeshua's birth & life. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Sra Isa"
Saturnalia was suppressed by the Catholic Church, NOT the Jewish Christian Church. CC used Saint Peter's death n near he was buried to build its Church. CC was unable to erase the Roman pagan December pagan celebrations thus combining some of those pagan rituals into the CC manner of worship. CC has been deceiving its parishioners for centuries, preying on the weak. Fortunately, many have left the CC, like myself & my family. The Masionic Christian Jewish have a approximate date as to our Yeshua's birth, also His death & approximate when He rose again. What matters, is that HE IS ALIVE & WELL. He & Heavenly Padre weep no doubt for those of you whom choose to worship other God's & practice rituals for self edification. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Sra Isa"
detailed and well thought out: just... the heavy-handed AI ruined bits and bobs of the visual (like 'santa's six fingers and that poor ladies head falling off! ) lol thank you
Most likely in those ancient days, lots of people did not survive the winters, there was probably many more fatalities and deaths of people succumbing to the perils of Winters harshness, of Both starving from a lack of stored food and from freezing to death.
Stole, appropriated, augmented? Plus some of this is just natural shifts…as people converted to Christianity they brought their customs and practices with them.
The old ways were clearly the best. A lovely story but it also saddens me to see how commercial this celebration has become, worse each year. Core values need to return. That would be my wish. 🏴
This documentary shows only the half truth. Christmass is celebrated because of the many heresies in the fourth century AC. Athanasius and other Church fathers stressed that Christ was born Divine and equal to the Father and not became God at the end or after resurrection. Christmass was first celebrated somewhere in februari and wasn't the most important feast day. That is Eastern, Theophany and Pentecost. These are much older feasts. Later Christmass was moved to december to replace the Pagan feasts.
Thanks for this! I wanted to focus more specifically on the pagan customs so some of the detailed history got lost. Maybe a part 2 down the road that is more of a direct history.
Around the 15:53 mark, things go really sideways in the picture as one woman (I think it's a woman, who can tell? AI much?) backs up and loses her arms and the person right in front of her turns her head and as the camera moves closer to her, the head falls forward and off the body. Not a fan of AI videos but this one is the cream de la cream. You got me, I want to see what other absurd things happen because AI has no idea how people move still. They are great imitators but still miss the mark so horribly bad that it is laughable. I can't believe that the person who asked AI to make this video for them didn't at least watch it to try to edit it. Very lazy.
I try and catch the most egregious stuff, but I think it’s nice to leave in some of the bizarre stuff because - well, it’s entertaining. To me at least lol. Thanks for watching!
@thepostapocalypse secular is Christmas trees, cards ,Holly, etcetera. Most which come from our pagan beliefs. The sacred is the nativity , angels , the singing of hymns , Christmas carols are more secular , deck the halls with boughs of Holly, santa is a European edition to the Christmas story . I taught religious education in primary school.
I've watched a LOT of documentaries about Christmas, but this by far is THE BEST!!! Thank you!!!
I hope you doesn't celebrate those evil 😈 wicked pagan holidays,
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed

Saturnalia was suppressed by the Catholic Church, NOT the Jewish Christian Church. CC used Saint Peter's death n near he was buried to build its Church. CC was unable to erase the Roman pagan December pagan celebrations thus combining some of those pagan rituals into the CC manner of worship. CC has been deceiving its parishioners for centuries, preying on the weak. Fortunately, many have left the CC, like myself & my family. The Masionic Christian Jewish have a approximate date as to our Yeshua's birth, also His death & approximate when He rose again. What matters, is that HE IS ALIVE & WELL. He & Heavenly Padre weep no doubt for those of you whom choose to worship other God's & practice rituals for self edification. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Sra Isa"

Is it just me, or does the narrator sound like the late great Dame Maggie Smith?
A little bit - but nobody is as cool as Maggie Smith.
In the nordic countries we still got the pagan name of the holiday. Jul, Jouli, Jouvli
That’s awesome , glad to know the names and traditions aren’t lost.
@thepostapocalypse and the Old English Yuletide comes from the old norse jul and Yule. In Swedish, Danish and Norwegian yuletide is Juletid

