Wow! I didn't realize the Galatians were celebrating those. Surely you have documentation to show they were right?

Christmas and its ‘season’ is older than you think..

And paul didn’t give the names of pagan days, etc.. thy tend to evolve overtime..

Weeping for Tammuz dates back to Babylon.. today, it s called lent..

Names change.. the roots all go back to Babylon..

Esther and Ishtar and easte, the list goes on..

Paul was also quoted to tell at least one of his letters, imploring them to keep the feast of passover...
I think it was to Corinthians but I don’t have it handy..

Was Paul sending mixed messages? There are some that believe that.. I do not

The Galatians were being coerced into celebrating the days that christmas and easter represent. The days of the sun god. The days that the virgins were “prepared” by the sun god priests, and the days on which the babies born to those virgins were offered to the idol, in the middle of the bonfire.
