Hebrew Voices #13 – The Truth About Christmas and Tammuz (Rebroadcast)

Posted on December 14, 2016

In this episode of Hebrew Voices, The Truth about Christmas and Tammuz, Nehemia Gordon connects with Dr. Richard Carrier, an expert in ancient religions who reads Greek and Roman texts the way Nehemia reads ancient Hebrew. Dr. Carrier uses his expertise to help Nehemia sort out the genuine pagan influences on Christmas from modern-day myths projected back in time by "dodgy" scholarship. They discuss Tammuz, Inanna (Ishtar), Mithra, Isis, Osiris, and other pagan deities with reference to the writings of Philo, Justin Martyr, Plutarch, Euhemerus, Plato and the Rambam. In closing, Gordon encourages listeners not to be afraid to check out ancient sources and to approach them with discernment and a prayer for understanding.

As most of us know, Christmas is the celebration of a birthday - but 

whose, for sure? Could it have been Jesus; or could it have been someone 

a lot older, and a lot more pagan? Interestingly enough, the date of 

Christmas is approximately 9 months after the time of the Easter pagan 

celebration. 9 months? Does this sound like something familiar?

We also know (from The Easter Connection) that Easter was first 

considered to be the celebration of a conception. Following that train of 

logic, could Christmas, then, be the celebration of a pagan birth - 9-or-so 

months after this time, possibly? And, if this could be so, might this holiday 

be, in actuality, the commemoration of a birth of some pagan, Babylonian 

god… not the son of God?

We’ve already understood the role Nimrod and the sun-god had on Easter 

and Halloween (see The Easter Connection and The Halloween 

Connection). Interestingly enough, in this time of birth, we’ll discover even 

more about the pagan sun god, his viceroy Nimrod (or Tammuz), and one 

more date to be remembered, and embraced, as part of this all:

  ...(the Roman Emperor) Aurelian strengthened the position of the Sun

  god Sol Invictus as the main divinity of the Roman pantheon. His

  intention was to give to all the peoples of the Empire, civilian or

  soldiers, easterners or westerners, a single god they could believe in

  without betraying their own gods.

                                               ("Aurelian", n. d., p. 8)[1]

Apparently, as we see (above), changes were about to take place in the 

ancient Roman Empire. This would be shortly before the time they were to 

adopt Christian values and behaviors as their own. We see that (in the year 

274) - after the roman emperor declared the god named Deus Sol Invictus 

as the official deity - Aurelian also:

  …built a splendid temple of the sun in Rome... and set the sun's birthday

  celebration (naturalis solis invicti) on December 25…

              ("The Shocking Pagan Origin of Christmas!", n. d., p. 5)[2]

December 25th? Could this particular date have originated with more of a 

pagan tone, here, as well? Did this December birthday originate as a 

celebration of the sun-god’s viceroy Tammuz - not anything Christian?

Many who understand religious history know that, in the early 4th century, 

Emperor Constantine became the emperor of Rome who allowed 

Christianity to flourish for the first time. And, eventually, Rome would be 

adopting it as their official religion. Yet, overall, things didn’t seem to 

change very much in the empire itself, it seems. As we’ll see, this 

proclamation really didn’t seem to change what the pagan populous would 

think about their pagan gods, at first… far from it:

  In 313 Constantine issued the "Edict of Milan," which commanded

  official toleration of Christianity and other religions… Constantine's

  program was one of toleration only, and he continued to support both

  Christianity and paganism.

                       ("Conversion of Constantine: Constantine Becomes a

                          Christian", n. d., p. 1)[3]

  In the time of Constantine the cult of Deus Sol Invictus was still at its

  height, and the portrait of the sun-god was on the coins of

  Constantine....

                 ("The Shocking Pagan Origin of Christmas!", n. d., p. 5)[4]

We see, by looking at an actual coin of the approximate period (above), the 

image of Constantine (left) and a crowned, pagan god - holding a globe in 

his hand (on the right) - was still to be etched onto his coinage. The former 

worship would still continue on; as one form or another.

This solitary god’s name was Deus Sol Invictus… which means “the god” 

(Deus) of the “sun” (Sol) who was “unconquered” (Invictus) - the 

unconquered sun god. This sun god’s viceroy, Tammuz (or Nimrod), of 

course, could also be considered “unconquered” because, as we know, he 

was first considered a martyred moral. The sun-god brought him back to 

life. So, thanks to this sun-god, Tammuz was never conquered by death - 

not completely! He was a god, now: the one who actually did the 

conquering over death! And, the time of his birthday would be celebrated 

on December 25th… 9-or-so months after the time of his conception; at 

Easter! We have the following admission, regarding Christmas:

  December 25 was referred to in documents as Christmas Day in A.D.

