May Day: A Pagan Sabbath
Sermon by Charles Whitaker (1944-2021)May Day, observed on May 1st, is steeped in ancient pagan traditions far removed from innocent childhood celebrations. It is recognized as one of the eight days sacred to satan and considered a witches' sabbath. The roots of May Day connect to the Celtic festival of Beltane and the Germanic festival of Walpurgis Night. Beltane, historically linked to northern European spring celebrations, occurs weeks after the Spring Equinox due to the delayed arrival of spring in those regions. Celebrations included decorating May bushes with flowers and ribbons, which were later used as fuel for bonfires lit on hilltops, followed by festivities on May 1st often involving maypoles, recognized as phallic symbols. Some traditions held that maypoles served as conduits for demons to escape from the earth to the surface and beyond. Walpurgis Night, prominent in Scandinavian and Baltic regions, was anciently a gathering time for witches and remains a day of carnival-like celebrations with participants dressing as witches. Additionally, May Day falls exactly six months before All Saints Day on November 1st, another day associated with demon worship and witches' sabbaths. As Catholic influence grew in Celtic areas, May Day was transformed into Mary's Day, incorporating rites such as crowning the queen of heaven with springtime flowers.
Is Valentine's Day Really About Love?
Commentary by Martin G. CollinsIn stark contrast to God's Sabbath, where His people worship Him in spirit, truth, and love, the world's people engage in pagan celebrations rooted in flesh, lies, and lust. Among these worldly observances is May Day, a holiday infused with pagan origins that has been syncretized into the lives of some members of the greater church of God. This blending of pagan practices with Christian life reflects a broader trend of adopting customs from the world, disregarding their roots in opposition to God's way.
Suppressed Archaeology (Part Six)
Commentary by Martin G. CollinsAround 1,000 BC, bands of Celtic mariners crossed the North Atlantic to colonize North America, establishing a new European kingdom called Iargalon, meaning Land Beyond the Sunset. They built villages, temples, and Druid circles, and buried their dead in marked graves. Their presence endured into the time of Julius Caesar, as evidenced by an inscribed monolith bearing the date of the pagan Celtic festival of Beltane, known as Mayday, recorded in Roman numerals consistent with the reformed Julian Calendar introduced in 46 BC.
