Why does the story of Mithras so closely parallel that of Jesus? 

1) Born on 25 December.

2) Born of a virgin.

3) Born in a cave and attended by shepherds and wise men who gave him gifts.

4) The Son of God and intermediary between God and humanity.

5) Regarded as a “King” and Saviour who shed eternal blood.

6) Said to have sacrificed himself to save humanity.

7) Celibate.

8) Mithras had a Last Supper of bread and wine with his twelve companions.

9) Sunday (the day of the Sun) was his sacred day, not the Sabbath of Yahweh.

10) His followers were baptized.

11) They regarded wine as linked to the sacrificial blood.

12) They called themselves “brothers”.

13) A cross with perpendicular, equidistant arms (the “Greek” cross) was an ancient symbol of the sun. (The Knights Templar used a Greek cross as their central emblem.)

14) The followers of Mithras ate loaves of bread marked by this cross (the prototypes of “hot cross buns”).

Mithras also impregnated a rock and created a new universe out of it.

Did Jesus do the same?
