In mythology as well as religions of the world there are miraculas interposition into the birth symbology that can led one to believe that not all mythology and birth's of religions are separate entities unto themselves.

The main Christian doctrines and festivals, including a great mass of affiliated legend and ceremonial, are really quite directly derived from and related to preceding Nature worships. It has only been by a good deal of deliberate mystification and falsification that this derivation has been kept out of sight.

The whole subject is a very large one, with each stage filling antiquity volumes. At the time of the life or recorded appearance of Jesus of Nazareth and for some centuries before, the Mediterranean and neighboring world had been on the scene through a vast number of Pagan creeds and rituals. There were temples without end dedicated to the Gods like Apollo or Dionysus found among the Greeks, Hercules among the Romas, Mithra among the Persians, Adonis and Attis in Syria, and Phyrgia, Osiris, Isis, and Horus in Egypt and Baal and Astarte in the Babylonians and Carthaginians regions; the list could go on and on.

Societies whether large or small united believers and the devout in the service or ceremonials connected with their respective deities, and in the creeds which they confessed concerning these deities. Extraordinarily an interesting fact is that notwithstanding great geographical distances and racial differences between the adherents of the these various religious view, as well as differences in the details of their services, the general outlines of their creeds and ceremonials were so markedy similar as we find them.

It would be out of the scope of this work to go into length as to these different religions, however, it can be said that all or nearly all the deities above mentioned it is found to have have believed in that of:

1.They were born on or very near modern day Christmas
2.They were born of a Virgin Mother
3.They were born in a cave or underground chamber
4.They led a life of toil for mankind
5.They were all called by the names of Light bringer, Healer, Mediator, Savior, Deliver
6.They were however vanquished by the power of darkness
7.They descended into Hell or the Underworld
8.They rose again from the dead and became the pioneers of mankind into the Heavenly world
9.They founded Communions of Saints and Churches into which disciples were received by Baptism
10.They were commemorated by Eucharistic meals.
