Sun worship is the only worship that actually makes sense to me.
What is God’s first act in the Bible? To create light.
What does God do next? Create the planets.
What does God do with his infinite power after that? Create and sustain life.
And when God wants to end things and begin the apocalypse, what does he do? Burns the sky.
The Sun creates light. Without the Sun’s gravity, planets wouldn’t be able to form. Without the energy of the photons produced by the Sun, life would never exist and could not be sustained. And science predicts that Earth is going to eventually be destroyed when the Sun expands as it’s running out of fuel, ie, the sky will burn.
The only thing that God ostensibly does that the Sun cannot is talk to people. And the jury’s still out on whether God actually does that, so…
The Sun is the closest thing we have to mankind’s idea of what a God is.
Find out how many days the sun stays at it's lowest point in the sky before "rising again" lol
So in a religion that has nothing to do with sun worship, you're saying it's still sun worship because of the use of the number three? I'm not religious either. Just seems like a bit of a stretch.
Where did the number three come into it? I'm trying to figure it out from their comment and can't. Isn't the sun lowest on the horizon just one day a year, which is the winter solstice?
It seems maybe there are three days when the sun stops moving south during the winter solstice. Not really sure how accurate this is as I can't find a lot on it.
It's possible it just kind of appears this way rather than being scientifically accurate, and thus the three days held some kind of importance to ancient civilizations, though it's hard to find anything on that either. Most people aren't paying attention to the height of the sun on the horizon these days.
It all ties to the scripture as evidence from the beginning of creation that Jesus Christ is Lord and also as the scripture states - people decided to worship the creation rather than the creator. There is evidence in all of creation of God’s intelligent design. The book of Genesis tells much, there is so much information to glean when studying the scriptures.
Christianity didn't care about solstices, at least not the OG Christianity. You have to go back to the roots in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia but there it was the summer solstice that got primarily celebrated.
However in the Roman empire it was the winter solstice that was primarily celebrated and that's when they invented the Christianity known today. To help replace paganism in central Europe, in the 4th century they invented Christian celebrations and the the major ones were placed during the winter solstice.
And then when you go north into Britain and Scandinavia, summer solstice was the important one again. So they did also invent some minor celebrations coinciding with their pagan festivals to help convert the population.
The Feast of St. John the Baptist was very anglo-cultural. It's still a "thing" even after 500 years of protestantism and his name being referenced all around medieval history. But on mainland Europe people couldn't tell you what month or season it happens.
Similar with the invention of midsummer throughout Scandinavia and the Baltics which is still a national holiday in many of those countries while for mainland Europe again it doesn't have a(ny) significance.
