Easter, History of, Meaning, Traditions

HOWEVER, There is a relationship between astro-theology and Easter. (It just has nothing to do with Jesus).

ALL ancient religions had similar traditions, all based upon Astro-theology. And the relationship to Easter is that the sun was "resurrected" to its highest point in the equatorial sky (March 21st). Then, it continued to "grow" past the equator (So, that would appear "higher" to us in the Northern Hemisphere) until Summer solstice, after which it began to wane lower and lower in the heavens. The sun "dies" on December 22nd (winter solstice) and remains "dead" for three days, after which it is reborn and begins to rise again from the "grave" until Easter (spring equinox). Now, some people (for their nefarious purposes) will try to twist (i.e., gaslight) you into believing that Jesus was just one of these mythological sun-gods, because they have similarities; but here's the irony; THEY DON'T HAVE SIMILARITIES!!!

Please don't get me wrong. I absolutely love mythology. I have a passion for it. My website is full of mythology, but most of it can be found on my science page (which explains how mythology is just science disguised in personification). And, I credit the ancients for being a lot more intelligent than scholars give them credit ('cause the scholars just don't get it).

Since I am autistic and I'm all about TRUTH, I have done as much research as I could and hope to elucidate the TRUTH below. I debunk any alleged connections to Jesus. See the chart below. (Please NOTE that Dionysus, Mithra, and Balder are all solar deities who died on December 22nd, and their resurrection began on December 25th and was completed by March 21st. This is the personification of the sun getting higher and higher in the sky and the days getting longer and longer.) Jesus died during Passover, which is in the spring. There is absolutely no relationship.

Sun God of Egypt	Birth	Virgin Mother?	Disciples?	Death	Rebirth / Resurrection?
Horus Horus (the younger) was symbolized by a falcon. That is because Horus (as the sun) flies across the sky each day.	False teachers will have you believe that Horus was born on Dec.25th Heralded by a star in the East and adored by 3 kings. I cannot verify such claims in any valid source. Nor, do they quote their sources, so I have to accept the possibility that they just made it all up to confuse people, or worse yet, to derail people from the TRUTH.	False teachers say that Isis was a Virgin when she gave birth to Horus. My research clearly shows otherwise, i.e., that Horus was the son of Isis and the resurrected... Osiris: click on image to learn more	Some claim that Horus had 12 disciples; performed miracles, such as healing the sick and walking on water. I cannot verify such claims in any valid source. ...because they do not quote their sources.	False teachers will have you believe that Horus was crucified, Dec.22nd, buried, and remained buried for 3 days. No where can I verify this in a valid source.	False teachers will have you believe that Horus was resurrected by Isis. The resurrection allegedly began on Dec.25th, and ended on the Spring Equinox. Since Horus never died, why would he need to be resurrected? The fact is that Osiris (who is green) died in the winter and was resurrected in the Spring. Osiris personified all green plants. < - Osiris (Notice how Osiris is green?)
God Vishnu (of India) in the flesh	Birth	Virgin Mother?	Disciples?	Death	Rebirth / Resurrection?
Krishna	False teachers will have you believe that Krishna's birth was heralded by a star in the East. There was a star mentioned at Krishna's birth: called "Rohini". It was prominent in the sky at the birth of Krishna. But, the location in the sky is not mentioned. Source: Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (1970, p.35)	False teachers will have you believe that Krisha was born of a virgin. In fact, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (1970, p.42) clearly writes that "to appear in the material world, the Lord selected his mother and father. Whenever the Lord comes as a human being, He must have a mother and a father."	False teachers will have you believe that Krishna had 12 disciplines. No where can I verify this.	False teachers will teach that Krishna was killed and resurrected. In fact, Krishna was killed by an arrow by a man who mistook Krishna for a sleeping deer. Source: Wikipedia No resurrection is ever mentioned. Vishnu just exited Krishna's body and went back to being a spirit.	False teachers will have you believe that Krishna was resurrected (and at Easter time no less). I do not believe this is true. Krishna may have reincarnated at a later time, but he was NOT resurrected. Furthermore, it is my very strong opinion that the Krishna story is an allegory. And, I do not believe that Krishna was a solar deity. The word Krishna means 'black' or 'dark blue'.
Sun God of Greece	Birth	Virgin Mother?	Disciples?	Death	Rebirth / Resurrection?
Dionysus	Dec.25th Yes. This is true. Jesus was not born on December 25th, although that is when we celebrate his birth.	False teachers will have you believe that Dionysus was born of a virgin, named Semele. In fact, Zeus (representing Light) was the father, and Semele (representing Matter) was the mother.	???	Gave his life on Dec.22nd, and his "blood" became the juice of the grapes of the field. Yes. This is true, figuratively speaking.	Yes! The resurrection or rebirth of Dionysus (a solar deity) started on December 25th (the end of the winter solstice) and was complete by March 21st (spring equinox).

Mithra	Dec.25th Source	False teachers would have you believe that Mithra was born of a Virgin, named Anahita. That's just not true. Mithra was born from a cave. Learn more.	False teachers would have you believe that Mithra had 12 disciples. Because Mithraism was a secret cult, there is very little information out there. What I could amass about it is on my website, but nowhere does anything mention 12 disciples.	December 22nd.	Reborn on December 25th.

Baldr AKA: Balder Etymologically meaning: Shiny, Gleaming, Blazing Source	Date not given.	False teachers would have you believe that Baldr was born of the virgin Frigga. That is completely false.

It took Hermod 9 days to enter the Underworld and find Balder, and another 9 days to come back out again. Balder's resurrection took a long time. He wasn't fully resurrected until March 21st (spring equinox).

Did you know that the rapture is real--it means death of the body.
