Den romerske kejsaren Konstantin den stores (272–337 e.Kr.) omvändelse till kristendomen är en central händelse i Västerlandets historia. Kristendomen gick från att vara en förföljd minoritet till att bli den dominerande religionen i Romarriket.Konstantins relation till den traditionella romerska religionen var dock pragmatisk. Han tillät fortsatt kult av solguden Sol Invictus och tolererade inledningsvis andra religioner. Trots sitt starka stöd för kyrkan lät han inte döpa sig förrän på sin dödsbädd år 337. Denna balansgång mellan det gamla och det nya var sannolikt avgörande för hans politiska framgång.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med antikvetaren och författaren Allan Klynne, som är aktuell med boken Konstantin den store – Roms förste kristne kejsare.I början av 300-talet e.Kr. befann sig det romerska imperiet i djup kris. Tetrarkin – ett fyrkejsarsystem skapat för att stabilisera styret – hade kollapsat, och inbördeskrig rasade mellan rivaliserande tronpretendenter. I detta kaos steg Konstantin fram, son till kejsaren Constantius Chlorus. Efter faderns död år 306 utropades han av sina trupper till kejsare i väst.År 312 ställdes Konstantin mot sin främsta konkurrent om makten, Maxentius, i slaget vid Milviska bron. Enligt flera källor såg han inför striden ett kors på himlen, tillsammans med orden "I detta tecken skall du segra", eller drömde om en ängel som visade honom symbolen Chi-Rho – de första bokstäverna i det grekiska ordet för Kristus. Han lät måla symbolen på soldaternas sköldar och vann en avgörande seger. Maxentius drunknade i Tibern, och Konstantin tågade in i Rom som härskare över väst.Året därpå, 313, utfärdade Konstantin tillsammans med kejsar Licinius det så kallade Milanoediktet, som garanterade religionsfrihet i hela riket och avslutade de systematiska förföljelserna av kristna. Även om han själv ännu inte var döpt började han aktivt gynna kyrkan: han donerade mark, gav ekonomiskt stöd och påbörjade bygget av kyrkor som Lateranbasilikan och den första Peterskyrkan.Vid denna tid var kristendomen ännu en minoritetsreligion, men snabbt växande. Dess fokus på själens frälsning, individens värde och evigt liv tilltalade många i ett samhälle präglat av oro och kris. Dess välorganiserade församlingar bidrog till en stark infrastruktur, som snart blev ett viktigt verktyg även för staten.Trots kristendomens pacifistiska ursprung valde Konstantin att knyta den till sin militära och politiska makt. Genom att uppträda som Guds utvalde kejsare – en förening av andlig och världslig auktoritet – skapade han ett nytt sätt att härska.Musik: Saturnalia av bzur, Storyblock Audio.Bild: Konstantins staty i Kapitolinska museerna. Del av statyn av Konstantin den store, bevarad i Kapitolinska museerna i Rom. Skulpturen, ursprungligen uppförd i början av 300-talet e.Kr., föreställer kejsaren i idealiserad stil och symboliserar hans makt och gudomliga auktoritet som både romersk härskare och kristendomens beskyddare.

He wasn't Keanu Reeves, and he definitely wasn't a Christian hero. In this episode, we rip the golden halo off Constantine the Great and dig into the actual history behind the man who allegedly saw a cross in the sky and converted an empire. Spoiler: he was more into Apollo than Jesus.Was Constantine a devout believer or just a savvy warlord with excellent PR? We're dragging in all the big names—Diocletian, Eusebius, Helena, Galerius, Julius Caesar, Sol Invictus—and tossing their reputations on the pyre of historical comedy.Featuring entrails, imperial propaganda, and a brief stopover in ancient Canada (don't ask, just listen). Perfect for fans of religious satire, Roman drama, and anyone who's ever side-eyed Christian revisionism. Sketch comedy. Blasphemous history. Reluctant education. Because saints don't order the murder of their wives and sons. But emperors do.

