Ok, so back to Mithra/Christmas.
Zoroastrianism was the first religion to be Monotheist, because Zoroaster took all the powers from all the Gods and gave them to 1 God. But that started 3000 Years ago, and since then Mithra has made his way in to a higher position. Zoroastrianism was not only the first religion to have 1 main God, but it was also the first religion to have a constant war between Good and Evil. Today, the Zoroastrian Fire Temple is called "The Court of Mithra" and the Priests are given a Mithraic mace with 100 edges.
Mithra himself is seen as Between Light and Dark, a Path of Liberation. And Mithra's name itself has 3 meanings in Farsi. Mithra is Love, Mithra is the Sun, and Mithra is Friend.
The Mandrake plant is known as "Mithra's Plant". This is the plant from Harry Potter that had screaming babies for roots. In real life they have roots like kind of look like little people, and in Medeival Europe they used to think that the plants actually had screaming babies on them. They would tie a dog to the plant and cover their ears, then make the Dog pull the plant out and get the curse from hearing the scream. That was not just made up for Harry Potter, people actually used to think that. Mandrake is a Sedative and Poison.
Mithra can be found in Chinese mythology as "the Friend" and there is a possible link between Mithra and the "Last Buddha" or the "Buddha of the Future" who is the embodiment of love and is known as "Maitreya".
