By the time of the Roman Empire, it was celebrated for seven days from 17 December to 23 December. It was in three phases the first tradition we need to examine is the Saturnalia. That ancient Roman practice was kept in the period of the build up to the winter solstice which anciently was celebrated on 25 December... At midnight they issued a loud cry The Virgin has brought forth! The light is waxing! The 25th of December was regarded as the nativity of the Sun. The ritual celebrated in Syria and Egypt was very similar to the modern Christian festival. The celebrants retired to inner shrines. This appears to be the origin of the Christmas Eve party. The Heavenly Virgin was the Mother goddess giving birth to the infant Sun whose light had begun to wax after its long decline. This is the origin of the idea of the perpetual virginity of the deity termed the Heavenly Virgin or the Heavenly goddess. The Bible does not tell us there were three and they are not mentioned as kings. They are termed wise men. There were three types of gifts. The names are traditionally Casper, Melcher and Balthazar. The three kings associated with the birth of Christ come from another source. The symbolism of the Virgin bringing forth an infant from a cave is the symbol of the rebirth of the Sun. A Friday death and Sunday resurrection is the symbol of the Easter system and the spring fertility cults of the ancient goddess Easter or Esther or Astute, the Queen of Heaven so condemned by the law and the prophets.
