Have you ever wondered what a Christmas tree has to do with the birth of Christ, or, why children decorate eggs in commemoration of Christ's death? Well, the answer is a sobering one. Because of the compromise between pagans and the Catholic Church many Christian holidays are Christian in name only. In this book Elisha J. Israel traces the origins of this unholy compromise.

Elisha J. Israel is the author of Into Egypt Again With Ships: A Message to the Forgotten Israelites (African Americans) and Killing Black Innocents: The Program to Control "African American" Reproduction (from Slavery's End to the Present-Day Self-Inflicted Genocide).

The Pagan Origins of Christian Holidays Reviews

  • Penny M Campbell

    Very insightful.

    I have long heard that pagan holidays were responsible for the Christian holidays however I did not realize just how much until I happened upon this book. I will be furthering my research on this topic as it is so interesting to me and does explain why we have so many religious denominations. If you are not raised in a church as a child and feel you need to search for a greater purpose and how to believe in a higher power, Like I have I'm afraid it is quite maddening.

    Eye-opening. A great starter book and quick read for those just starting to research the influence of paganism on Christian holidays. Although I didn't agree with everything in it, I thought it was a great introduction overall and will be of interest to those wanting to read more about a topic in need of more discussion within current Christian circles.

    A Must Read for All Christians

    Thank you Elisha Israel. I've been studying bits and pieces about our holidays for years, and you have brought them all together in one book. I was hoping you would reveal detailed customs, like easter eggs and valentine candies, and compare them to the holiday rituals of today. They may have clarified the idolatry. But I did learn from your histories of the theotokos. Thank you for the scriptures. I admire your grit.

    Interesting book

    I really enjoyed reading this book. I have bee a Christian for a long time, but I always knew that out Christian holidays had a pagan twist. A good read if you are interested in the truth.
