Über diesen Titel

 December twenty-fifth is not Christ's birthday. Christianity stole Christmas from pagan festivals that predated it by millennia. Episode one exposes how the Church absorbed Saturnalia's gift-giving, Yule's evergreen decorations, and Sol Invictus's date—strategically rebranding winter solstice celebrations rather than eliminating them. Lucien Graves traces Christmas to Roman drunken revelry where slaves became masters, Norse blood sacrifices ensuring the sun's return, and the Wild Hunt collecting souls across frozen skies. He catalogs the monsters Christianity suppressed: Krampus, Perchta who slits bellies, Grýla who eats naughty children, the Yule Cat that devours the poorly dressed. Christmas needed darkness. The Church eliminated it. This is what lies beneath.
