Nimrod, the Babylonian king (also known as Gilgamesh in the area or Orion to Egypt, Apollo to Greeks) is noted as born on December 25th. I believe his known signature was a cross or an “X” hence we have what is commonly celebrated as “X-Mas” and nothing to do with the birth of Christ.
All of the known sun-deities were 'born' on December the 25th, these include Mithra, Krishna (Vishnu), Osiris, Horus, Hercules, Dionysus (Bacchus), Tammuz, Indra, Jesus Christ, Buddha as well as the Scandinavian goddesses. [Aryan Sun Myths, The Origins of Religion - S.E. Titcombe], as well as all the other reincarnations of the child-god of the Babylonian religious system.
Behind all Pagan deity worship stands Satan himself. He accepts honor in whatever name we wish to call him; Baal, Moloch, Marduk, Venus, Odin, Krishna, Aphrodite, Ishtar, Zeus, Amon-Ra, Mithras, Ahura-Mazda, Dagon -- male or female, it matters not. The most important day in the life of any satan worshipper is their annual birthday.
For roughly 4,000 years, the SOLSTICE has been -- by proxy -- the day of Satan's birthday celebration (because he is the designer of the original astrological religious pattern), and deceived mankind to cause them to worship the sun.
Nimrod, grandson of Ham, son of Noah, was the real founder of the Babylonian system that has gripped the world ever since. Nimrod built the tower of Babel, the original Babylon, ancient Nineveh, and many other cities. He organized this world's first kingdom. The name Nimrod, in Hebrew, maybe derived from "Marad' meaning, "he rebelled." (Gen. 10: 6,8-12)
Nimrod was known as the god of the Chaldean Mysteries. In the Chaldean mysteries, the Babylonian dictator Nimrod was deified as Saturn. Satan and Saturn are the same words, one 'Early Latin', and the other 'Late Latin'... His birthday was celebrated on December 25th or the Saturnalia. Saturn and Mystery are both chaldean words, and they are correlative terms. As Mystery signifies the hidden system, so Saturn signifies the hidden god.*
...Saturn in Chaldee is pronounced Satur, but as every Chaldee scholar knows, it consists only of four letters, thus-STUR. This name contains exactly the Apocalyptic number 666:--
S=060
T=400
U=006
R=200

Satur is the goat-legged half man half goat 'deity' headed by Pan (a representation of satan) sometimes spelt 'satyr' in English.
The Oxford dictionary identifies it as 'Saturos' in Greek. The Saturs and their leader Pan are also known as "Goat-gods".
The early Babylonians called the sun "the Goat" and said that the "Goat-god" was the "Sun-god". Isaiah 13:21 identifies the Saturs as belonging to Babylon.
The scapegoat Azazel of Leviticus 16 was a figure of satan (Christianity and Mythology J.M. Robertson pp.319-325). This is also confirmed by the Church Father, Origen.
A deity with two goat-legs has always been identified as satan. The names Satur and Saturn therefore are camouflaged references to Satan. (Hislop and Jacob Grimm)
The Saturnalia was named for Saturn, otherwise known as Cronus. Cronus is an alias for Tammuz. Tammuz was Nimrod reborn - alias, his son. His wife and mother was Rhea (Semiramis). Egyptian and Babylonian antiquities recognize his mother as Semiramis, and his birthday is celebrated on 25th December. Semiramis was depicted as a virgin Madonna holding the "Christ" child.
The Saturnalia, therefore, was just another observance for Tammuz/Nimrod, the Babylonian, counterfeit redeemer.
