&lt;p&gt;Pagan Origin of Days of the Week, Word Etiology&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Many of the names of the days of the week in English are come from Norse and Germanic gods and the goddess of love; Thor, Odin, Fryia &amp;amp; Tyr. &lt;/p&gt;

            <description>    &lt;p&gt;Easter comes from the east, and refers to Sunrise on the morning of the spring equinox.&amp;#160; On this day, our star, the Sun, crosses the celestial equator.&amp;#160; The Sun has an apparent path through the sky, the ecliptic.&amp;#160; On this path the background stars are moving apparently because Earth orbits the Sun once every 365 1/4 days.&amp;#160; The celestial equator is the extension of Earth&amp;#39;s equator into the heavens.&amp;#160; When Jesus Sun of God crosses this line His Heart is pierced and He is &lt;em&gt;crucified&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;#160; It is the moment of Equality when Hermaphroditus rules and Christ&amp;#39;s Blood spills to Earth.&amp;#160; From this day forth, Good reigns over Evil until December 22nd.&amp;#160; Good vs Evil, Light vs Darkness is an ancient motif predating Christianity.&amp;#160; However, when sees what is hidden in plain view (&lt;em&gt;Sun&lt;/em&gt;day, Christmas, St John&amp;#39;s Day...) Christianity and paganism are identical.&amp;#160; The mass confusion starts in 325AD...and has led to other large scale deceptions such as Thomas Jefferson appearing on the two dollar Federal Reserve Note in the 20th-century.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A review of Mithraic Mysteries. by Nabarz. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;WITH holy voice I call the stars on high, Pure sacred lights and genii of the sky. Celestial stars, the progeny of Night, In whirling circles beaming far your light, Refulgent rays around the heav&amp;#39;ns ye throw, Eternal fires, the source of all below. With flames significant of Fate ye shine, And aptly rule for men a path divine. In seven bright zones ye run with wand&amp;#39;ring flames, And heaven and earth compose your lucid frames: With course unwearied, pure and fiery bright Forever shining thro&amp;#39; the veil of Night. Hail twinkling, joyful, ever wakeful fires! Propitious shine on all my just desires; These sacred rites regard with conscious rays, And end our works devoted to your praise. -Hymns of Orphus.&lt;/p&gt;
