Christmas
|
Christmas is pagan holiday which is a celebration of the winter solstice according to the Julian calendar. Pre-Christians and other pagans celebrated this time as when the sun died.
"The Druids had a great number of feast days. The new and full moon and the sixth day of the moon were sacred periods. It is believed that initiations took place only at the two solstices and the two equinoxes. At dawn of the 25th day of December, the birth of the Sun God was celebrated." - The Secret Teachings of All Ages By Manly P. Hall pg. 47
"still preserve in our folk customs the Christmas evergreens of the Teutonic worshipers and the holly and mistletoe of the Druids, just as we preserve the naturist fertility symbols of the rabbit and the gaily colored egg at Easter time." Dungeon, Fire , & Sword by John J. Robinson Pg.48
"They helped in the transition into Christianity of the very ancient celebrations occasioned by weather and the phases of agriculture, which could not be totally stamped out by the Church and so were finally taken over as Christian festivals. The winter solstice festival, celebrating the victory of the sun over the powers of darkness (as the days grew longer), was celebrated as Christmas; the vernal equinox was covered by Easter; the summer solstice became the feast of Corpus Christi; and the fall harvest festivals were celebrated as All Saints' Day. As far back as the seventh century the church had begun to bend, trying to pry the people loose from their old natural religion."- Born in Blood: The Lost Secrets of Freemasonry by John J. Robinson Pg.194
"On December 22nd, the Sun going south reaches its lowest point in the sky. Our winter solstice. At that lowest point the Sun stops moving on the sun dial for three days. Dec 22nd, Dec 23rd, and Dec 24th in the southern constellation known as the Southern Cross. Hence our savior, dead for three days died on the cross and rises again."- That Old-Time Religion By Jordan Maxwell pg. 41
“Plutarch tells us that Isis was delivered of Horus, the child, about the time of the winter Solstice, and that the festival of the second or adult Horus followed the Vernal Equinox.” - That Old Time Religion 2003, by Jordan Maxwell pg. 9
Romans celebration of the holiday Saturnalia which was to the Italic god, Saturn, and the rebirth of the sun god. It was a week long period of lawlessness celebrated which was between December 17-25. Roman courts were closed, and Roman law dictated that no one could be punished for damaging property or injuring people during the week long celebration. The festival began when Roman authorities chose “an enemy of the Roman people” to represent the “Lord of Misrule.” Each Roman community selected a victim whom they forced to indulge in food and other physical pleasures throughout the week. At the festival’s conclusion, December 25th, Roman authorities believed they were destroying the forces of darkness by brutally murdering this innocent man or woman.
"Mass" is one of the names by which the sacrament of the Eucharist is commonly called in the Roman Catholic Church. Christmas itself came from the Roman Catholic Church. One of the tactics of the Roman Catholic Church was to absorbed the customs, traditions and general paganism of every tribe, culture and nation in their efforts to easily convert more people.
The term "Yule" is the Chaldee (Babylonian) name for "infant" or "little child." Christmas was held in honor of the birth of the Babylonian Messiah.
"YULE Comes from the same root as wheel. At Yule (the Winter Solstice, Christmas) the zodiac has rotated a full turn, like a wheel. The Roman title or name "Julius" comes from this. Julius Caesar for instance, was crowned at the winter solstice, under the god Jupiter. Caesar was infatuated with the Venus/Maia, which he considered his patron goddess."

