December 25th - The Sun

Sun resembling God
Many religious beliefs include the worship of sun. In Hinduism , the sun was worshiped with horse.
Why were so many ancient gods born on December 25th, the winter solstice?
The December 25th birthday of the Sun God is a common story worldwide, dating back at least 12,000 years, as reflected in winter solstice scenes recorded in caves. Around the world beginning thousands of years ago, people have celebrated the birth of the god "Sol" (Sun) to the "Queen of Heaven," the "Celestial Virgin." The winter solstice has been celebrated in many places, from China to the Americas.

Ancient Greeks celebrated the birthday of Hercules and Dionysus on this date of December 25th. The "Christmas" festival was celebrated at Athens and was called "the Lenaea," during which time, apparently, "the death and rebirth of the harvest infant Dionysus were similarly dramatized." This Lenaea festival is depicted in an Aurignacian cave painting in Spain (34,000-23,000 Before Present), with a "young Dionysus with huge genitals," standing naked in the middle of "nine dancing women." The Romans celebrated the famed festival of "Saturnalia" at this time.

The Greco-Syrian sun god Adonis was also born on December 25th, a festival "spoken of by Tertullian, Jerome, and other Fathers of the Church, who inform us that the ceremonies took place in a cave, and that the cave in which they celebrated his mysteries in Bethlehem, was that in which Christ Jesus was born."

December 25 as divine, holy, spiritual

First of all, the birth sequence is completely astrological:
The star in the east is Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky which on December 24th aligns with the three brightest stars in Orion's belt.

These three bright stars in the Orion's belt are called today what they were called in ancient times - the Three Kings. And the Three Kings and the brightest star – Sirius all point at the place of the sunrise on December 25th.This is why the Three Kings follow the star in the east - in order to locate the sunrise, the birth of the Sun.

The Virgin Mary is the constellation Virgo, also known as Virgo the Virgin.
Virgo in Latin means Virgin. The ancient glyphe for Virgo is the altered M.
This is why Mary along with other virgin mothers,such as Adonis's mother Myrra or Budha's mother Maya begin with an M.
Virgo was also referred to as the House of Bread
and the representation of Virgo is a virgin holding a sheaf of wheat.
This house of bread and its symbol of wheat represents August and September, the time of harvest.
In turn, Bethlehem in fact literally translates to "house of bread". Bethlehem is thus a reference to the constellation Virgo - a place in the sky, not on earth.

There's another very interesting phenomenon that occurs around December 25th or the winter solstice. From the summer solstice to the winter solsticethe days become shorter and colder. And from the perspective of the northern hemisphere, the Sun appears to move south and gets smaller and more scarce. The shortening of the days and expiration of the crops when approaching the winter solstice symbolized the process of death to the ancients. It was the death of the Sun. And by December 22nd the Sun's demise was fully realized.
For the Sun having moved south continually for six months makes it to its lowest point in the sky.
Here a curious thing occurs: The Sun stops moving south, at least perceivably, for three days.
And during this three day pause, the Sun resides in the vicinity of the Southern Cross, or Crux constellation. And after this time, on December 25th, the Sun moves one degree, this time north foreshadowing longer days, warmth and spring. Resembling as giving the world a new light..
And thus it was said: Holy 25^th December… The day dedicated to the Lord !!
