5. Soyal - Winter Solstice

Mon Dec 23, 2013, 08:45 PM

Dec 2013

Free clue for Republicons jerking the 'Christmas War' meme to divide and confuse people, and to line their own pockets with ill-gotten filthy lucre: this ceremony has been done for many centuries before the birth of Christ, who most Biblical scholars say was likely born in the spring or summer, but whose celebration was moved to the winter solstice to TAKE ADVANTAGE of the tradition around the world of having a community ceremony at this time of year. So shut your whiney, troublemaking yaps, and let everyone enjoy the season -- Christian, Native, Zorastrian, or whatever.
