Answer 2

Yupper! Definitely based on an ancient Pagan tradition! To quote About: Pagan/Wiccan Religion at,

http://paganwiccan.about.com/cs/aboutyule/a/paganxmas.htm

"Yule Log - A special log was chosen on the eve of Yule, for the holiday fire. A small piece from last year's log is used to light the fire. The lighting of the fire was a festive family event, to hurry the return of the sun. Charred pieces from the fire would be kept to protect the house through the coming year. The woods most often sought for the Yule log were birch, oak willow or holly. Today, the Yule log is sometimes represented as a log cake instead. Or a small log is decorated with candles. The burning of the Yule log is a well-known tradition, but it's not often done outside of the Pagan community anymore."

I'm not sure where you got your information from but:

Yule was actually celibrated by the Indo-Iranian (Indo-European/Aryan) races all over the world. It is even celibrated today in Iran. The name in Iran is Yalda (also Yula and Yule in ancient taxts). In the ancient Iranian (Persian) culture which was heavily influenced by Zoroaster, but before Zoroaster came (some time between 13,000-7,000 B.C.)Iranians had many Gods and one of these Gods was the God of sun, Mithra. Iranians celibrated his Birthday on Dec. 25th each year, because if you ever stand on the Damavand Mountain in Iran, the sun while come out more brighter than any other day.. The other reason was that the Longest night of each year is then and Iranians traditionaly celibrate that night by gathering with their family and friends and eating foods that give them strength. The Iranians believe that the evergreen trees symbolize strength and life, because they are green even in winter time, and they stand tall against the strongest winds. For this reason, they decorated these trees (as christians do their chrismas tree), and they each plant a new evergreen tree. The tree tredition is starting to fade in Iranian culture but you can still see it happening in some parts of Iran. This tredition was adopted by Greeks and then Romans, and after the Roman Catholism started they mixed these treditions with Christian belifes, not wanting to let go their beloved sun God, thus he became son of God, and Jesus's birthday was celibrated on Dec. 25. In today's Zoroastrian communities this day is also celibrated, but they have changed the name to Daygaan (after the Iranian month of Day). The Yule was celibrated by all Indo-iranian (Indo-European) tribes in Europe as well, before christianity took over Europe.

Answer 4

There was a book called The Two Babylon’s published in the late 1800’s and written by a Catholic Priest. Detailing what Christendom has adopted from false religion into the teachings of the Churches today.
Only Jehovah’s Witnesses teach the truth from the bible.
So please, study the bible with Jehovah's Witnesses when they come to your door.
What you will learn from the bible will be amazing.

Answer 5

Or, do you think that the yole log came from Germany where they would keep the log burning for days as a symbol of God's unending power? Maybe this 'pagandom' is not celebrated at a traditional Christmas! Maybe the customs have overlap; that doesn't mean the meanings have.

(He killed his mother to marry his mother??? Beginning of the Trinity???????? What??????????)

Also- Don't judge Christianity by it's holidays, it's members, or it's churches. Judge it by looking at Christ.

Answer 6

What an imagination! The Rabbis who wrote the stories of Nimrod in the Midrash would never recognize their stories.

Answer 7

i do no longer. in accordance to the historian Professor Hislop, the Christmas tree party actually harks lower back to the time of Nimrod some 4,000 years in the past: “Now the yuletide Log is the lifeless inventory of Nimrod, deified with the aid of fact the solar-god, yet decrease down by his enemies; the Christmas-tree is Nimrod redivivus—the slain god come to existence lower back.”—the two Babylons, pages ninety seven, ninety 8. by burning the pagan yuletide log, Nimrod’s demise develop into anciently spoke of on December 24. Then on the twenty 5th, the presence of an evergreen tree depicted the assumption of his worshipers that “god Nimrod” have been replaced into divine or to immortality. apart from, even as Christendom is crammed to overflowing with such heathen lip service to its professed chief, it quite is empty of all the virtues he required of his genuine followers. The yuletide log develop into each year burned on the December pageant by the Scandinavians.solar worshipers believed that the unburned wood of a yuletide log had magic powers, that bonfires would desire to furnish the solar-god capability and bring him lower back to existence, that homes adorned with evergreens could scare away demons, that holly develop into to be worshiped as a promise of the solar’s return, and that sprigs of mistletoe would desire to hold sturdy success if worn as charms. with regard to the determination of December 25 with the aid of fact the date for celebrating Christmas, the above-quoted encyclopedia says: “This develop into the day that have been committed in pagan Rome to the ceremonial dinner of the solar god and have been noted as Birthday of the Unconquered solar.” In connection with Christmas customs, we examine: “present-giving, the yuletide log, and mistletoe, are Christianized variations of historic Roman, Germanic, and Celtic lore.” they're rooted in paganism.

Answer 8

A Yule log is a large log which is burned in the hearth as a part of traditional Yule or Christmas celebrations in some cultures.

In Northern Europe, winter festivities were once considered to be a Feast of the Dead, complete with ceremonies full of spirits, devils, and the haunting presence of the Norse god, Odin, and his night riders. One particularly durable Solstice festival was "Jol" (also known as "Jule" and pronounced "Yule"), a feast celebrated throughout Northern Europe and particularly in Scandinavia to honor Jolnir, another name for Odin. Since Odin was the god of intoxicating drink and ecstasy, as well as the god of death, Yule customs varied greatly from region to region. Odin's sacrificial beer became the specially blessed Christmas ale mentioned in medieval lore, and fresh food and drink were left on tables after Christmas feasts to feed the roaming Yuletide ghosts. Even the bonfires of ancient times survived in the tradition of the Yule log, perhaps the most universal of all Christmas symbols.

The origins of the Yule log can be traced back to the Midwinter festivals in which the Norsemen indulged in nights filled with feasting, "drinking Yule" and watching the fire leap around the log burning in the home hearth. The ceremonies and beliefs associated with the Yule log's sacred origins are closely linked to representations of health, fruitfulness and productivity. In England, the Yule was cut and dragged home by oxen or horses as the people walked alongside and sang merry songs. It was often decorated with evergreens and sometimes sprinkled with grain or cider before it was finally set alight.

In Yugoslavia, the Yule log was cut just before dawn on Christmas Eve and carried into the house at twilight. The wood itself was decorated with flowers, colored silks and gold, and then doused with wine and an offering of grain. In the area of France known as Provence, families would go together to cut the Yule log, singing as they went along. These songs asked for blessings to be bestowed upon their crops and their flocks. The people of Provence called their Yule log the tréfoire and, with great ceremony, carried the log around the house three times and christened it with wine before it was set ablaze.

To all Europeans, the Yule log was believed to bring beneficial magic and was kept burning for at least twelve hours and sometimes as long as twelve days, warming both the house and those who resided within. When the fire of the Yule log was finally quenched, a small fragment of the wood would be saved and used to light the next year's log. It was also believed that as long as the Yule log burned, the house would be protected from witchcraft. The ashes that remained from the sacred Yule log were scattered over fields to bring fertility, or cast into wells to purify and sweeten the water. Sometimes, the ashes were used in the creation of various charms...to free cattle from vermin, for example, or to ward off hailstorms.

Some sources state that the origin of Yule is often associated with an ancient Scandinavian fertility god and that the large, single Log is representative of a phallic idol. Tradition states that this Log was required to burn for twelve days and a different sacrifice to the fertility god had to be offered in the fire on each of those twelve days.
