Ephraim's America a Multitude of Nations: Ancient Bear & Christmas Festivals

The American Indians and the Celts Celebrated the Bear

From antiquity to the middle Ages, the Celts celebrated the end of hibernation of the bears at the beginning of February. This was around the time when the bears would leave their dens and see if the weather was mild. This festival was characterized by bear costumes or disguises. For a long time, the Catholic Church sought to stop these practices. It is thought that the Catholic Church instituted the Feast of Purification of the Virgin Mary called Candlemas on February 2^nd so that the Celts would stop celebrating the Bear festival. The celebrations of the bear and the return of light continued, with bonfires and other torchlight processions. Today on our calendar we celebrate groundhogs day on February 2^nd instead of the bears coming out of hibernation.

The Bear Hibernation Feast was on February 2^nd and was actually the end of the Great Bear constellation’s hibernation.

Located near Sunset Crater and the San Franscisco Mountians in Arizona is the Wupatki National Monument which may have included the tallest building to view the sunsets looking southwest (as the article above states). The masonry work is like the masonry work by the Anasazi’s of the southwest.

Book 'Time in Antiquity'

There is no information about the Moqui Indians in Wikipedia except about a cave in Utah. In the old newspapers I found that they did the snake dance that involved eagle feathers and holding a snake in their mouth (Tribe of Dan sign).

Therefore the Jesus like Pahana will return maybe wearing a red cap like Santa does.

Phrygian Cap

The ancient Freeman or Phrygian cap is also known as the Liberty cap and it is the Roman symbol of freedom and liberty. It is shown in the heraldry below. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrygian_cap I could not find the Phrygian cap being used anywhere overseas. All the countries below were Caucasian countries, at one time, you can tell by the heraldry in coat of arms. Santa means holy saint in Latin and he wore one. Regarding the vase below, there is a place called Grecia in Costa Rica and one in Columbia also. This Freeman cap is part of the Americas history.
