Am I the only one who's found that a lot of Protestants who are against the Apostolic churches because they see them as some man-made institution, are really just anti-White racists? They act as though European Paganism is entirely the work of the devil, and that the Christianisation of Pagan holidays (Samhain, Yule, etc.) and customs was an evil thing that needs to be reversed.
I don't know, it just screams to me as hating our White European ancestors, pretty gay really.
Saturnalia started in like 500 BC on Dec 17th, and eventually would turn into a full week of celebrations...
Christians celebrated the Nativity of Jesus on December 25th from the 1st century on, so this date was estaished at the time of Jesus or during the Apostolic days...
In fact SO many Roman citizens would be be celebrating Christmas on the 25th, the Emperor came up with a pagan celebration to COUNTER the celebration of Christmas that they called Sol Imvictus, the feast of the Imprtal Sun.
So in fact Pagan Rome creates a holiday on Dec 25th AFTER early Christians start celebrating Christmas on that date. Also note that oncr Christianity is adopted in the Empire, Sol Invictus goes away totally....
