This is a very nice article on Christmas and Easter.
It even says that the truth is for one who accepts it, if they ant they can, and even if they do, stop forcing others to.

Celebrates the Incarnation of the Creator of the World, because God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son so that whomever believeth in Him shall have eternal life
Celebrates the solstice of winter related to the cult of the Sun as a deity.
These two are exactly the same. winnie the pooh christcucks.

You baboon.
Around 200 C.E. Tertullian of Carthage reported the calculation that the 14th of Nisan (the day of the crucifixion according to the Gospel of John) in the year Jesus diedc was equivalent to March 25 in the Roman (solar) calendar.
March 25 is, of course, nine months before December 25; it was later recognized as the Feast of the Annunciation—the commemoration of Jesus’ conception.
Thus, Jesus was believed to have been conceived and crucified on the same day of the year. Exactly nine months later, Jesus was born, on December 25.
This idea appears in an anonymous Christian treatise titled On Solstices and Equinoxes, which appears to come from fourth-century North Africa.
The treatise states: “Therefore our Lord was conceived on the eighth of the kalends of April in the month of March [March 25], which is the day of the passion of the Lord and of his conception. For on that day he was conceived on the same he suffered.”
Based on this, the treatise dates Jesus’ birth to the winter solstice.
Augustine, too, was familiar with this association. In On the Trinity (c. 399–419) he writes:
“For he [Jesus] is believed to have been conceived on the 25th of March, upon which day also he suffered; so the womb of the Virgin, in which he was conceived, where no one of mortals was begotten, corresponds to the new grave in which he was buried, wherein was never man laid, neither before him nor since.
But he was born, according to tradition, upon December the 25th.”
Idiot.

Why are fagans so pathetic?

Read it, fool. December 25th was of no significance to roman pagans until 274 AD.
Jeremiah Lee
And so what? What does it prove?
Colton Wilson
So does this mean that celebrating the birth of Christ is a pagan thing?
Noah Ramirez
Why do we have to rebuke the same bullshit every year?
Every retard attributes that guy with changing christianity from whatever meme version of pure christianity he believes in
Explained here:
Also, it's extrapolated from the Christians celebrated the Epiphany only(Armenians still do),
In every country in Europe, it's either Passover or something related to Christ.
The planet doesn't revolve around the anglos, as much as they'd like.
The only reason the Oster theory is even a thing, is because an ancient monk from England wrote an off-hand remark, that he heard some peasants saying the name MIGHT come from an old goddess.
David Scott
Which pagan festivals were on December 25th?
And there's no record of this goddess prior to Bede, the monk, saying that theory.

Holidays are strange fire so it's a sin to observe them.
Jonathan Myers
Latin was the language of the Catholic Church until V2, and it's Pascha in Latin. It's only Easter in English.
Nicholas Miller
Pascha is ultimately of Semitic origin.
From Latin pascha, from Ancient Greek πάσχα (páskha, “Passover”), from Aramaic פסחא (paskha), from Hebrew פסח (pesakh).
Owen Foster
It means it was a Roman Christian holy day long before.myou have the reading comprehension of a kindergartener. Not surprising, since you're a neopagan.
Lincoln Morales
So we are on the same page dude.
I misread you I though you were justifying the pagan shit.
William Walker
Same hat!
