Who tried to make Christmas “Christian”?????

Before Pope Pius XII’s liturgical reform, the celebration of the Mass was forbidden, except on Christmas night.

In the Apostolic Constitution Christus Dominus (1953) and the Motu Propio Sacram Communionem (1957) Pius XII permitted the celebration of Mass at other times.

That’s how “Christmas” got it’s name – Christ Mass.

Keep in mind that Mass is the Catholic celebration of the Eucharistic.

emphasis mine:

The Council of Trent reaffirmed traditional teaching that the Mass is not just a recreation of the Last Supper, or a memorialization of the institution of the Holy Eucharist, but rather the same Sacrifice of Calvary offered in an unbloody manner: "The victim is one and the same: the same now offers through the ministry of priests, who then offered himself on the cross ; only the manner of offering is different. And since in this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and offered in an unbloody manner... this sacrifice is truly propitiatory"
- (Doctrina de ss. Missae sacrificio, c. 2, quoted in Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1367).

Does that sound like it is the “birth” of Christ being celebrated????

So, where did all this celebration of “birth” come from???
Same place – the Catholic Church.

The apostles never celebrated it, so it was not a tradition started by the early church.
In fact, there is no mention of any early church celebrating it until the 4th century.
Constantine kept this “feast of the nativity” to keep the pagan festival. He slapped on the name of Christ, and said, “There, now both Christians and pagans will be happy.”
His intentions may have been noble to unite the people and keep the peace. But I am reminded of a quote:
“The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
Just another step in the plan of anti-christ to unite the world under a religion that will satisfy all. A way to unite, instead of separating as God told us to do.


Yuletide is a pagan sabbat (Sabbath) which occurs at the Winter Solstice.

There are some pagan myths that originate from Christian stories. Such as Noah’s flood.
There are lots of distortions of this story that developed over time in different cultures, but the original story was from God.

But Christmas did not originate this way.
The “feast of the nativity” started long before the birth of Christ happened. It was a festival celebrating the birth (actually reincarnation, of the sun god) and had been celebrated on the Winter Solstice long before Jesus came in the flesh.
It’s origin is not Jewish or Christian. It is strictly pagan.
