Is there a connection between Christmas and Saturday Sabbath ? Yes or No ?

Before anyone answers this question lets look into the historical facts.
What is the origin of Christmas Holiday?
The origins of Christmas derived from saturnalia, which was an ancient Roman festival in honor
of the the Roman god named Saturuni, as this god is affiliated with the planet Saturn. The
Saturnalia festival was held on the 17th of December of the Julian calendar and later expanded
with festivities through to the 23rd of December. This holiday was celebrated with a sacrifice at
the Temple of Saturn, in the Roman Forum, and a public banquet, followed by private giftgiving, continual partying, sexual orgys and a carnival atmosphere that overturned Roman social
norms. Gambling was permitted, and masters provided table service for their slaves.
In the 4th century CE, Christianity imported the Saturnalia festival hoping to take the pagan
masses in with it. Christian leaders succeeded in converting to Christianity large numbers of
pagans by promising them that they could continue to celebrate the Saturnalia as Christians. The
problem was that there was nothing intrinsically Christian about Saturnalia. To remedy this,
these Christian leaders named Saturnalias concluding day, December 25th, to be Jesus birthday.

What is the origin of Saturday Sabbath?


The original word for Saturday is Dies Saturni in latin which is translated into day of Saturn. The
planet Saturn however was specifically named for the roman god of agriculture. This agricultural
god was also equated with the Greek god called Cronos. Not only was a day specifically
dedicated to this deity upon the Julian calendar but as specified previously, a festival in the
month of December that lasted for seven days which was commemorated and recognized as
Saturnalia. Further explanation of the origins of Saturday can be viewed in this link:
http://goo.gl/YUso6f The masses today are led to believe that Saturday is the official 7th day of
the week and by far is the Sabbath law. However, nothing could be further from the truth
considering that at one point in time, Saturday or Day of Saturn was once the original 1st day of
the week. See historical the evidence in this link: http://goo.gl/fyzBxs
It is written in Judaic or Jewish law that Saturday is the Sabbath, however if one would research
this claim we would find out that a claim of this kind is nowhere specified in verbatim in any of
the scriptures or in the book of Moses (i.e. Torah). To imply that every Saturday on a calendar
that is also nowhere mentioned in scripture could only be implied through conjecture and passed
down man made traditions. According to Genesis 1:14, the entire days of the year are to be
calculated according to the lights of the heavens. If we would compare Genesis 1:14 with the
Gregorian calendar which dictates the day of Saturn or Saturday, we would conclude that the
instructions given in Genesis 1:14 does not line up with the logistics of the Gregorian calendar
including Saturday. Further explanation of how the days, including the Sabbath are to be
according to the lights of the heavens as per Genesis 1:14 can be viewed in this link:

I would advise you the reader to do your due diligence of doing the research based upon the facts
presented, as you will come to a conclusion of what is according to scripture and what is not.
Nonetheless, as I would imply. If you honor and keep Saturday Sabbath holy, then you might as
well keep Christmas (i.e. Saturnalia) holy, as we could only affirm that the word Saturday,
Saturnalia and Christmas was never spoken or instructed to be observe by the Most High.
