Jesus Was A Capricorn

Excerpt in “From Bethlehem to Calvary” A.A. Bailey on the five initiations of Christ..

There have been, it is said, one hundred and thirty-six different dates fixed on by different Christian sects.”

“The matter was finally settled by Pope Julius in 337 AD, and St. Chrysostom, writing in 390, says, “On this day (i.e. 25th December) also the birth of Christ was lately fixed at Rome, in order that while the heathen were busy with their ceremonies (the Brumalia, in honour of Bacchus) the Christians might perform their rites undisturbed”.

Yet, the book goes on to state that “The choice of this particular date is cosmic in it’s implications, and not unwittingly, we can be sure, did the wise men of earlier times make these momentous decisions. Annie Besant tells us that:

“He (a Solar God) is always born at the winter solstice, after the shortest day of the year, at the midnight of the 24th December when the sign Virgo is rising above the horizon; born as this Sign is rising, he is born always of a Virgin, and she remains a Virgin unchanged and unsullied when the Sun comes forth from her in the Heavens”.

Century (author) says that “the ancient people of the Anglian nation, by which he means the pagan English before their settlement in Britian about AD 500, began the year on December 25th, when we now celebrate the birthday of our Lord”; and he tells us that the night of December 24th-25th “which is the very night now so holy to us was called in their tongue “Modranecht”, that is to say “Mother’s Night”, by reason of ceremonies which that night long vigil they performed”.

At the time when the English were converted to Christianity in the Sixth and Seventh Centuries the festival of he Nativity on December 25th had been already long established in Rome as a solem celebration.

At the time of the birth of Christ, Sirius, the Star in the East was on the meridian line, Orion called “The Three Kings” (stars in Orion’s belt) was in proximity; therefore the constellation Virgo, the Virgin, was rising in the East , and the line of the ecliptic, of the equator and of the horizon all met in that constellation.

This constellation is also composed of three stars in the shape of a cup. Ths is the true Holy Grail , that which contains the life blood, the repository of the sacred and the holy, and that which conceals divinity. These are astronomical facts”.

I personally have no idea of whence Christ was born. Like Ubs states, historians now say an Aries but the Virgin birth info. is thought provoking and makes sense to the Virgin birth stuff we learn when young.