Serapis is a male deity that combines elements of Hades/Pluto, Dionysus, Osiris, Apis, and Helios--and may have some connections to the Jesus myth. We certainly see how Emperor worship becomes folded into the mythology of this period, and its later influence on Christianity. As our current society is going through upheavals and changes in its worldviews, it is worth considering a syncretic deity that was worshipped at another time of upheaval.

Be careful what you wish for, because you just may get it: this old adage-warning was exemplified in story of king Midas, and his famous golden touch. In a Tuesday press conference at the White House, President Donald Trump was joined by Masayoshi Son of SoftBank, Sam Altman of OpenAI, and Larry Ellison of Oracle to announce a $500-billion AI-infrastructure project which includes mRNA cancer technology and mass data collection. Construction on data collection facilities was already approved by Biden, but now with the backing of Trump the project, termed STARGATE, is moving ahead with full steam. With goals set by the new administration to reach Mars and continue the expansion of American territory it is becoming clear why things have been moving so smoothly. The President's backing of crypto-digital currency, AI-infrastructure, and the North American Union is right out of conspiracy horror theories about a New World Order. It feels as if in exchange for 'something' (dropped charges, a second term, etc.) some sort of collective bargain with the Devil has been made. America will be allowed to return to its global status, wealth, and power so long as its corpse leads the global government; and Trump will be allowed to return as the king after having been cast out into the wilderness, fulfilling the role of an archetypical myth. America will be resurrected via political necromancy if it agrees to lead in the areas of gene editing, global spy satellites, the IoT, microchips, and full spectrum dominance. The Golden American Age will feature the construction of the Beast - as part of Stargate, Oracle, NVIDIA, and OpenAI will closely collaborate to build and operate this computing system, the very thing Christian conservatives have been frightened of for decades. The anti-christ is a consciences, an operating system, that must have a body to inhabitant, and that is precisely what the infrastructure of STARGATE will facilitate. The goal is be to connect bodies and minds to the 6G system of Samsung, which includes holograms and digital replicas of the real world and its people. At the forefront of this agreement is Lord Kekius Maximus, the frog god of the abyss, and Sol Invictus, or Abraxas, the yellow-orange sun-god, like the orange-yellow man who sits in the White House - the bronze hero turned villain in order to save what he loves. All of this just in time for the 2030 Agenda to be fulfilled.

