Christmas traditions with Pagan origins

  1. Holly - used to drive evil spirits away from trees during winter so they could resume growing
  2. Mistletoe - Pre-Christian cultures regarded the white berries as symbols of male fertility, with the seeds resembling semen. The Celts, particularly, saw mistletoe as the semen of Taranis, while the Ancient Greeks referred to mistletoe as “oak sperm.” [quoting from der Wiki]
  3. Christmas Tree - Tree worship was common among the pagans as well as Vikings and Saxons.
  4. Yule log - common practice among Nordic and Germanic peoples at the winter solstice
  5. Gift giving - The Romans exchanged gifts for Saturnalia.
  6. December 25 - date chosen to appropriate many pagan holidays.
  7. St. Lucy’s Day - candles carried by girls in Nordic countries, maybe rooted in Germanic pagan mid-winter ceremonies
  8. Fruitcake - ancient Egyptians left cakes made of fermented fruit and honey at the tombs of their loved ones that also had long shelf lives
