I wish you a Merry Consumism!!! eeeehm... I mean, Merry Xmas!!

Oh poor mortals, after more than a month with no posting (I've been so busy, the Master courses finished and now I must to complete projects and literature for delivering them on the second week of the new year...), I've decided to write now, in this so important day...

I wish you, wth all my heart, a merry Day of the Sun God Mitra and... oops I'm sorry :P I wanted to write Christmas but the true myth rose from my fingers XD oh you know, the persian god of the sun:

• origined in the 2nd millenium BC (before Christ!!), and expanded in India and Persia due to oral transmission (that means, no written texts ---until the 2nd century AD---);
• god of the sun, born by a virgin woman (like so many other mythological creatures, like Attis, Dionisos, Heracles, Krishna, Zoroastro ---the babilonian myth deviation of Mitra, if I'm not wrong---, Osiris, and so on; but Mitra is really special...), it had 12 companions.
  
• called The Saviour, Son of God, Lamb of God... the myth tells that it descended from Heaven as a man and saved the Humanity from sins.
• its myth included a dinner, and sunday was the Day of Mitra; besides, its resurrection must be celebrate for each year in days near the actual Easter.
  
• adopted by Roman Empire in the century I BC and extended thourh it within the entire 100-year period (its natural action, achieving a bull, can be seen in the following figure)

• coincidences?, I don't think so... Ok, Jesuchrist is a historical character as a human and initiated, but when he died... well, the myth created around him may be more original, no? :P
• and a curious thing: the bishop hat is called mitra... XD
  

Well, after the today lesson (mwaaahahaha), I only want to wish you, really, a merry christmass to everybody (mortal and no mortal), and I hope this night hawk guy had been benevolent with you :)


But, if you prefer the Three Kings of Orient... well, I hope the yankee army won't kill them in a iraqian check control and the gifts will arrive to your homes XD because, being honest... maybe the soldiers think that the gifts are provisions for the iraqian résistance :P

Bye bye poor mortals, I hope you won't die by shyness and see you next year 2008... because this will mean that I will neither die in middle of food and drinks :P
