Almost all scholars agree that King Herod I died in 4 BC, therefore, Jesus would have to have been born in 7-4 BC. It
stated that April 17, 6 BC (17/4/747 Roman Calendar [AUC]) was the actual date that Jesus was born.
The Hebrew and Greek Bible (and Arabic Qur'an) was written using gematria: the practice of assigning a number
to a letter, word, or phrase and that number having symbolic meaning and 'connect'. Hebrew, Greek, and Arabic are
alphanumeric languages. Since the advent and spread of our current worldwide numerical system, man doesn't make
the connection of letters as numbers like we used to. English didn't require the overt connection to mathematics, but the
numbers are in the letters nonetheless: a=1,b=2...z=26. The strongest example of Simple(74) English(74) Gematria(74)
is GOD=7_4. G is the 7th letter, a circle that is either the 15th letter or zerO, and D the 4th letter. 7/4=July 4 and 17/4/
747 AUC is Jesus' Birthday, 4/17/6 BC and July 4, 1776.
Yule or Yule-tide ("Yule-time") is a winter festival that was initially celebrated by the historical Germanic people as
a pagan religious festival, though it was later absorbed into, and equated with, the Christian festival of Christmas. The
festival was originally celebrated from late December to early January on a date determined by the lunar Germanic
calendar. The festival was placed on December 25 when the Christian calendar (Julian calendar) was adopted. Scholars
have connected the celebration to the Wild Hunt.
In ancient Babylon, the feast of the Son of Isis (Goddess of Nature) was celebrated on December 25.
Raucous partying, gluttonous eating and drinking, and gift-giving were traditions of this feast.
In Rome, the Winter Solstice was celebrated many years before the birth of Christ. The Romans called their
winter holiday Saturnalia, honoring Saturn, the God of Agriculture. In January, they observed the Kalends
of January, which represented the triumph of life over death. This whole season was called Dies Natalis
Invicti Solis, the Birthday of the Unconquered Sun. The festival season was marked by much merrymaking.
It is in ancient Rome that the tradition of the Mummers was born. The Mummers were groups of costumed
singers and dancers who traveled from house to house entertaining their neighbors. From this, the Christmas
tradition of caroling was born.
In northern Europe, many other traditions that we now consider part of Christian worship were begun long
before the participants had ever heard of Christ. The pagans of northern Europe celebrated the their own
winter solstice, known as Yule. Yule was symbolic of the pagan Sun God, Mithras, being born, and was
observed on the shortest day of the year. As the Sun God grew and matured, the days became longer and
warmer. It was customary to light a candle to encourage Mithras, and the sun, to reappear next year.
Huge Yule logs were burned in honor of the sun. The word Yule itself means “wheel,” the wheel being a
pagan symbol for the sun. Mistletoe was considered a sacred plant, and the custom of kissing under the
mistletoe began as a fertility ritual. Hollyberries were thought to be a food of the gods.
The tree is the one symbol that unites almost all the northern European winter solstices. Live evergreen trees
were often brought into homes during the harsh winters as a reminder to inhabitants that soon their crops
would grow again. Evergreen boughs were sometimes carried as totems of good luck and were often present
at weddings, representing fertility. The Druids used the tree as a religious symbol, holding their sacred
ceremonies while surrounding and worshiping huge trees.
In 350, Pope Julius I declared that Christ’s birth would be celebrated on December 25. There is little doubt
that he was trying to make it as painless as possible for pagan Romans (who remained a majority at that
time) to convert to Christianity. The new religion went down a bit easier, knowing that their feasts would not
be taken away from them.
Christmas (Christ-Mass) as we know it today, most historians agree, began in Germany, though Catholics
and Lutherans still disagree about which church celebrated it first. The earliest record of an evergreen being
decorated in a Christian celebration was in 1521 in the Alsace region of Germany. A prominent Lutheran
minister of the day cried blasphemy: “Better that they should look to the true tree of life, Christ.”
