What Does Jesus And The Bible Say About Christmas? Is It Really A Pagan Holiday?
So many find so much joy in the sights and sounds of December—especially, the arrival of Christmas. Along with green and red decorations, signs and posters featuring a certain jolly, red-robed gentleman, and music you just can not get out of your head, comes the perennial question: Is Christmas a pagan holiday?
Most don’t even care about the answer, but for those who take biblical faith seriously, it is a serious question—and a question in need of an answer.
We’ll be examining the question honestly and openly, with a desire to orient our hearts and minds according to the advice of Jesus Christ as He taught us in Matthew 6 and verse 33 to
“seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.”
And the question is important. How we choose to honor the Father and His Son matters. As we will see in the inspired words of Scripture, our practices have a profound effect on our relationship with God and on the character we are forming for His use and purposes.
For literally hundreds of thousands of people who consider themselves sincere Christians, the Christmas season is among the most sacred.
It is a time for calling to mind the birth of Jesus Christ, the promised Savior of the world. Many attend religious services in December, devoted to remembering popular narratives of the birth of Jesus, whose birth is ostensibly celebrated on Christmas Day itself.
Our cities and even individual homes are often decorated with special reminders of the season—such as nativity scenes, branches or wreaths of holly, mistletoe, and Christmas trees decorated with tinsel of silver and gold. Many will give presents to their friends and family members. But are these Christian traditions? Or do they have pagan roots?