Christmas Is Not A Pagan Holiday Today, let's look at the common arguments for a Pagan Origin of Christmas. Let's put them into 3 categories: 1. The 25th Date coincides with other pagan holidays like Saturnalia and Sol Invictus 2. The gods who were born on the 25th make Christ look like a copycat in a long line of copycats. 3. The Christmas Tree appears to be the Asherah Pole from Jeremiah 10:1-5. So let's start with the date of the 25th. Where did the date come from? Some sources attribute Theophilus of Antioch circa 171-183 AD as the first to use the 25th of December date as the date of Christ's birth, due to the notion that prophets are conceived on the day they die (Christ's death being attributed here as the 25th of March). Some even attribute Pope St. Telesphorus in circa 125-136 AD as having ascribed the December 25th date decades earlier. The dates of Saturnalia were the 17th-23rd , never on the 25th. A Pre-Christ Sol Invictus is only referenced in 1 manuscript, the Chronography of 354. This manuscript was written over 100 years after Hippolytus of Rome's Commentary on Daniel (circa 202~211 AD), which references the December 25th Birth of Christ. It is entirely possible that the observance of Sol Invictus's birthdate may have even been a mimicry of the December 25th date! There go those two points, showing a crippling lack of scholarship on the part of the proponents of a Pagan Origin of Christmas. As for other gods who have held or picked up the 25th, some of these have resurrection stories and other vague similarities to Christ's story. I'll have to quote Lewis here on this general contention as Lewis said it better than I could: “And what did God do? …He sent the human race what I call good dreams: I mean those queer stories scattered all through the heathen religions about a god who dies and comes to life again and, by his death, has somehow given new life to men.” If one takes the proposition that man came from Noah, and Noah expected the redeemer of the Genesis 3 covenant, would not man expect such a redeemer? Also, would not the Devil himself love to abuse this desire for a Savior and propagate such false religions for the Devil's own gain? This view, even if you believe it to be wrong, is at least consistent. On a side note, I do not believe, like many, that Christ's birth was on the 25th of December. It was likely on the feast of First Fruits in April. This would better fit the prophetic timeline and The Christ Comet is a theory of the Star of Bethlehem that plots the activities of a specific comet to that time frame. This comet would have behaved in such a way as to lead the Magi to Jerusalem and then to Bethlehem, but this is neither here nor there for this discussion. On the note of the Christmas Tree, the Asherah Pole of Pre-Christ Iran is often connoted with the Tradition of the Christmas Tree, which was started around the 1500s by the French and Germanic Christians, the better part of two millennia separated from Jeremiah's words in Jeremiah 10:1-5: "1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: 2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. 5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good." On that note, how would uncarved trees have anything to do with carved wooden idols? Just because heathens used trees in false worship, does not mean that trees are somehow pagan. If pagans doing something or celebrating in a certain way makes any association with the item or practice anathema, stop singing, stop praying, and while you're at it, stop breathing! This extreme is almost a strawman, but the point of this should be why are we doing what we do? Some traditions are valueless, granted. Some are even dangerous, agreed. But let's base our critiques, if we have them, on facts and not unsupported nonsense. (For example, find an actual ancient source on the use of Christmas Trees for Saturnalia. Few if any exist, and none that we are aware of.) Santa Clause, on the other hand, is a different story. St. Nicholas (Born circa 280 AD) is the oldest reference of the Jolly Man who gave aid to the poor and powerless. Tales of St. Nicholas include him giving dowries to girls being sold into prostitution, thereby saving them from such a life, and giving gifts to the poor. Others are more fantastic. However, all of these stories should be celebrated, in the context of what the Love of God can do through one man. St. Nicholas wasn't magical, he was transformed through his relationship to Christ. Santa Claus, as we have him today, came from numerous accretions and other legends, some even pagan in origin (think Krampus). All of that aside, however we got Santa Claus is not necessarily important. What is concerning is that some have taken the caricature of St. Nicholas and turned him into a god who rewards good works and the sacrament of milk and cookies. We tell children Santa and Jesus are both real and then wonder why they no longer believe in Christ only a few short years of their belief in Santa being shattered. Where is our consistency? Have we been guilty of worshiping a false god that satisfies our own paganistic desires for self fulfillment in America? Has Consumerism consumed the message of Christmas? So, is Christmas a pagan holiday root and branch? Not in the root, but maybe for some, the branch. We should ask ourselves: Is Christ still on the throne of Christmas, or have we erected our own god of self-actualization with a fat bearded man who gives gifts with little effort from us, a caricature of God the Father Himself? Do we spend nearly as much time worshiping the King of Heaven as we do ourselves, and even our children and families? https://www.learnreligions.com/why-is-christmas-on-december-25-700439 https://www.patheos.com/blogs/davearmstrong/2017/12/december-25th-birth-jesus-interesting-considerations.html https://talesoftimesforgotten.com/2019/12/08/just-how-pagan-is-christmas-really/ https://talesoftimesforgotten.com/2018/12/05/the-origins-of-the-christmas-tree/ https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/reviews/great-christ-comet-revealing-star-bethlehem/

Some claim that Christmas originated after a pagan festival. They equate the season with a pagan theme after the winter solstice, also to do with Mithras, Saturnalia, and other Roman worship dieties. They state that it is the Sol Invictus worship of the Unconquored Sun. However, others defend its origins to say that Christians originally celebrated the birth of Christ and pagans mimicked it after Christians. Which is it? We look at the traditions as well as search for the origin of the December 25 date that many recognize as the commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Think Christmas is a stolen pagan holiday? Think again—it's all about numerology! --- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ In this episode of _Creation's Paths_, Charlie and Brian explore the history and myths surrounding Christmas, debunking common misconceptions about its origins. They clarify that Christmas is not a repurposed pagan holiday, as widely believed, but rather the result of Roman numerology and early Christian traditions. They discuss how December 25th was chosen based on the Roman calendar's symbolism, not to align with Saturnalia, Mithras, or Sol Invictus. The conversation touches on the historical complexity of early Christianity, the influence of the Gregorian calendar, and the evolution of holiday traditions. Additionally, they introduce the 12 days of Christmas as a significant cultural and spiritual practice, encouraging listeners to celebrate this extended festive period meaningfully. The hosts promise more insights into the 12 days in upcoming episodes, blending Christopagan, Druidic, and cultural perspectives.

