25 years before my deeper study of the scriptures prompted me to leave the church, I had already developed strong convictions against Christian holidays. There is virtually no-one, not even among conservative Christian scholars and apologists, who denies the pagan origins of Christian holidays. The question is: what, if anything, is wrong with co-opting pagan practices? Christianity sees this practice as demonstrating its victory over paganism.

We won’t go into detail about how foreign religious celebrations were blended into Christianity by the Roman Catholic Church. That information is easily found online with a simple google search.

In Israel, the earliest of Jesus’ followers knew nothing of these holidays. They continued to meet on the Sabbath in the synagogue. They continued observing the jewish god’s feasts, which are summarized in Leviticus 23. They did not participate in any of these foreign religious observances. They wouldn’t have even considered it, for the jewish god specifically forbade it!

The introduction of pagan holidays into Christianity began in the fourth century. They are completely absent from the New Testament writings. (Please don’t mistake the mistranslation of the Greek word for Passover–Pascha–as Easter in Acts 12:4 in the King James Version as anything other than what it is: a purposeful mistranslation of Passover, attempting to replace this particular post-crucifixion Passover with a holiday which wasn’t celebrated by Christianity until hundreds of years after the book of Acts was written.)

The original revelation of the jewish god to mankind, the Torah (supposedly), contains a statement directly from the jewish god about how he feels about Christian holidays:

When the Lord your God eliminates the nations from the place where you are headed and you dispossess them, you will settle down in their land.

After they have been destroyed from your presence, be careful not to be ensnared like they are; do not pursue their gods and say, “How do these nations serve their gods? I will do the same.”

You must not worship the Lord your God the way they do! For everything that is abhorrent to him, everything he hates, they have done when worshiping their gods. They even burn up their sons and daughters before their gods!

You must be careful to do everything I am commanding you. Do not add to it or subtract from it!

Deut 12:29-32 NET

Not only has Christianity specifically taken the religious practices of pagan cultures and made them their own, they have abandoned the holidays that the jewish god himself established!

However, if Aryan people will abandon the mythos of Christiantiy, we can return to the celebrations of our people and/or form new ones!
