The Truth of Christmas

The truth behind the Adoption of Christmas leads us to the Roman Empire where the first Catholic Church was established. A church made up of pieces that incorporated everything and anything as they liked and loved and created their whole being. Romans worshipped a God known a Mithra, Unconquerable God and as Catholics and Romans had interests in common both adopted things to make Christmas look more attractive. It was then, Pope Julius I chose December 25th as the day which was also the day of the Roman Pagan God Saturnalia.

In many countries Christmas is known to be the Feast Day of Christ, Feast of Nativity and Happy Solstice.

Solstice in the pagan times was the Goddess of the moon Known as Yule. Earlier Christmas was known as Solstice as time passed by Christmas was adopted by all.

Christmas was then adopted by the Russians and the Greek by the end of the eighth century!