CELEBRATING THE BIRTH of Jesus has become controversial—for Christians.There is no question that unbiblical traditions have become part of the holiday. But contrary to what you may have heard, the holiday was not established by the early church to “christianize” a pagan holiday.We explain how the early church settled on December 25 (and January 6) as Christmas Day, and why, based on solid academic research into the history of the holiday, Christmas has nothing to do with Nimrod, Baal, Saturn, Sol Invictus, the winter solstice, or any other pagan tradition or holiday from the ancient world.

W/C 16th December 2024The biggest problem I had trying to replicate my Chrissy Mix playlist on Spotify came literally at the start of the process. Since my very crack at that particular selection, the first track had always been Gabriels Message by Marillion. No ifs, no buts, no negotiations.Of course that particular version started out life as a fan club only release, and still to this day is not available on Spotify. So I had to find an alternative, atmospheric opener and whilst I love Sol Invictus by TG, it just isn't quite the same. I have become used to that as the start point.Of course Midwinter Toast which is the second track on the seminal Strange Communion album isn't actually on my Chrissy Mix but as this weeks TFM goes live on the Midwinter solstice it felt like a good way to include this track as well.Stay safe.Stacey & Nat stare-offGwen's Omelette Recipe

Tänä vuonna moni koulu karsii joulujuhlastaan uskonnollisen sisällön, mutta pitää ajankohdan. Joulun ajankohdalla on kuitenkin kristilliset juuret, väittää moni historioitsija. Joidenkin tutkijoiden mukaan Rooman keisari itse asiassa omi Sol Invictus-juhlan päivän kristityiltä. Niiranen & Marjokorpi perkaavat joulun historiaa.

Episode Synopsis: Is Christmas simply a holiday of trees and presents, eggnog and candy canes, or do the cryptic traditions of man conceal an evil presence being worshiped during this winter holiday? We talk about this and much more, including: Does the pagan celebration of the Winter Solstice have anything to do with December traditions? Is there any way Jesus could have been born on December 25th? If not, then why do we “remember” His birth on this day? How has two of ancient Rome's most prominent pagan festivals, Sol Invictus and Saturnalia, influenced the Christian celebration of Christmas? What is Yule and why do we talk and sing about it during the Christmas season? Is there any connection between the American “flu” season and the practicing of pagan holy days? What has God said about the ways in which we worship Him, and does He get anything out of Christians observing Christmas?

This week we're discussing every album by Faith No More. As one of the pioneers of alt metal, Faith No More combined heavy hip hop-spired rhythms with chunky metal guitarwork to create a wholly unique style. But since Mike Patton joined the band in the late 80s, FNM has evolved into one of the most interesting and diverse rock bands of all time. These guys are legendary, simple as that. Not to mention some of Patton's onstage antics teeter into criminal activity territory.Closing track: "Just a Man" from King for a Day...

Aurelian.  Farm boy.  Born in the dirt somewhere near Sirmium, son of a soldier, and a priestess of Sol Invictus.  He entered the army at the very bottom and fought his way to the top of the military hierarchy, the old fashioned way - he earned every bit of it.  By the time Claudius Gothicus died, he was the number two to the emperor, the general in charge of the entire army.  But this was a reduced Empire, split in three, overrun by barbarian enemies on the frontiers, and devastated by the Plague.  What is Rome in 270AD?  And who is Aurelian?  Does any of it matter when the world as we know it no longer exists?

