>>111931979>Still believing the "Xmas is pagan" meme.That shit is basically paper thin. Like, yes, technically there are pre Christian holidays around the same time of year as Xmas, but their connection to Xmas is far more theoretical.
And before you sperg out about Jesus not being born in December, imma stop you. Luke 1:8-11 has Zechariah offering incense in the temple on Yom Kippur, which usually occurs in October
It's also the date of John the Baptist's conception. John the Baptist was 6 months older than Jesus, which means Jesus was conceived in March and born 9 months after in December.
Secondly, there's an old tradition that says righteous men tend to die on the date of their conception. The traditional date for the Crucifixion in March 25, which is also the traditional date of the Annunciation. 9 months from March 25 is December 25.
Also Saturnalia was really celebrated closer to December 17th, not the 25th. So gtfo with your Zeitgeist-tier bullshit.
