E 'now anyone know that the exact date of Christmas seems to be different at all, neither by day or by month or by year, with what we used to celebrate, and that the 25 December in the year 753 since the founding of Rome, the year the monaco Dionysius (or Dionysus) was the Little place like that early Common Era.
If there are problems on the year already readily surmountable, ddirittura for the month and the day the company becomes pressochhé difficult to impossible.
Many scholars have attempted to answer Final questions to one of the most expensive in the history of all time: When Jesus was born really ?
Everyone knows that the current festival overlapped, to replace it altogether (like many other Christian holidays !) At a party the previous Roman, pagan-style: the dies natalis Solis Invicti; and who if not the Christ, the Sun of Righteousness Novello, could be celebrated on this day, which already saw the birth of Sol Invictus, that others had not, in the Roman world, except that the Indo-Persian god, named Mitra and appealed to the Savior, born of a virgin, had 12 disciples, had died at 33 years and was resurrected after three days to give, with the mystery cults with which he was adored, the hope of new life to his followers? This cult, in fact (Mithraism) was the most competitive to Christianity, reaching fon Dervisi syncretism.
For more this date (or at least this time of year, or that of the winter solstice, the sun quad, that is, seems to repeat the force that had gradually lost) is associated with a surprising (but then so when you consider that many are identified, in all religions, the sun, which is not won nothing, not even by death, is a source of hope for life!) the birth of various gods, and not only in contexts geographical contiguity & had continuity with the Jewish world.
Just mo 'sample quote the Sumerian-Akkadian god Sama / Utu, the Babylonian god back (also Akkadian-Sumerian) Dumuzi / Tammuz , the Syrian god Adonis ( for which William WILLIAMSON [pseudonym W. SCOTT-ELLIOT] in Supreme Law: Study on the origins of religions and their basic unit , writes: "... some of early Fathers of the Christian Church, argue that the cave of Bethlehem, which celebrated the mysteries of Adonis, it was that Jesus was born "), the Egyptian god Gold (shown in arms of his mother, the goddess Isis [de]), the Egyptian god Osiris ( de) (father of the former, who also died & rose again), the greek-roman god Dionysus / Bacchus , the Norse god Freyr (which means Lord); the Mayan god Bacab (which was thought given birth to a virgin named Chiribirias ), the Mayan god Kukulkan, the god Quiché Guku matz (identified with the previous year), the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl (also, in turn, identified with the previous), the Aztec god (Huitzil) opochtli ; the Inca god ( With Tique) Vira Cocha (also appealed inter alia Lord, and for which it is to be noted that the celebration of his birth was always celebrated on the occasion one of the winter solstice, but that being in the southern hemisphere, and not, as for the people to Relate gods above, in the northern hemisphere, this was done on June 24!).
For others, the date of the death of Christ (and therefore of resurrection!) Were subjected to careful analysis by scholars of what we may make them the subject of our involvement in other occasion.
Following a thorough study on the sacred texts and comparative coll'osservazione of past astronomical events (comets, supernovae , astral conjunctions, & c.), associated to the astronomical phenomenon known as Star of Bethlehem (and improperly called Stella Comet), with the aid of computer equipment, a scholar, an astrophysicist Michael R. MOLNAR , after numerous assumptions previously made by several scholars & varied, all equally interesting and suggestive as valid, seems to have befallen the conclusion that the most likely date of the event that would transform history, to the point of identifying a first and in a later, would be the 17th day of April of 6 BC!
How himself in his book The Star of Bethlehem: The Legacy of the Magi back, everything is began in the purest style 'Indiana' Jones ", from a Roman coin of ANTIOCH HIA, which displays the ram Ram, a symbol of the Jewish people and a symbol of the constellation of the same name where indicated and celestial phenomena are compatible New Testament with the story of ' Apostle & Evangelist St. Matthew .
The further confirmation of his hypothesis had to learn that the astronomical conditions that day were considered, by Julius Firmicus BREAST, a Roman rhetorician & astrologer, announcing the birth under the sign of the Israelites, a being immortal, divine & powerful.
is why today we wish to address our wishes, aware as we are, to commemorate 2014 years from now!
In closing: the Nativity by Giotto di Bondone prototype cometary hypothesis.
