Re: da

Many faiths personified the sun as a god/goddess and I think some midwinter festivals celebrated specific myths of those figures as part of those ceremonies. Death and rebirth as concepts seem to be fairly attached to certain astrological events, particular midwinter, probably for obvious reasons, and many central or close to central mythological figures go through cycles of death/rebirth as part of their mythology.

Which isn't saying specific ceremonies are borrowing off that, no. I'll be honest, I don't have the knowledge or evidence of specific ceremonies to examine that. But there probably is some reason to think that death/rebirth figures in various mythologies have some form of connection to each other, and possibly originally to the astrological seasonal cycles.

Mind you, in Christianity that doesn't fit so well, if only because the death/rebirth festival (Easter) is tied to the spring equinox, while the birth festival (Christmas) is connected to midwinter.

You are making my point for me, anon. More clearly than I did. :)

:) I get around to things eventually. I've just got to stumble around for a while first.

There's links there, though. You can see there are some connections, echoes of concepts. It's just direct correlations we're lacking.
