The date of December 25th probably originated with the ancient "birthday" of the son-god, Mithra, a pagan deity whose religious influence became widespread in the Roman Empire during the first few centuries A.D. Mithra was related to the Semitic sun-god, Shamash, and his worship spread throughout Asia to Europe where he was called Deus Sol Invictus Mithras. Rome was well-known for absorbing the pagan religions and rituals of its widespread empire. As such, Rome converted this pagan legacy to a celebration of the god, Saturn, and the rebirth of the sun god during the winter solstice period. The winter holiday became known as Saturnalia and began the week prior to December 25th. The festival was characterized by gift-giving, feasting, singing and downright debauchery, as the priests of Saturn carried wreaths of evergreen boughs in procession throughout the Roman temples.
Jesus was not born on December 25th. He was 33 1/2 when he died on Nisan 14 which is in April. Do the math.

we were waiting for Kiet so we could leave for the tournament, but he was cooking breakfast for his brother or something. His brother's got him wearing the assless chaps again.

a bigoted soap dodging "peepul". very familiar with beastiality, shagging his daughter when his mum, and 50 sisters are on the rag, shouting no surrender, 1690, can always be seen with the obligitory rangers chain, the usual loyalist tattoos, and with the the obvious body odour it looks like its maybe time their love for Queen and country was repayed with communal showers or maybe if they take the roof off ibrox we can get them all together and blew them to smithereens.
