Topic: Saturnalia

Ron Neal argues that Christmas is a pagan tradition with no biblical authorization, citing the Encyclopedia Britannica as a source for its non-Christian origins. The celebration is linked to the Roman festival of Saturnalia and the Babylonian worship of King Nimrod, whose burial site allegedly sprouted a tree that became a deity symbol. The Catholic Church is credited with incorporating these sun-worshiping traditions on December 25th to increase its membership during the first millennium.
