THE CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION IN BABYLONIA

Apostle Dr. Gabriel Sanchez Velazquez and his son Gibbar

James George Frazer in his book The Legacy of Rome, on page 242 says: "It is known that the majority of our relation with the Christmas season and the holidays, the giving of gifts and the feeling of friendship, are no more that an inheritance of the Roman winter festival originating from the SATURNALIA, which comes from paganism." (Saturnalia was the name that the Romans gave to the Tammuz nativity, the 25th of December in Rome.)

Since the days in which Semiramis propagated the idea that her husband Nimrod had transformed into the "sun god", all the idolatrous religions rotated around this heavenly body. The religious beliefs revolved around the sun, the heat, and the fire.

Therefore Baal was a sanguinary god among the Canaanites that was represented by a figure of a man seated with his arms crossed that simulated carrying a baby. It was of bronze and hollow. In the back it was warmed up with firewood that remained fiery red, and halfway through the mass they placed a sacrifice of a recently born baby that was consumed burning in the breast of the statue.

In the book, Man and His Gods, on page 201 it is affirmed: "The winter time was when all the sun gods, from Osiris to Jupiter and Mitras celebrated their birthdays. The celebrations consisted of pine trees for Adonis, Saturn, and others that represented the heat of the new birth of the sun in the form of fire."

Therefore Christmas is a celebration completely Babylonian, deeply rooted in the ancient world (before the birth of Jesus Christ). A celebration that has been maintained for 16 centuries of nominal Christianity since the fourth century until today.

It should be honestly accepted, that the apostate leaders of Christianity in their desire to mix the Gospel with the galloping paganism, did not have second thoughts about reducing their faith until it harmonized with the pagan celebrations, as in this case, until they harmonized the birth of the false gods with that of the Lord Jesus.
