Happy Birthday

I had wanted to put a list together like Edwin Kagin did, but didn't find the time. You should go check his post from December 22.

As I wrote on my blackboard this morning,

Happy Birthday to:

Horus 3000 BCE,
Osiris 3000 BCE,
Attis of Phyrgia 1400 BCE,
Mithra of Persia 600 BCE,
Dionysus 186 BCE,
Tammuz 400 BCE,
Adonis 200 BCE,
Hermes,
Bacchus (crucified in 200 BCE),
Prometheus,

and...

last but not least....


Jesus of Nazareth somewhere between 8 BCE & 6 CE



Merry Mithrasmas everyone! I hope you have a wonderful day whether you celebrate at this time of year or not.
