            Around March 20 (Spring Equinox) Osiris was killed by Set, and revived by his sister/wife Isis.  Osiris and Isis mated, and returned to Egypt.  Set killed Osiris the second time and dismembered his body.  This is the separation of a Month into 30 days, as Osiris represented the Moon.  He died during a Blood Moon. Osiris reincarnated into the womb of Isis as her only Son, Horus, who was born 9 months later in December. 

          December 21-22 is the Winter Solstice, or the Death of Ra the Sun-God/Creator, the longest night of the year.  Ra rose from the dead 3 days later (same as Jesus during Spring Equinox) on December 25.  That is the same day as Western Christmas, the birth or rebirth of Christ.  Horus was born on December 25 as Ra-Horus the rebirth of Osiris. 

          Christ means Burial in Egyptian language as people usually refer to the dead as “The Osiris” or “The Justified (Ma'ahrw).”  Some say Christ was born in a cave, others in a Manger at Bethlehem.  Both are correct.  Bethlehem meant “House of Bread” in Hebrew.  In Egyptian it is the word for Mansion. 

          The Mansion of Eternity is the tomb in Egypt, whose exterior resembles a cave.   Most Egyptian tombs are rock-cut limestone caves; others are made of sun-dried clay bricks.  The Manger is the stone Sarcophagus where the coffin is placed; it resembles a horse trough (Manger).  The Manger is also a Star Constellation like Virgo the Virgin (the comet appearing to go from Virgo to the Manger).  The dead were wrapped in linen strips, or “Swaddling clothes.”  The dead were also “anointed with perfumed oils” as Mummies.  The Christ is “the Anointed One.”

          In the Old Kingdom era, the dead were positioned in the Sarcophagus in a “Fetal position” like a newborn infant, ready for rebirth.  Offerings of “Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh” were common in Egyptian tombs.  Gold identified the dead with Ra, and incense was burned at funerals in the Temples.  To receive these offerings every year resembles Tribute to a Pharaoh. 

          The Sarcophagus was pulled by 12 men of the royal house on a sled across the sandy terrain in Egypt (Tomb of Tutankhamon), like Santa Claus and his sleigh.  The Mummy contained valuable amulets of semi-precious stones; the mummy was a “wrapped present.”  

 

          The Christmas tree is the Tree of Osiris or the Tree of Life since Osiris is the God of Life in Egypt.  Gifts are placed at its base as they were placed near statues as offerings in Egyptian Temples.  The tree is also a Djed Pillar, and the raising of the Djed is like the raising up of a Christmas tree. 

          The Festival of Hathor’s Intoxication occurs around December 25.  People exchanged wrapped gifts and drank alcohol in the Festival.  The Festival refers to the Egyptian story of the Heavenly Cow or “the Destruction of Mankind.”  Humanity was rebelling against Ra, making comments that he was nothing more than a statue.  Ra ordered his Eye of Ra to destroy the people with Hurricanes and devouring them.   The Eye of Ra is Sakhmet/Hathor (depending on Mood, Hathor is the peaceful personality).  Then after seeing the destruction Ra was content.  Ra ordered the Eye of Ra to return, but she didn’t hear him.  Ra descended to Earth (in his boat, the Ark of Noah) and mixed crushed Mandrakes with the Flood Waters so she would drink it and become intoxicated and stop the bloodshed.  This was the last time Ra would allow Sakhmet to devour the living, the “Last Supper of Christ.”  Jesus once made wine from water as a “Miracle.” 

          Mandrakes are a poisonous Narcotic fruit found in Egypt, and is mixed with vinegar or old wine.  It causes hallucinations, delusions, sleep, or even death in large amounts.  It is mainly a pain-killer.  Christ drank “vinegar on the cross,” which contained Mandrakes leftover from the Last Supper.  He then passed out on the Cross, was removed and placed into the tomb, and awoke (“resurrected”) a few days later from his drug overdose.   He then sought out his followers to tell them he has risen from the dead.  He was visible for 40 days and ascended to Heaven; Mummies take 40 days to embalm and the soul ascends to Heaven during the Night Boat ritual once the Mummy is wrapped. 

          Once Sakhmet was intoxicated she turned back into Hathor and returned to Heaven with Ra.
