Christmas

During the years between 337 and 352 AD Pope Julius 1 decided to celebrate Christ's mass around the Winter Solstice.

The winter Solstice was celebrated in Scandinavia by burning a Yule log. The fire represented the light of the Sun on the darkest day of the year.

Pope Julius changed the light of the Sun to the light of Jesus (Gods son).

The Yule log marked the Sun’s rebirth.

Pope Julius set the birth of Jesus on December 25th.

Celebrating the Yule means no work as long as the special log burns (10 to 14 days).

The Catholics changed that to the Twelve Days of Christmas.

Yule requires gathering family, friends and neighbors for songs, stories, dances, romances, feasts and fun.

And that's how Christmas began.

Christmas Tree

The first records of the fir or pine tree's association with Christianity occurred in Germany during 600 AD. A Christian priest used the triangular shape of this tree to describe the Christianity of father, son and Holy Ghost to his children.

The converted Christians then regarded this tree as a symbol of their new faith.

The first decorated tree occurred in the year 1510 at Riga, Latvia.

Easter

Easter is another Pagan ceremony that Christians adopted as their own.

Easter existed long before Christianity as a festival of spring and fertility. It is the day of the first full moon after the vernal equinox. The hare (now the rabbit) and the egg appeared as symbols of fertility in the original celebrations and continue today despite their pagan heritage.

You might find it strange that we celebrate Christ's resurrection with rabbits and eggs. Because new life emerges from eggs, they have long been a symbol of the rebirth of nature in spring after its winter-long death. The Persians, Greeks, and Romans interwove this symbol into their spring-time celebrations.

“The Catholics created Christmas 337 years After Death.”
