The Origins of Santa Claus & Christmas

Saturnalia – the Roman winter solstice orgy Masters and slaves switch roles Saturnalia was the Roman mid-winter festival. It became hugely popular and extended beyond its original single day at the middle of winter, the drinking and debauchery started on the shortest day and continued through the longest night.

    I don’t know if we should or shouldn’t. I take advantage of an opportunity to worship the birth of our savior however it’s interesting to learn how much it’s taken to get followers of Christ to become so numb. I don’t know what to do, this knowledge however is something we shouldn’t ignore.

    Yeah, I can really take THIS seriously, with that picture of Ackbar at the end. Way to loose any credibility you MIGHT have had.

    Im getting real tired, of people saying that Christ wasn’t born in December. Who really friggin’ cares? So, now my kids shouldn’t participate in Halloween, OR Christmas. Nice. Damn buzz kills.

    It’s a fairy tale. And my kids don’t pray to Santa.

    Wow ! A very informative video about Christmas and its origin!

    hahaha. This is NOT a fairy tale.
    Ask me real insightful questions and a wish for knowledge and I will answer, or don’t.
    Your choice.

    why should i?

    i don’t care about the tooth fairy or the Easter bunny, is why should i care to learn about other fairy tales like the bible?

    any social historical source that was there when when jebus died and not a year or two afterward and had proof the he risen from the dead…and no one has that and first generations don’t count.

    the guy could be talking about a man named JESUS, in that case, i saw jesus last week!

    i want proof of the son of god named Jesus.

    This stuff is in our veins. How do we break free? Of course I am saved however how do I break free from all this that courses in our culture. I tell you, learning these things and changing our life because of them will bring on the persecution that Jesus spoke about but rarely do any of us experience.

    I see you’re not really concerned about learning the truth about Christ. Explain to me what historical source outside the bible would you expect to know to record stuff about Christ before he died during a 3 year ministry? That contention is so lame because why would anyone other than his followers decide to write about him, but tacitus is someone within the firsty generation of Christ that talks about him.

  14. FREEAMERICANOW69 December 19, 2009 at 3:20 pm #

    tactitus wasn’t there when so-called jebus died on the cross.

    so try again.

    People do not know the above info which is very sad because its the truth.
    Have a Merry Christmas everyone xx :-)

    Ayios Vasilis Nicolas, he was Greek as Turkey was and performed Miracles and helped the poor.
    He died on the 6th December and allot of people still visit his tomb today.
    Greek Bishops and Priests still also preach there today, people come in there thousands to listen. The whole world wanted a piece of the Greek Orthodox Christian celebration but also wanted to make money out of it, hence presents from Santa = came from the God Saturn who the Romans made up, English = Clause.

    99,9% of Christendom is pagan. You’re not educating anyone here.
    The 0,01% is the Truth. Bible Believing God Fearing True Christianity, which is NOT a religion, becuase it’s based on FAITH ONLY, unlike ALL religion, almost ALL philosophies and ideologies, and almost all “ism”-ending words that requires WORKS to achieve their so-called “Salvation” or “Illumination” or whatever…
    Don’t mix both fool.

    Paganism is the truth. Look up Christians are Pagan video in search engine. Blessed be.

    Whaaaat? If they worship God or Jesus, that’s what they do. If they worship Mary or the saints, that’s another thing.

  20. fizzy786dar December 19, 2009 at 3:20 pm #

    Christians don’t worship God or even Jesus for that fact, they worship satan and they don’t even know it lol…..

    You find it funny that millions of children are being deceived by Satan? With a username such as Darkheart, I can’t say I’m surprised.

    un-biblical*

  25. Islandretreat December 19, 2009 at 3:20 pm #

    Christmas is an un-biblican Papist feast. Popery is an after-growth of Paganism spreading its popish theology under a Christian mask. That said, it does no harm to remind people what this time of the year is supposed to be about.
