    The birthday of Mithra (also known as Mithras), the Persian god of light and wisdom.
    Also Christmas day, a Christian religious observance celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, a character in their mythology which they believe to be the son of their god..The practice of celebrating Christmas on December 25th began in the early 4th century. It was a Christian substitute for the pagan festival held on that date to celebrate the birth of the unconquered Sun. Christmas customs such as Christmas trees, holy and mistletoe have pagan origins - such as celebrating the midwinter festival of Yule. The term Xmas refers to the first letter (chi) of the Greek word, Christos.

    Ambarvalia is the end of May &
    the roots of Stella Maria/Maris (Star of the Sea) are pagan.

    Various google sources indicated the 31st to be a festival of:
    Ceres, Isis, Venus, Hecate (last day of the month) or Proserpine.

    i tried to say sixth sheik sick sixth and so on, 3 times but "shit" kept coming out...is that supposed to happen?
    lol
    it goes along with trying to say that obsurd phrase bahaha

    i just looked up my gregorian birthday on google, but i do not agree with this calander or it's calander markers. i am more interested in learning about the Old Religion. much, much more interested. any required reading? ?!?!

    i think Peter Tompkins new book is gonna kick ass, it's all on this subject, and it's also like 70 some bucks....but well worth it, considering he's the Sherlock Holmes of history and laughs in the face of gregorian whims.
