I hope you all had a great Yalda. Now we will have more day light. Let us hope more light shines on the fortunes of Iranian people, where ever we are.

Mitra (Mehr) became Mithras in the Roman Empire. Merchants and soldiers who had contact with our civilization became Mithras worshippers. They celebrated the winter solstice, which is the birth of Mithras, and later when Romans became Christian they gave the date of birth of Mithras and even some of his attributes such as virgin birth, 12 disciples, and resurrection to Jesus.
