Jesus steals the winter solstice

This right here is the most hilarious. The early church with the help of the Papacy replaced an age-long pagan tradition, then the marketers came in and kicked everyone out!

Happy Saturnalia!

🤣

I've watched this several times focusing on the various characters expressions😄

Merry CRIES-mas😭😭😭

@Gayer_Than_Thou Hilarious. The best Lutheran pastor I ever knew was the one who acknowledged that early Christians decided to celebrate Jesus' birthday near the winter solstice because they knew the best way to market their new religion was with an adjacent "replacement" holiday.

@WilkinsonJamesD I learned something today

@VKNeko1 Santa was kinda already there. Although he was "Old father winter" he just rebranded.
