Re: Is Christmas, Jesus Christ supposed birthday, a pagan ritual

When Christianity was sweeping across Europe, it was intent on displacing the pagans who were there first.

The built churches atop pagan temples, and took pagan holy days, in this case "Yule" day, to make their own. December 25th.

Jesus was born in the spring. Most likely April. The evidence the bible gives for this is about the shepards grazing their flocks in the hills outside of town. The only time of the year there is enough rain there for grass to grow up there...is in the spring.

Follow whatever holiday you want. It all belongs to the earth, not the spirit.
