Funny I should read this today, my girls are reading about the Persians at the moment, and they have a very similar story to the Jesus story.

It's been an interesting experience teaching the girls all these Greek, Roman, Egyptian gods and all the similarities that run through it, especially as we're in one of the most Catholic countries in the world and have had to resist their indoctrination from family members since birth!

Today's horoscope matches the zodiac 2,000 years ago. Back then the sun was in Virgo in September, which meant that Virgo reappeared in the night sky in December. Nine months before the winter solstice is the vernal equinox, named for Venus, the goddess of pregnancy.