  324 for the first time. Under the Roman emperor Justinian [A.D. 527-

  565] it was recognized as an official holiday. An old Roman festival

  played a major part in the choice of this particular day.

               ("The Shocking Pagan Origin of Christmas!", n. d., p. 2)[5]

And,

  December 25 in ancient Rome was the 'Dies Natali Invictus,' 'the

  birthday of the unconquered (sun)?'… the last day of the Saturnalia...

               ("The Shocking Pagan Origin of Christmas!", n. d., p. 2)[6]

Seems this “Christian” holiday definitely does have a pagan foundation – 

and really didn’t lose it, that much! But, what about today? Are more 

pagan elements around in our modern celebration of Christmas? Did they 

eventually disappear? And, what’s this (above) celebration of Saturnalia?

First, Saturnalia was an ancient pagan festival; which began, each year, 

around December 17th. It extended all the way to the day of December 

25th. On the actual 25th, the holiday became known as the Brumalia – the 

sun’s (or revived son's) birthday! And, at the conclusion of this festival, 

Roman authorities believed they could destroy most of the forces of 

darkness and evil - if they celebrated it the “right” way, of course. So, if 

we think about it, why would almost anyone in charge want to erase all of 

this working order, just for the sake of some up-and-coming faith of 

Christianity - especially if they worshiped other gods in the past?

So, now we are beginning to see that the birthday of December 25th was, 

at first, celebrated as that of the reborn, pagan god of Babylon: Nimrod (or 

Tammuz). And, as one could guess, this practice must have spread beyond 

this early time of Babylon, to the rest of the ancient world… and this, of 

course, includes ancient Rome. Just as with the holidays of Easter and 

Halloween, new names would be inserted for these original gods of 

Babylon, according to each empire or nation which adopted it! And, just 

like Easter and Halloween, this festival also seemed connected to the 

cycles in nature (such as the changing of the seasons)! So, as one could 

guess, its just another part of this same, founding Babylonian story of old.

In ancient Rome, however, the time was coming for Christianity to be on 

an upswing. And, as one could guess, competition would spring between 

these pagan ways of old, and something new. Survival was in order:

  …there was also another pagan belief during this same epoch, that

  much more nearly competed with Christ for the control of the Western

  world. This was the cult of the Sun, which was revered by millions of

  the inhabitants of the Roman Empire, and its religion for a time even

  became the state worship....

                  ("The Shocking Pagan Origin of Christmas!", n. d., p. 5)[7]

By looking at all of the above, almost anyone could conclude Christmas 

wasn’t originally “Christ’s day,” but an amalgamation, of sorts; Christian 

shell - pagan underbelly. And, what about some of the other famous 

elements of this day - such as the Christmas tree? Are they Christian; or 

something more? Where did this come from?

Probably the most famous image that comes to mind, when one thinks of 

the Christmas holiday, is the Christmas tree. But, why does the holiday 

merit us to put up a tree? What do trees have to do with Christ, or with his 

death, burial, and resurrection? The answer? Most probably - nothing! But, 

what (if anything) would putting up a tree do with pagan beliefs, or pagan 

gods? The answer? Most probably - everything! Let’s see.

  The queen (Semiramis) told the worshippers that when Tammuz (a.k.a.

  Nimrod) was killed… some of his blood fell on the stump of an

  evergreen tree, and the stump grew into a full new tree overnight. This

  made the evergreen tree sacred by the blood of Tammuz.

                             ("The Pagan Origins of Easter", n. d., p. 2)[8]

Obviously, we see the Christmas tree really comes from an old Babylonish 

fable, telling of an evergreen tree which sprang out of a dead tree stump. 

This obviously symbolized dead Nimrod; and the new evergreen tree sym-

bolized how he had come to life again - as the reborn, unconquered god![9]

It clearly seems that a tree - especially an evergreen - was a pagan symbol 

of the god born on this day. And, since the evergreen tree never seemed to 

look as though it “dies” - because it stays green all winter - it became the 

perfect symbol of a martyred god, "reborn" on this day! Now, we also 

have the connection of this holiday to the season of winter: because 

Nimrod "reborn" was said to have come out of the underworld (a place of 

the dead) - similar to the dark, "death-like" surroundings the cold of winter 

gives us.
