What goes around comes around "Merry Mithrakana"
Zarathushtra was born around 1400 BCE. As a young boy he was interested in nature and wanted to know as to how the world was created. His search for creation and the creator lead him to God with whom he communed after several years of meditation. When he was 30 years old, he introduced a religion known today as Zoroastrianism. The ancient Greeks knew Zarathushtra as Zoroaster and hence his followers are called Zoroastrians. Some followers who live in India prefer to be called Zarathustis.
This is the story he told of the birth/return of their savior, Mithra
Mithra went to heaven until he returned a savior for all of mankind. A star fell from the sky when Mithra was born. Sheperds witnessed the birth and Zoroastrian priests called "Magi" followed the star to worship him. They brought golden crowns to their newborn "King of Kings". His birth was celebrated on Dec. 25 and was called the "Mithrakana."
