Dec 25th the winter solctice dedication to the sun and Baal's birthday shared by his son the morning star-rev 22:16 who is but a mask for the same mythology.
The morning star symboled by the sickly man on the sun radiating cross (baal cross). The appointed holy father of his church given the fisherman ring of Dagon (the fishman god) who was the father of Baal. The holy father is adorned by his fishead hat called mitre and fish scale trimed robe.
His minions celebrate the day of Baal with the forbiden pagan christmas tree.
in Jeremiah's time the "heathen" would cut down trees, carve or decorate them in the form of a god or goddess, and overlay it with precious metals. Some Christians currently feel that this Pagan practice was similar enough to our present use of Christmas trees that this passage from Jeremiah can be used to condemn both:
Hank Hanegraaff of the Christian Research Institute commented:
"This Christmas season, as in those gone by, it is commonplace to hear Christians condemn trees adorned with ornaments as idolatrous. The following passage from Jeremiah is often cited as support for the condemnation:
Jeremiah 10:2-4: "Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not."
