“It is axiomatic Jesus the Christ was associated with the sun and assumed most of the attributes of the solar gods of antiquity. We can understand this better with reference to the solar nativity. The birthday of Horus in his solar aspect was December 25th. That day is the first day after the winter solstice on December 21st that the sun begins to ascend toward its zenith at the summer solstice on June 21st. Certain non-Gospel traditions place the birthplace of Jesus in a cave and metaphorically speaking, the nadir of the sun at the winter solstice is termed ‘the cave’. The sun begins to rise from its ‘cave’ around midnight on the eve of December 25th and can be said to be ‘born in a cave’. Between 2410 and 255 B.C., on the morning of December 25th, the constellation Virgo, ‘the Virgin’, was on the eastern horizon as the sun rose and so the sun could be said to have been ‘born of the Virgin’. These dates precede the rise of historic Christianity and the celestial allegory applies, at this juncture in time, to Horus, the solar prototype. In light of this, the undeniable solar character of Jesus Christ becomes all the more evident when we take into account that the later Christian fathers changed the original birthdate of Jesus on January 6 to December 25. The astronomical character of the Nativity is given further substance by consideration of the star Sirius, which is the brightest star in the heavens….” Charles S.
