This collection not only embraces the festive spirit of the modern holiday season but also delves deep into its ancient roots, tracing back to times when December 25 held mystical significance across different cultures.
Since ancient times, December 25 has been marked by celebrations and rituals. In the Near Eastern Mithraic cults, this date celebrated the birth of the Indian god of light, symbolizing hope and renewal. The ancient Egyptians, within the Isis cult, honored this day as the birth of Horus, connecting the date to themes of victory and the divine.
The Romans, known for their grand festivities, dedicated this time to the solemn Saturnalia in honor of Saturn, the god of agriculture, and celebrated Sol Invictus, the invincible sun god, recognizing the day as a time of light and rebirth.
