“Nothing in Christianity is original. The pre-Christian God Mithras – called the Son of God and the Light of the World – was born on December 25, died, was buried in a rock tomb, and then resurrected in three days. By the way, December 25 is also the birthday of Osiris, Adonis, and Dionysus. The newborn Krishna was presented with gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Even Christianity’s holy day was stolen from the pagans.â€Â[/quote]
I firmly believe all of the above. December 25 is the solstice, and it was also the date of the Roman Saturnalia.
I am not certain that Constantine and his mother Helena were all that inventive, but certainly someone of that period was.
