Saturnalia – the Roman winter solstice orgy Masters and slaves switch roles Saturnalia was the Roman mid-winter festival. It became hugely popular and extended beyond its original single day at the middle of winter, the drinking and debauchery started on the shortest day and continued through the longest night. Saturnalia was in celebration of Saturn, the god of the Seed and Sowing. Saturn was father of Jupiter and the ruler of the Golden Age of Man. Note the distinction between Saturn the god of Protector of the Sowers and the Seed and Priapus, the god of fertility or Liber, God of fertility and nature. Saturnalia is celebrated around the winter solstice. The festival harks back to the Golden Age of Man when Saturn ruled; then all men were equal, there was no work, and everyone enjoyed peace and happiness. So Saturnalia the festival is a time of celebration, visits to friends, and the giving of gifts such as candles and small clay figures. The poet Martial in Epigrams Book 14 lists various presents, some expensive, some very cheap. For example: writing tablets, dice, knuckle bones, moneyboxes, combs, toothpicks, a hat, a hunting knife, an axe, various lamps, balls, perfumes, pipes, a pig, a sausage, a parrot, tables, cups, spoons, items of clothing, statues, masks, books, and pets. The Romans offered sacrifices at the temple of Saturn in the Greek style with uncovered heads. The statue of Saturn was released from woollen bonds. The temple rituals were followed by festive

    @AnonymousTruther Probably so . The truth is a deep dark rabbit hole and unless you really probe you won’t understand. This priest was a stubborn old man that probably didn’t like Santa because they were lookalikes…and you know how honest kids can be.

    @1984IcameandIstayed
    Maybe he didn’t know about the whole Christmas lie anyway….

  • 1984IcameandIstayed says:

    The head of my child’s preschool used to tell the kids not to believe in Santa. I never understood why he said those things but now it is all clear now. The amazing thing was that he was a Catholic priest running a Catholic preschool. (I’m not Catholic, just like most of the parents of the children at that school )

  • joewar420 says:

    @AnonymousTruther The Romans actually took their Gods, as did the Greeks and many others, from the ancient Babylonians. Christmas is the Birthday of Tammuz, son of Nimrod and Semeramis. The tradition of arnimenting a tree and placing gifts under it also come from Tammuz and Semeramis.

  • TheEnkiTruth says:

  • AnonymousTruther says:

    @TheEnkiTruth

    It’s further than that… But the Santa Claus and Christmas of today comes from Roman Times.

  • TheEnkiTruth says:

  • TheEnkiTruth says:

    @AnonymousTruther im a fuckin luciferian u retard.

  • AnonymousTruther says:

    @TheEnkiTruth
    Now, you’re getting on my nerves…
    You just proved me by commenting on this video and not pursuing the Saturnalian Cult series, that you don’t give a shit…. you’re the kind of person who listen to 2 minutes, and comment. fuck the rest. well fuck you too.

  • TheEnkiTruth says:

    @TheEnkiTruth oh and santa has a lot of its origins in the germanic god Odin..god of war…who would travel through the sky on his flying animal…

  • TheEnkiTruth says:

    lol santa is based on many different pre-christian gods and its not evil.

  • jeffdoeskungfu says:

    I’m sure. Cults generally are.

  • AnonymousTruther says:

    Sorry, but the Roman Cult is WAY MORE complicated than this.

  • jeffdoeskungfu says:

    At least real Christians who are familiar with the Bible don’t even associate the mass media “Christmas” with the birth of Jesus anymore. Same goes with Easter. This video is a bit grim. But the fact of the matter is that the church in the old days was just desperate to attract newcomers so they went up to the Pagans and were like, “Hey, you like having celebrations on the winter and spring solstices? So do we…” And then they made up a bunch of bullshit.
