Christmas is a modern celebration deeply rooted in ancient pagan rituals and esoteric traditions that symbolize the eternal cycle of death, darkness, and rebirth.
Its customs, echo practices from ancient civilizations like Babylon, Egypt, and Rome, which honored the victory of light over darkness, the renewal of life, and the promise of spiritual transformation.
These traditions, from the evergreen tree as a symbol of eternal life to the feasts of Saturnalia and the rebirth of Sol Invictus, reflect humanity’s enduring relationship with the cycles of nature and the cosmos.
Over time, these themes were woven into Christian narratives, where Christ became the light of the world, mirroring the sun’s return after the winter solstice.
