True Origin of Christmas
There is nothing hidden that shall be revealed, and whatever is secret shall be known (Luke 8:17).
Where did Christmas originated?
What is the origin of Santa Claus, Mistletoe, holly wreaths, or Gift exchange?
Tradition has Christmas as the birthday of Christ. Yes, it is Christ's birthday; however, most people assumed Christmas to be the birthday of Hebrew Messiah as well. Thus, many assumed Christ is the same as Messiah. First, let me clarify this: Christ does not mean Messiah as many were made to believe. However, Christ is the same as Krst, Greek Khristos, Roman Christus. The original meaning of Christ is "anointed Sun" or "Heliodromus" meaning "courier or messenger of Sol - the Sun Divinity." In the ancient Roman perceptive, Christ represents "the mediator between Sun divinity and humankind." It oftentimes was represented as Helios. See Sun anointing / Halo.
Meanwhile, Messiah or MessiYah means "the Anointed Messenger from YHWH," translated into Roman as Messias, Greek Mossia, Jewish Mashiach. The Messiah was never called Christ, either did His follower called Christians. His followers were and presently called 'followers or students of Yahushua,' Hebrew Talmid תַּלְמִיד of Yahushua.
It will be displeasing to Almighty YAHUWEH to call Yahushua His Son by the title 'Christ' (a designated title for Sun divinity).
And the one responsible for substituting 'Messiah' to 'Christos' is Emperor Constantine and his protege- Bishop Eusebius, who chose to use the term 'Christ' instead of Roman 'Messias' during the translation of the Hebrew Scripture to create Constantine's Bible 325-335 CE (Bible canon). This occurred in the period the emperor merged the Roman Christianity and other major religions with the Hebrew Messianic belief to unite the entire Roman empire under one deity "Sol" etymological equivalence of Deus/ Zeus/ God / Theo.
Birthday
Birthday is not part of Hebrew culture. YAHUWEH the Deity of the Hebrew, governs His own people through His commands or Torah, which means "instruction or direction to righteous path." HE had never commanded His people to celebrate birthdays, either did any of the righteous people, from Adam to Yahushua the Messiah celebrated birthday. YAHUWEH gave His people feasts they are to observe, and birthday is not one of them Deut 16:1-17. The Almighty warned His people not to learn the culture of the nations (Gentiles) around them, because they are not pleasing to Him. If you examine the origin of the culture and feasts of this world, they are somehow connected to Pagan deities YeremeYahu 10:1-10/ Deut 12:29. For this reason, the Almighty said in His Contract {the Ten Commandments} with His people, "I AM YAHUWEH, who brought you out of the land of slavery (sin), do not have other deities against My face."
When YAHUWEH created the people of the earth, we came with a manual. And that manual is His commands HE gave to Adam. Later, was ascribed in the Torah or Scripture of Instruction. His commands are meant to guide anyone willing to follow His direction, in order to find the path which leads to life everlasting Exodus 19:3-6/Yahuchanan 8:31. Moreover, the Scripture instructional manual expresses YAHUWEH's Will or desires Matt 7:21-27; of which anyone willing to know about life under His rule-ship may obtain and live by it.
Birthday originated from Egypt 3000 BCE. It began with the celebration of the birth of the Sun deity "Amen-Ra,"
and Pharaoh's birth date, which are essential for casting of horoscope and astrology. Over the years, common
people in Egyptian began celebrating their own birth as well. Usually, birthday cake is round shape with candle
all around it, which represents the Sun deity.
In the ancient time, Egypt was the greatest nation in the world and the major world influence, of which every
nations in the world look up to, like America today. And it's also the number one tourist nation in the world. Its
greatest attraction was the Pyramid of Gaza. Egyptian cultures and religion were adopted by many nations,
such including the worship of the Sun and the celebration of the birthday of the Sun: we know today as
Christmas.
No Christmas in the Scripture
Christmas is never mentioned anywhere in the Scripture, neither did Yahushua the Savior, nor His follower ever celebrated Christmas. In fact, Hebrews does not celebrate birthday. From Noah to the Messiah, from Genesis to Revelation, none of the righteous people celebrated their birthday, although people in the nations around them did. Twice birthday was mentioned in the Scripture, and that was Pharaoh's birthday Genesis 40:20 and Herod's birthday MatthYahu 14:6. And those two were sinful kings.