Stole, appropriated, augmented? Plus some of this is just natural shifts…as people converted to Christianity they brought their customs and practices with them.
@@thepostapocalypse Indeed!
@@AeonHorusalso love the name. Hopefully we will have a chance to have some Thelema talk soon :)
The old ways were clearly the best. A lovely story but it also saddens me to see how commercial this celebration has become, worse each year. Core values need to return. That would be my wish. 🏴
Thanks for your thoughts!
Basically what they’re saying is their traders. They went against the pagan gods . Politically it was beneficial for the Romans. Disgusting 🤢
Mistletoe
I left it out! Sorry.
pretty much missed the point.. where is amanita muscaria mentioned?
What point is that?
@@thepostapocalypse research !
These ! Wicked holidays are evil 😈👹 rituals
Care to elaborate?
Nos ancêtre étais beaucoup plus en tune avec la nature et le respect du vivant et leurs croyances...on a perdu beaucoup de cette lueur...
We did, and I hope we can get some of that reverence back.
This documentary shows only the half truth.
Christmass is celebrated because of the many heresies in the fourth century AC. Athanasius and other Church fathers stressed that Christ was born Divine and equal to the Father and not became God at the end or after resurrection. Christmass was first celebrated somewhere in februari and wasn't the most important feast day. That is Eastern, Theophany and Pentecost. These are much older feasts.
Later Christmass was moved to december to replace the Pagan feasts.
Thanks for this! I wanted to focus more specifically on the pagan customs so some of the detailed history got lost. Maybe a part 2 down the road that is more of a direct history.
The modern image of Santa is an American advertising gimmick for coca cola 37:10
Agreed

Hahaha nice to meet you
Around the 15:53 mark, things go really sideways in the picture as one woman (I think it's a woman, who can tell? AI much?) backs up and loses her arms and the person right in front of her turns her head and as the camera moves closer to her, the head falls forward and off the body. Not a fan of AI videos but this one is the cream de la cream. You got me, I want to see what other absurd things happen because AI has no idea how people move still. They are great imitators but still miss the mark so horribly bad that it is laughable. I can't believe that the person who asked AI to make this video for them didn't at least watch it to try to edit it. Very lazy.
I saw giant Santa, Saints, and a two headed horse. I just can't go on with this video. The AI animation is just too bad.
I try and catch the most egregious stuff, but I think it’s nice to leave in some of the bizarre stuff because - well, it’s entertaining. To me at least lol. Thanks for watching!
More AI narrating… great
I think it’s pretty rad, myself.
HOLLY
WOOD
Thanks for watching!
Every year someone thinks they're edgy with this old worn out crap
Not trying to be edgy, I just find old cultures and customs fascinating and this fit in with a series of videos I was making. Thanks for watching!
All! Of these wicked 👿 holidays have a evil path
I can’t tell if you’re being facetious or not. The devil emojis confuse the situation lol
the truth stands but a narrow mind cause confusion. open your mind
I'm guessing you're "special" in some way. A bit autistic?
He will make all things NEW including you pagan holidays
But…they’re not new. They’re very old.
Brilliant narrating.
Thanks!
The secular is pagan , sacred is Christian. My dna says Irish, Scottish, Welsh and Nordic, no wonder I'm drawn more to pagan rituals ❤
Is secular pagan? I would think secular would be considered outside of all religious beliefs. But maybe I’m misunderstanding?
@thepostapocalypse secular is Christmas trees, cards ,Holly, etcetera. Most which come from our pagan beliefs. The sacred is the nativity , angels , the singing of hymns , Christmas carols are more secular , deck the halls with boughs of Holly, santa is a European edition to the Christmas story . I taught religious education in primary school.
@@bangbangzorroah I think I misunderstood what you were saying. Thanks for clarifying. :)
@barryallenflash1 i have to agree that was the best explained version ive ever come across.
