We have two holy festivals declared by the Catholic Church.

March 25 - Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

And exactly nine months later ….

December 25 – Christmas (Christ Mass)




Since we know that our Lord and Savior was not born during the winter solstice ……………
Who’s “christ” is Christ-Mass celebrating??????












Jeremiah 10
1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.
8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock (tree) is a doctrine of vanities.


Can you take these pagan practices and turn them into a Christian thing?

Deuteronomy 7
25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.
26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.

Now you may say, “Wait a minute. That’s talking about not taking the gold and silver off a pagan idol and bring it into your house. We don’t take gold and silver from a pagan idol and decorated our tree with it. ”

Fair enough. After all, I’m sure your tree is not decorated with actual gold and silver, but is an imitation of gold and silver.
So, I guess it is OK just to “imitate” a pagan ritual without actually using the substance from an actual idol itself.

Or is it?

Deuteronomy 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God:

Here’s a group of folks that thought it would be cool to worship GOD like the other nations worshipped their gods. After all, some of their worshiping practices were kinda neat!!!
But God said we should not do so.



“Put Christ back in Christmas”
Why? He was never part of pagan idolatry to begin with.