The Hebrew Messiah was not born any period near the winter time. The scripture did not tell us specifically when He was born. Nevertheless, Luke 2 indicated that His birth might have been around the 7th New-Moon (August), not in the winter, because the shepherd described in the Epistle would not have been outside watching over their flock in the winter night.
The true origin of Christmas
The term "Christmas" came from Christ's Mass, meaning, Mithraic-Mass which commemorates the birthday of Mithra Christ of the Sun. Mithra is the true Christ, the anointed of the unconquered Sun. Mithra was born on 25th of December 600 BCE; the original founder of Roman Christianity. Christmas or Mithra's Mass was initially an exclusive festival commemorated only by the members of the Mithraic order. However, in 325 CE, emperor Constantine made Christmas a universal festival. In ancient Rome, Christmas was also celebrated as the birthday of the unconquered Sol/Sun (Natali Invictus Sol).
Saturnalia
In Rome, around 217 BCE, there was also another festival similar to Christmas called Saturnalia (celebrated from 17th to the 24th of December). It is a time of great jealousy in the sight of the Jealous El.
Saturnalia is the feast of Saturn, the father of Jupiter, Greek Zeus. Saturn is the deity of vegetation and harvest. He was highly regarded by the Roman people that the 7th day of the week was dedicated in the honor of his name as 'Dies-Saturn' or Saturn's day, we know today as Saturday.
Saturnalia was the biggest festival in the Roman Empire. It is a week long period of lawlessness, and reversal of social roles. During this period, Roman courts were closed, and law permits a week long of lawlessness without punishment. It was a time of widespread intoxication, sexual license, and people went street to street dancing naked. Slaves were allowed to switch places with their masters. Homes are decorated in greenery and lights. The 25th of December concluded the festival, as the birthday of the unconquered Sun deity, a sacred day of family communion. Because of its dark origin, Christmas was once banned in Boston Massachusetts for 22 years in 1800s.
During the reign of Emperor Constantine, Saturnalia was abolished and replaced with "Dies Natalis Solis Invicti Mithra (The birthday of the unconquered Sun - Christ Mithra). In 325 CE, emperor Constantine also reformed the old exclusive Christic-Mithraism to a new "Universal Roman Church." Mithra's birthday once a seclusive celebration, was made a public festival we called today Christmas.
Christmas Tree
YeremeYahu 10:1-4, the Almighty YAHUWEH warned His people against Christmas tree and said
"Hear you the Word of YAHUWEH speaks to you, O house of Yisra'El. Thus said YAHUWEH, "Do not learn
the way of the nations, and do not be awed by the signs of heavens, for the nations are awed by them.
For the customs of these people are worthless, for one cuts a tree from the forest, work of the hands
of the craftsman with a cutting tool. They beautify it with silver and gold, they strengthen it with nails
and hammers so that it does not topple."
Christmas story Christmas abolished Santa = Satan Christmas Solstice
It is okay for the nations to celebrate birthdays and Christmas, because it is part of the culture of this world. However, anyone who freely draw near to follow the ways of YAHUWEH, must set himself apart to follow the Mouth of YAHUWEH, for YAHUWEH is set-apart. Do not add to the Torah (manual of eternal life) of El, and do not remove from it Deut 4:1-2.
The Scripture testify that we were conceived in sin Psalm 51:5. Hence, celebration of our sinful arrival on earth (birthday) is a sin. Nevertheless, when a person repent and are saved, the heavens celebrates his new birthday (born-again) Luke 15:7.
To us, (21st - 25th) is a day of fasting and mourning, and shall be required of those enticed Yezeki'El 9:3-11. As it was in the days of Noah, the people were merry-making, exchanging gifts, and having fun when the heavens-quaked and came down, so shall it be again
1 Peter 3:9-12.
Yahushua the Messiah said to His talmid (students or followers), "If anyone loves Me, he shall guard My Word. And My Father shall love him, and We shall come to him and make Our stay with him. He who does not love Me, does not guard My Words. And the Word which you hear is not Mine but of the Father Who sent Me" Book of Yahuchanan (Yh).
