THE LIES BEHIND THE HOLIDAYS...

WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU REALLY CELEBRATING?

Many holidays celebrated in America and around the world are built on deception, bloodshed, and spiritual corruption. While people believe they are celebrating in good faith, the reality is that these traditions often originate from pagan rituals, satanic symbolism, and European colonial propaganda designed to reinforce control over the masses—especially Black people. This presentation exposes the truth behind these holidays and explains why they are fraudulent celebrations that Black people should reconsider observing.

1. New Year’s Day – The Fake Beginning of the Year

Most people celebrate January 1st as the “New Year,” but is it really the beginning of a new cycle? The truth is that the calendar we follow today is based on the Gregorian Calendar, which was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. Before that, ancient cultures, including African and indigenous civilizations, marked the spring equinox as the real new year—the time when life begins to renew, flowers bloom, and the cycle of nature starts fresh.

January 1st is actually based on the Roman god Janus, who had two faces—one looking forward and one looking back. He was the god of transitions and doorways. Celebrating the new year on this date is a pagan tradition that ignores nature’s rhythms and forces people to live by an artificial cycle imposed by European rulers.

2. Valentine’s Day – A Holiday of Lust, Sacrifice, and Deception

Valentine’s Day is marketed as a day of love, but its origins are rooted in Lupercalia, an ancient Roman festival held on February 13-15, where men would sacrifice animals, smear their blood on women, and engage in sexual rituals to supposedly bring fertility.

The Catholic Church later replaced this with the legend of Saint Valentine, who was said to have secretly performed weddings against Roman law. However, the truth is that this holiday has nothing to do with love—it is a day of ritualistic blood sacrifice and lust, disguised as romance.

3. Easter – Resurrection or Pagan Fertility Worship?

Easter is presented as the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but its roots trace back to the worship of Ishtar (Astarte), the Babylonian goddess of fertility, sex, and war. The eggs and rabbits associated with Easter are ancient fertility symbols that predate Christianity by thousands of years.

The name "Easter" itself comes from Eostre, a Germanic goddess of dawn and fertility. The celebration of Christ’s resurrection was merged with pagan fertility rituals to make Christianity more acceptable to European pagans.

4. Christmas – Saturnalia in Disguise

Christmas, supposedly the birth of Jesus, has no biblical foundation. Jesus was not born in December—the Bible hints at his birth occurring in warmer months. December 25th was chosen to coincide with Saturnalia, a Roman festival dedicated to the god Saturn, filled with drunkenness, gambling, and gift-giving.

The Christmas tree, mistletoe, and Yule log all have pagan origins, and Santa Claus is derived from Odin, the Norse god of war and death. In short, Christmas is a stolen holiday with deep pagan and occult influences.

5. Thanksgiving – Celebrating Genocide

While Thanksgiving is promoted as a time of gratitude, its real history is one of massacre and colonial domination. The first “Thanksgiving” was held in 1637 after European settlers slaughtered 700 Pequot men, women, and children and declared it a "Day of Thanksgiving" to celebrate their victory.

For Native Americans, Thanksgiving is a National Day of Mourning because it marks the beginning of European land theft, betrayal, and genocide. Black people, who share a history of oppression under the same colonial system, should not be celebrating this blood-soaked holiday.

6. The 4th of July – Freedom for Whom?

While white Americans celebrate their independence from Britain, Black people were still enslaved in 1776. The Declaration of Independence spoke of "freedom," yet it did not apply to enslaved Africans who were considered property, not people.

Frederick Douglass famously asked, “What to the slave is the Fourth of July?” The answer is clear—it was never a day of freedom for Black people.

7. Halloween – A Celebration of the Dead and Occultism

Halloween is rooted in Samhain, an ancient Celtic festival where people believed the veil between the living and the dead was thinnest. It was a time of spirit conjuring, human and animal sacrifice, and devilish rituals.

The modern traditions of dressing up and trick-or-treating come from these pagan customs. Today, it remains one of the most occultic celebrations in the world, yet millions of people, including Black families, participate without knowing its sinister roots.

8. April Fool’s Day – The Day of Deception

April Fool’s Day has ties to the oppression of those who resisted the shift to the Gregorian Calendar in the 1500s. Those who continued celebrating the new year in spring (instead of January 1st) were mocked as “April Fools.”

Beyond that, the holiday celebrates deception, trickery, and manipulation—things that have historically been used against Black people.

9. Labor Day – The Forgotten Black Contribution

While Labor Day is seen as a holiday honoring workers, the truth is that Black enslaved people built America with their labor for free. The labor rights movement that led to Labor Day often excluded Black workers, who continued to face discrimination even after slavery.

10. Mother’s Day & Father’s Day – Commercialized Deception

The Bible states, “Honor thy father and mother”, meaning this should be a daily practice, not a holiday pushed by corporations. These holidays are heavily commercialized, with billions spent on cards, flowers, and gifts, feeding into consumer culture rather than genuine respect.

Final Thoughts: Should Black People Celebrate These Holidays?

Holidays are not just days on a calendar—they shape beliefs, culture, and consciousness. Many of these celebrations were designed to manipulate, control, and deceive people, especially Black communities.

Instead of following these Eurocentric and pagan traditions, Black people should reclaim their own cultural celebrations, connect with their ancestral heritage, and build traditions that uplift and empower their communities.

What do you think? Should we continue to celebrate these holidays, or is it time for something new?
