Holy Heathens, Batman!

Holy Heathens, Batman! | Holly is 1 of the trees most commonly associated with Christmas. Like other evergreens, holly is symbolic of eternal life & vitality; its red berries stand for those, as well as blood. The custom of bringing holly boughs into the home in the best of winter has its origins in the pre-Christian idea that its prickly leaves shelter the fairy folk, who were delighted to come inside at such a cold time of the year. The Romans also brought holly into the house during the time of the Saturnalia, in mid-December. Holly trees planted close to the home guarded the house & its occupants from evil influences; the spiny leaves of the "male" tree are a symbol of protection. Holly with smoother leaves has more female attributes. The name of the tree comes from the Goddess Holle, who was the mother of all unborn children & was responsible for naming them. When Christians call something "holy," they are unknowingly honoring this Goddess. The "Holly King" is an image of a giant constructed from holly, carrying a holly club in his hand. The seasonal counterpart to the Oak King, the Holly King is the guardian of the Winter Solstice. | image tagged in christmas decor 2,moonlight fairies,history,pagan | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

More than 3 centuries B.C.

More than 3 centuries B.C. | The Iranian Mithras was born on December 25th to an impoverished virgin mother. He was both man & God. His sacred day was Sunday & His followers used holy water. The lion, bull & snake were said to represent him. He preached that if you live a moral life you will survive the Last Judgement, gaining immortality; His own resurrection was the proof. | image tagged in middle eastern christmas,jesus,mythology,religions | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Capitalism at work.

Capitalism at work. | Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is neither mythical nor folklore. He was created in 1933 to promote the Montgomery Ward company. Just like how Paul Bunyan was created by a timber business. | image tagged in rudolph and dentist,paul bunyan,fake history,manipulation | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
