Pagan Holidays

Bible Study by Martin G. Collins

The Babylonian system, as described in Revelation 17, has attempted to change God's Sabbath and holy days by syncretizing them into corrupt worship and establishing their own counterfeit holidays. This world's pagan holidays are not sanctioned by God, and it is wrong to participate in their celebrations. Most of these holidays are based on fables, myths, and lies, which contrasts with the command to worship God in spirit and truth.

Is New Year's Eve a Pagan Holiday?

'Ready Answer' by Mike Ford

Pagan holidays, such as New Year's Eve, have origins that true Christians should consider. The celebration of New Year's is described as pagan to the core by some, suggesting that true Christians should not participate in these festivities. The New Year, beginning in early spring, is mentioned by God only as a time marker and not as an occasion for celebration. The practices associated with New Year's, like parties, countdowns, drinking champagne, and kissing, are not endorsed by God. These Christianized pagan holidays are warned against in scripture, with a call to "Come out from her" to avoid participating in Babylon's wicked ways and their associated punishments.

Satan's Pagan Holy Days

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Kim Myers

Pagan Holidays Pagan holidays are celebrations rooted in ancient traditions that often involve customs and rituals not aligned with Christian beliefs. These holidays include New Year's, Christmas, Easter, Halloween, St. Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, and birthdays. New Year's Celebration New Year's is one of the oldest and most universal pagan holidays, originating from ancient Babylonia or Mesopotamia. It was a celebration of sun-worship, known as Saturnalia by the Romans in honor of the god Saturn. The customs have remained largely unchanged for 4,000 years, involving revelry, drunkenness, and historically, human sacrifice. Christmas Christmas is deeply rooted in pagan customs. The celebration of the 25th of December as Yule Day, the birth of the promised child, originated in ancient Babylon. This day was associated with the birth of the sun god, Baal, and his son Tammuz, who was considered the savior of the world. Many Christmas traditions, such as the yule log, Christmas tree, and gift-giving, have pagan origins. Easter Easter, celebrated as the resurrection of Jesus Christ, has its roots in the Babylonian festival of Ishtar, commemorating the resurrection of Tammuz. The customs of Easter, including eggs, rabbits, and the eating of ham, stem from the Babylonian mystery religion established by Semiramis and Nimrod shortly after the Flood. Halloween Halloween originated from the Celtic Irish festival of St. Hammond, observed on October 31st. It was considered a time for divinations and the only day to invoke the Devil's help. The practices associated with Halloween, such as consulting spirits and honoring the dead, are considered abominations by God. St. Valentine's Day St. Valentine's Day evolved from the ancient Roman fertility festival of Lupercalia. It is associated with the worship of Venus, the goddess of love, and Jupiter, the goddess of desire. The holiday involves significant spending on gifts and is marketed heavily towards children and women. St. Patrick's Day St. Patrick's Day, originating in Ireland, is linked to pagan customs related to the spring equinox. Symbols such as shamrocks, leprechauns, and the color green are associated with pagan beliefs in regeneration and regrowth. Birthdays The celebration of birthdays has roots in pagan astrology, involving rituals such as the use of candles for magical properties and the offering of gifts as sacrifices to pagan gods. In satanic religion, one's birthday is considered the holiest day of the year. These pagan holidays are seen as counterfeits of true religious observance, often used by Satan to deceive people through traditions and customs that are contrary to God's commands.
