Hi, Lynda

I trust you and your family had a great time.

I have an article for you, which is a response to the post by Morgan: THE HISTORY OF CHRISTMAS. "The Duck" only has the www at the beginning, but you'll probably need something more, to post it up.

Post starts below.

When Was the First Christmas?

"In the sacred site at Newgrange is a 5,000-year-old 'cross of light' representing the resurrection to life and rebirth on 'December 25th.'"

There are many other archaeological sites globally that are astronomically aligned, particularly to the winter solstice, some even Goseck circle, Germany; yellow lines represent sunrise and sunset at the winter solstice; c. 7,000 years agoolder than Newgrange, such as the wooden circle or "henge" at Goseck, Germany, which may be 7,000 years old. The building of such astronomically aligned edifices, which are widely understood to be "temples" of a sort, indicates that the ancient astrotheological motif of the sun god's birth at the winter solstice is at least that old. Moreover, there is evidence that this solar observation is much older even than that.

"'Christmas' is thus an extremely ancient celebration, predating the Christian era by many millennia."

By an interesting piece of synchronicity, the author left this earth on Christmas day, four years ago.

Kind regards,
