Christmas is based on the pagan Roman tradition of "Saturnalia," held in honor of the Roman god Saturn, and was usually held between mid and late December. In the cold months in Israel, shepherds usually don't let their sheep out to pasture, nor would Mary have given birth outdoors in the cold manger.Ĥ. Jesus was probably born in the Fall, not in December. The "Star of Bethlehem" was not a "holy" occurrence, but an astronomical sign used to lead the Magi to Jesus, in order to kill him.ģ.
The "three wise men" were actually psychics/magicians/sorcerers, originally sent by Herod to kill Jesus.
What are some Christmas "traditions" that are totally false?ġ.
