maybe a bit of research for all of you is neededTo understand the ancient Sun symbolism is to understand the major religions. In the ancient world they used one particular symbol (see Figure 13) for the Sun’s journey through the year. As we will see in a later chapter, this is still a fundamental symbol used by the Babylonian Brotherhood. It symbolised both the Phoenician depictions of
Barati and was on the shield of her British expression, Britannia. The ancients took the circle of the zodiac (a Greek word meaning animal circle) and inserted a cross to mark the four seasons. At the centre of the cross, they placed the Sun. So many of the pre- Christian deities were said to have been born on December 25th because of this symbolism. On December 2lst-22nd, you have the winter solstice when, in the northern
hemisphere, the Sun is at the lowest point of its power in the annual cycle. The Sun, the ancients said, had symbolically ‘died’. By December 25th, the Sun had demonstrably begun its symbolic journey back to the summer and the peak of its power. The ancients, therefore, said that the Sun was ‘born’ on December 25th.The Christian Christmas is merely a renamed Pagan festival, as indeed are all Christian festivals.
Yes the sun is very important in any religion, it has a important role in every religion. It was worshipped in the ancient aryan religion, where any other religion is believed to came from or have something to do with. Its from here that Hitler toke the swastika symbol, it represents the sun, but he misinterpreted it and used it for bad purposes. In Jainism the swastika is the only symbol they use, its also a luck symbol, and represents the creation too. Its believed that so many religions give a important role to the sun because they came from the aryan religion.
