Ye Ölde Swedish Traditions aren't very christian generally, though many have been adapted in some way or another, but that can easily be ignored when it can't be avoided!

that particular tradition is christian as fuck, there's no way you can weasel yourself out of this

The first electrical julljusstake was invented by Oscar Andersson in 1934 and he worked for Philips, not Jesus Christ. Pwnd!

Den sjuarmade ljusstaken har sitt ursprung i den bibliska ljusstaken, den s k Menorah på hebreiska (som har funnits sedan Moses tid). Bibeln berättar om hur Gud angav hur den sjuarmade menorah skulle se ut då han instruerade Israels barn att bygga tabernaklet i vildmarken (2 Mos 25:31-40).

För kristna står den sjuarmade ljusstaken dels naturligtvis som symbol för den tro som var Jesu egen, dvs den tro, den uppenbarelse, som Gud gav mänskligheten genom det judiska folket, men man har också lagt in annan symbolik i de sju ljusen: de symboliserar i första hand den heliga Anden och de "sju andliga nådegåvorna". Dessutom har de sju ljusen kommit att symbolisera även annat som bygger på talet sju (som ju anses vara fullkomlighetens, Guds, tal), exempelvis de sju församlingarna i Uppenbarelseboken, de sju skapelsedagarna etc.

Den elektriska ljusstaken anknyter till en gammal svensk tradition att låta ljus brinna i fönstren för att lysa upp julottebesökarnas väg till kyrkan.

Den svenska adventsljusstakens historia börjar på 1870-talet med en adventsgran på Ersta diakonissanstalt i Stockholm. Förebilden hade hämtats från Kaiserwerths diakonissanstalt utanför Dusseldorf i Tyskland. I adventsgranen tändes sju ljus, ett för varje veckodag, under fyra söndagar. Sju barn fick gå fram och tända varsitt ljus och läsa ett bibelspråk.

Ordet advent är en förkortning av latinets adventus Domini - Herrens ankomst.

I have a bad burzum shirt picture that I'd rather people not see, and I'm not true, so your theory is faulty!
