The Origin of Christmas Celebration

Many people question the legitimacy of celebrating Christmas, especially given the view that December 25th is actually a pagan festival. In fact, this claim is largely correct; although it is agreed that Jesus -peace be upon him- was indeed born as described in the scriptures, it is highly unlikely that he was born specifically on December 25th.

Historically, this time was associated with the "winter solstice," the shortest day of the year. Pagans at the time had what was called the "Saturnalia" (Saturnalia) celebrations, a time characterized by extreme chaos where laws were suspended, and people gathered in noisy parties and singing groups lacking moral discipline, making it akin to a random collective celebration.

Attempt to "Christianize" Pagan Rituals

When the Catholic Church began to emerge and spread in Italy, it faced the Romans' and others' attachment to their old festivals and their refusal to abandon them. To solve this dilemma, the Church turned to what can be called "Christianizing" those festivals; they decided to declare December 25th as the day of Jesus' birth to align with the time of their usual celebrations.

Based on this, we find that many of the current symbols associated with the holiday -such as the mistletoe plant, Christmas trees, and gift exchanges- are, in origin, ancient pagan rituals. Each part of these elements was taken and given a Christian tint. While some see this as an opportunity to celebrate and be emotionally affected, the historical fact remains that the roots of these practices go back to pagan origins.

Pat Robertson, one of the most famous Christian clergymen in America, confirms that Christmas is originally a pagan holiday that was called (Saturnalia), in which laws were suspended in the Roman state and singers roamed the streets naked singing, and group sex parties were held. So when Christianity appeared in Italy, people did not want to give up this holiday, so they said: "Well, we will say that the birth of Christ was on this date." Pat Robertson says after that: "So all these rituals are pagan. The Christmas tree: pagan.. Exchanging gifts: pagan.. Every part of Christmas is pagan, we turned it into Christian rituals. And this is good, to have a time when we celebrate Christ.. But the truth is that they are all pagan rituals"

Did you know, you who insist on congratulating others on Christmas?! Its origin is a pagan holiday, everything in it is pagan, and immoralities were practiced in it collectively. Who insists after that and says: "What's in it? O brother, it's not reasonable not to congratulate my colleague, O brother, don't make it narrow, Islam is not like that"!! Whoever says something like this, our problem with him is the complete difference in understanding the pride of Islam and the value of being a Muslim, even in understanding the meaning of chivalry and self-dignity! And Allah is the one whose help is sought. _____________________________________ Personal page on Facebook
