Life Is A Dream To Work On
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIONYSOS!
December 25th is a diffuse birth date for many gods and sons of gods.
Dionysus or in Lat. Bacchus is thought of as being Greek, but he is a remake of the Egyptian god Osiris, whose cult extended throughout a large part of the ancient world for thousands of years. Dionysuss religion was well-developed in Thrace, northeast of Greece, and Phrygia, which became Galatia, where Attis also later reigned. Although a Dionysus is best remembered for the rowdy celebrations in his name, which was Latinized as Bacchus, he had many other functions and contributed several aspects to the Jesus character:
–Dionysus was born of a virgin on December 25 and, as the Holy Child, was placed in a manger.
–He was a traveling teacher who performed miracles.
–He rode in a triumphal procession on an ***.
–He was a sacred king killed and eaten in an eucharistic ritual for fecundity and purification.
–Dionysus rose from the dead on March 25.
–He was the God of the Vine, and turned water into wine.
–He was called King of Kings and God of Gods.
–He was considered the Only Begotten Son, Savior, Redeemer, Sin Bearer, Anointed One, and the Alpha and Omega.
–He was identified with the Ram or Lamb.
–His sacrificial title of Dendrites or Young Man of the Tree intimates he was hung on a tree or crucified.

Hello Georgios,
It is well known that in most of the Mythologies around the world there is always a child that was born by a virgin and he was the son of a God. Greek Mythology could not but to have a similar myth. Although we never can separate the myth by the truth.
Have a healthy and wealthy New Year.
Love,
Dimitra
