*Ø* Blogmanac | Similarities of ancient gods to Jesus

New page posted at the Scriptorium
Well, it's not exactly new, but much updated, and I've given it its own space – it used to live on the Christmas folklore page. This page is an ongoing project: a comparison of various ancient gods with Jesus Christ. It looks at who was born of a virgin, who was called "Light of the World", who was crucified or "hung on a tree" for enlightenment, and so on. Here's a snippet:

"Krishna was born of the virgin Devaki in a cave, which at the time of his birth was miraculously illuminated. The cow-herds adored his birth. King Kansa sought the life of the Indian Christ by ordering the massacre of all male children born during the same night ..."

"Mithras was known as: Saviour; Son of God; Redeemer; Lamb of God; the Way, the Truth and the Light; Messiah."

"In the catacombs at Rome today can be found pictures of the baby Horus being held by the Virgin Isis-Meri in what scholars have claimed is the original 'Madonna and Child'."


I'm continually adding to this page, so you can come back and drop in from time to time. I hope you enjoy Gods and saviours and their similarities to Jesus Christ.
