See Easter and Spring Solstice as well. Pagan god of the wood is another (dies and is born again), some parts of the ancient Egyptian gods plus plenty more I'm not bothered listing. Christianity basically became a hodge podge of all the old European Religions as the Romans looked for religious control of their empire and adapted their pet faith to suit different tribes.
Esther was someones godess of new life, birth etc - hence Easter.
Yep the Christians just tried to stamp out all the pagan fun and make it religious :(

They did what all new religions did in them days...take over existing beliefs and celebration days to make the transition as seamless as possible seeing as 95% of the population couldn't read or write.

While executing everyone that disagreed with the rebranding :), yep true enough, it's still done nowadays actually, the Nazis stole the swastika from a Hindu symbol for example.

Did Jesus' Mam and Dad Keep it all because he never had a penny, (otherwise he would have been in Armani instead of sack cloth.)
His Mam and dad must have been right tight bastards not giving him owt.
Yeah; like an angel is going to go anywhere near Crawley.Henkeman said:chabal said:Imagine the conversation;
"Mum, I'm pregnant."
"You've been fucking that c**t Joseph haven't you. Your Dad will go ballistic. He hates that wood turning freak."
"No Mum, we haven't had full sex yet although he did finger me once and I gave him a hand shandy on the back of his mule."
"You've not had full sex yet you re pregnant? I wasn't born yesterday but your father is thick as pigshit. Tell him you were visited by an angel. The idiot might just fall for that."
"Thanks Mum"
Don't mock, girls in Crawley use this excuse all the time.
