How do Santa's pagan origins contribute to overshadowing the religious significance of Jesus' birth on December 25?
#MerryChristmas #Hichers
Santa reflects pagan roots, linked to Nimrod's mythical power and rebellion.
The Bible doesn't specify Jesus' birth date; December 25 was chosen, linked to pagan festivals.
Santa blends Saint Nicholas, Odin, and Sinterklaas into a secular figure.
Santa emphasizes gifts and consumerism, shifting focus from Jesus' teachings of faith and humility.
The 19th century shaped Christmas with gifts, ads, Santa, and rising consumerism.
Many Christmas traditions, like trees and gifts, have pagan roots, unknowingly honoring heathens.
Consumerism prioritizes Santa, promoting materialism over spiritual meaning.
