"Trolled the ancient yuletide carol"!

Saturnalia was actually the 17th-20th of December, at longest lasting to the 23rd. The date December 25th was chosen because early Christians calculated and believed Jesus’s conception and death were on March 25th, so since pregnancies last 9 months, December 25th would be his birth. Also, Norse folk didn’t find pine trees sacred, that was oak trees. They had no tradition of putting up a Yule tree either. Christmas trees date back to 1200s France where they were props in Adam and Eve plays, and represented the paradise trees in the Garden of Eden. I also wished you would go more in detail about how the feast of Saint Nicholas was merged with Christmas, which is why the Santa and gift stuff is also celebrated in Christmas.

Christmas however replaced the extension made to Saturnalia to celebrate Sol Invictus, since Saturnalia originally didn't cover the 25th, this was made by Aurelianus, however the figure of Sol Invictus was probably taken from the Christians so the Romans could have a single monotheistic imperial god, and the date was most likely copied from eastern Christians like the Copts which already celebrated Christmas on December 25th. So you can say Christmas was stablished to replace Sol Invictus stablished by Aurelianus which was copied from the Christmas of the Copts, making it go full circle.

@Alpha1918

Жыл бұрын

Well Sol invictus was celebrated in October every 4 years, as enforced by Aurelian. There’s one source, a calendar that places sol Invictus on the 25th and that was done after Christmas was already being celebrated, meaning this was likely done to compete with Christmas. Pagans moved the date of their holiday to the day of Christmas.

Thank you for explaining the REAL reason for the season! I read Romans would greet each other with a yo yo yo during Saturnalia.