"The temple of the gods who rule the earth is said to be at the North Pole, which also, by the way, is the home of Santa Claus, because the North Pole represents the positive end of the spinal column of the planetary lord. Santa Claus, coming down the chimney with his sprig of evergreen (the Christmas tree) at the season of the year when nature is dead, has a fine Masonic interpretation for those who wish to study it." - Anatomy of Man Manly P. Hall pg. 7
"As the legend of CHiram Abiff is based upon the ancient Egyptian Mystery ritual of the murder and resurrection of Osiris, it is natural that the sprig of acacia should be preserved as symbolic of the resurrection of CHiram. The chest containing the body of Osiris was washed ashore near Byblos and lodged in the roots of a tamarisk, or acacia, which, growing into a mighty tree, enclosed within its trunk the body of the murdered god. This is undoubtedly the origin of the story that a sprig of acacia marks the grave of CHiram. The mystery of the evergreen marking the grave of the dead sun god is also perpetuated in the Christmas tree."-The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P. Hall
"Saturn, the old man who lives at the north pole, and brings with him to the children of men a sprig of evergreen (the Christmas tree), is familiar to the little folks under the name of Santa Claus, for he brings each winter the gift of a new year."-The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P. Hall pg. 77-81
"Father Christmas, Santa Claus, or Saint Nicholas, is a mythical representation of the end of the yearly cycle. The Baby New Year is the birth, or rebirth,of the Solar King at the Winter Solstice which signals the return of the light.Mithras, who developed from the much older Indian deity Mithra, was born on December 25. Placing the symbolic birth of Christ on this day overlays a Christian holiday on an ancient myth, claiming the inherent power of the cycle, and retaining the potency of ancient belief." ATLANTIS RISING Number 32
"...the branch of acacia a symbol of immortality much older than Christianity. To ancient peoples, the weather and the reactions of crops were the determinate of life and death of good living or near starvation during the year ahead....
...In some areas, an evergreen tree was cut down in order to bring the good spirit into the house, where' the branches were draped with gifts, a tradition of the old natural religion which we still preserve at Christmas time. Thus the evergreen became a symbol of immortality, and one of those evergreens was the acacia...
...The acacia was also the host of a special breed of mistletoe with a flame-red flower; Not only was that mistletoe-which not only stayed green, but actually bore its fruit in the winter-a strong symbol of immortality in itself, but many believe that the acacia, covered, with a blanket of fiery mistletoe blossoms, was the "burning bush" of the Old Testament. In addition, the Egyptian acacia bears a red and white flower, a reminder of the Templar colors, based upon a,white mantle with red cross."- Born in Blood: The Lost Secrets of Freemasonry by John J. Robinson Pg. 270-271
The evergreen tree was a symbol of the essence of life and was regarded as a phallic symbol in fertility worship. The tree, that's decorated in Russian actually, in New Year, is called "ЕЛЬ", or EL.
1 Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
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. Jeremiah 10:1-4 King James Version
Jeremiah 10:1-4 is refereeing to an Asherah pole, a phallic symbol, many think it is the origin of the Christamas tree. It was a sacred tree or pole to honor the pagan goddess Asherah, also known as Astarte.
"It is a clairvoyant fact that the spirit not only leaves but also enters the body through the crown of the head, probably giving rise to the story of Santa Claus and his chimney." - Anatomy of Man Manly P. Hall pg. 8
"Capricorn was always associated with darkness and the underworld and its ruler, Saturn, is the familiar Santa Claus who comes down from his world of 319 winter to spread the joys of the new year. The Christmas tree represents fertility and the toys which were originally fruit are the promise of the harvest and the general regeneration of the world. It is very interesting to reconstruct the appearance of the constellations as they were on the night of the 25th of December two thousand years age. The sun is at the nadir and Cancer, the symbol of the manger in which Jupiter was born, is in midheaven as is also the constellation of the Ass upon which Bacchus rode victoriously. On the eastern horizon rises the Virgin with the bright Star of Bethlehem, Spica—the same star for which Hercules labored so arduously in his task of securing the Girdle of the Amazon. On the western horizon is the ram of Aries, which is in opposition to the Dragon beneath the feet of the Virgin. The three brilliant stars in the sword belt of Orion and which are still known in Arabia as the three Wise Men are close to the Ram, the Lamb of God which they have come to worship, and they will soon ascend in their quest of the divine child." -“The All-Seeing Eye”, volume 5.