Maybe you’ve heard the claims that Christmas is on December 25th because of some pagan festival: either Saturanlia, or Sol Invictus, or the birthday of Mithras, or some such. But is that really true? Joe unpacks the lies and falsehood spread by the “Living Church of God” in their video “Christmas Is Pagan—Here’s Why It Matters & What You Should Do About It.” Speaker 1: You’re listening to Shameless Popery, with Joe Heschmeyer, a production of Catholic Answers. Joe Heschmeyer: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. Today I w…

“The Church was anxious to draw the attention of it's members away from the old pagan feast days, and the December date did this very well, for it coincided with the birthday of the invincible son of Mithraism…” Was Christmas as we know it invented and plagiarised from rival cults, such as the worship of Mithra, the Iranian god of the sun, during the days of the Roman Empire? Is Christmas in fact a pagan festival, that Christians have made their own? Join Tom and Dominic as they delve into the roots of Christmas, the importance of the Roman festival of Saturnalia, the cult of Sol Invictus, and much more.

Have you ever wondered where Christmas traditions come from? Better yet, is there any CHRISTIAN truth to these traditions, or are they all rooted in paganism? And what's the deal with Santa Claus? Where did he come from and how did he become such a legend in the hearts and minds of both children and adults? The answers may surprise you! Back by popular demand (and just in time for the holidays), nationally known speaker and best-selling author, Bill Federer, joins Frank to discuss the TRUE history of Christmas and debunk some of the popular myths circulating online about its origins. During this episode, Bill will unpack the story of St. Nicholas as detailed in his popular book 'There Really Is a Santa Claus', and explore the various Christmas traditions that have evolved across different cultures over time. Listen as Frank and Bill answer questions like: Was Jesus really born on December 25th? Is Christmas a copycat of Sol Invictus? What role did St. Nicholas play at the Council of Nicaea? Where did the Christmas tree come from? How did Martin Luther change Germany's Christmas traditions? Is it ok for Christians to use the term X-mas and where did it come from? Should Christians teach their kids that the mythical Santa Claus is real? What is the true meaning of Christmas?   And so much more! As you'll hear in this fascinating conversation, Bill is an amazing historian, storyteller, and fan favorite of the CrossExamined community. His wealth of knowledge on this subject will not only encourage you to defend the Christmas holiday, but also help you to see how it ultimately points to the plan of redemption.

Ein sensationeller archäologischer Fund in Trier erinnert an römische Götter und ihre Verbindung zum Christentum - zumindest bei einem bestimmten Datum an diesen Tagen. Worum es geht: Das Weihnachtsfest am 25. Dezember. Denn an diesem Tag huldigten die Römer auch heidnischen Gottheiten - Mithras zum Beispiel. Mithras war ein orientalischer Gott aus Kleinasien. Er kam in der späten Phase des Römischen Reiches auf und war offenbar vor allem unter Soldaten und Kaufleuten verbreitet. Der Mysterienkult wurde in unterirdischen Tempelräumen gepflegt - in Übereinstimmung mit der Schöpfungsgeschichte des Mithras, der aus einem Fels geboren sein soll. Was diesen bis heute nicht vollständig erforschten Kult ausmachte, wieso auch die Christen den Tag des Mithras (und anderer Gottheiten wie Sol Invictus) zu ihrem machten - und wieso sich die Verehrung des Mithras gegen die neue Religion der Christen nicht behaupten konnte, erfahrt ihr in dieser Episode.

Episode Synopsis: Is Christmas simply a holiday of trees and presents, eggnog and candy canes, or do the cryptic traditions of man conceal an evil presence being worshiped during this winter holiday? We talk about this and much more, including: Does the pagan celebration of the Winter Solstice have anything to do with December traditions? Is there any way Jesus could have been born on December 25th? If not, then why do we “remember” His birth on this day? How has two of ancient Rome's most prominent pagan festivals, Sol Invictus and Saturnalia, influenced the Christian celebration of Christmas? What is Yule and why do we talk and sing about it during the Christmas season? Is there any connection between the American “flu” season and the practicing of pagan holy days? What has God said about the ways in which we worship Him, and does He get anything out of Christians observing Christmas?

