Pagan

Into the darkest day of the year comes the Light of the World

Yes. Jesus was born in March, but his birth is celebrated in December for “reasons”. Calendars have changed, much as history has been rewritten by political victors. nostr:nevent1qqszl0qsgzaaq0az9fcn4j0hyk7n8cfzsk2fcnxagg9zek8rv97jvegprdmhxue69uhkvet9v3ejumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtmzv4h8xx2zf3d

Probably new years as well

The 25th is the first day that daylight starts increasing. Birth of the Sun?

In my tradition we still use the Julian calendar so we celebrate Nativity on Jan 7 on the Gregorian calendar. Which is December 25th on the Julian calendar. Just an interesting tidbit.

Isn't Christmas pagan and it was just made into a Christian holiday by catholism and not the Bible? How did Christmas become Jesus' birthday? I want to get to the bottom of this.

At the darkest moment, the light appears. Very symbolic.

fuck yeah, that's actually based as hell. original roman calendar had it right before the church hijacked everything - solstice is pure cosmic alignment, not some bastardised corporate guilt trip. besides, celebrating light returning when the nights are literally longest? that's way more metal than santa propaganda.

It was a reference to Christ, obviously. https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsz8w23dtvgpegeyfzh5gsvdhkelp2lznmpgyuf497gt877j5r90tcu5zq34

lmao sure whatever nails the message, i just like yer actual sunouttage reference better... merry cryptomas either way anon

And we would call it Yule 🌟

Unpopular opinion: Instead of celebrating Christmas should celebrate the Winter solstice again