CELEBRATING THE BIRTH of Jesus has become controversial—for Christians.There is no question that unbiblical traditions have become part of the holiday. But contrary to what you may have heard, the holiday was not established by the early church to “christianize” a pagan holiday.We explain how the early church settled on December 25 (and January 6) as Christmas Day, and why, based on solid academic research into the history of the holiday, Christmas has nothing to do with Nimrod, Baal, Saturn, Sol Invictus, the winter solstice, or any other pagan tradition or holiday from the ancient world.

Do Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus on December 25 because that was the day when the Romans celebrated the feast of Sol Invictus, the “unconquered sun,” as the winter days began to get longer again? Or perhaps because that date aligns with the festival of Yule in Scandinavian cultures? Are Christmas trees a part of seasonal festivities because some pre-Christian cultures worshiped trees as deities? Every December, it seems, people commemorate the holiday season with heated debates on these and other topics pertaining to the origins of Christmas. Some like to argue that Christmas is almost exclusively rooted in non-Christian or pre-Christian customs. Others are appalled at the notion that any of our beloved holiday rituals were once also beloved by people of other religions. So what's the truth of the matter? Our guest on this episode discusses about the origins of the Christmas celebration, some of our most popular holiday rituals, and whether it really matters where these customs originated. Pastor and educator Kenneth McIntosh has degrees in English and theology, and has written extensively on Celtic spiritualities. He is the coauthor, along with Lilly Weichberger, of Brigid's Mantle: A Celtic Dialogue Between Christian & Pagan (Anamchara Books) and the author of Water from an Ancient Well: Celtic Spirituality for Modern Life and Oak and Lotus: Celtic Christian Spirituality in the Light of Eastern Wisdom (both from Anamchara Books).

There is an annular eclipse that will be seen the day after Friday the 13th. This is an amazing synchronicity as the sun sends us a message that not all is well - an eclipse has always been a portent or a warning that all signs point to abrupt change. Religious scriptures, ancient writings, and mythological artwork are congruent and cyclical with regard to the Black Sun symbol. Rare eclipses and the darkening of this huge ball of fire are powerful times for the elite to plan the fate of their world. It is a time to decide if it is the end of an age and if judgment should be at hand.

Robert Cooper and Jesse Starcher review the latest from Faith No More, Sol Invictus! How do you like your eggs? I think the phones ringing!Sol Invictus (Latin for Unconquered Sun) is the seventh studio album by American rock band Faith No More, released on May 19, 2015. It was Faith No More's first studio album following 1997's Album of the Year, marking the longest gap between two studio albums in their career, and their first release on Reclamation Records. Sol Invictus was also the band's first album since 1992's Angel Dust to feature the same lineup as its predecessor.The album marked the group's fifth collaboration with longtime producer Matt Wallace, this time helping with the final mix rather than a more substantial producing role.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsoFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulich

Each December, as we approach Christmas, there are articles proclaiming that the “real reason” we celebrate Christmas on December 25th is because of pagan holidays. So is Christmas based on the pagan feast of Saturnalia? Or is it based on the feast of Sol Invictus? And if not either of these, how did Christians end up celebrating Christmas on December 25th?

In the Illinois Capital Rotunda, there are a series of religious displays currently out-- most significantly, a menorah, a Nativity scene, and a display for Sol Invictus that includes a crocheted serpent around crocheted apples and a copy of Copernicus' "On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres". I've heard the story mentioned a few places, and wanted to offer three notes that I've not been hearing: firstly, the iconography of the menorah and the Nativity are a lesson for how to conquer the third image of the serpent; secondly, that the Satanic Temple display ought to arouse sorrow in our hearts; and thirdly, the inclusion of Copernicus' book with the serpent is shallow and frankly absurd. A story about the display is here: https://www.capitolnewsillinois.com/NEWS/holiday-displays-including-the-satanic-temples-return-to-illinois-capitolHopefully, this will all serve as a decent Advent reflection for you as well!Please rate, review, and share this podcast!
