He was the son of Zeus and SemelÄ•, the daughter of Cadmos and Harmonia. This was another of the affairs of Zeus that infuriated his wife Hera whom tricked SemelÄ• into demanding to see her divine lover in his full splendour. Zeus reluctantly agreed, and when he fully displayed his power his thunderbolt incinerated SemelÄ• to ashes. When sensing what would happen, Zeus immediately seized the child from its mother's body and stitched it into his thigh and at the appropriate time the child emerged perfectly formed. This is the reason the Dionysus became known as twice born. Zeus entrusted him to the care of nurses. Ino, the second wife of King Athamas of Orchomenos, was the first to take care of him. Hoping to divert Hera's jealousy Zeus suggested dressing Dionysus in girl's clothing; but Hera was not fooled and caused both Athamas and Ino to go mad. Athamas killed his younger son, Learchos, by throwing him into a cauldron of boiling hot water, and Ino committed suicide with the elder boy, Melicertes. She threw herself into the sea with him, and later was transformed into the sea-goddess, Leucothea (white goddess), and the child became the little god Palaemon. After this tragedy Zeus placed the child in the care of the nymphs of Mount Nysa, which was often claimed to be upper Armenia, who disguised him as a kid, which may account for the epithet of "kid" later being applied to Dionysus in ritual. According to another tradition, associated with the Greek Orphic mystery cult, Dionysus was born of an incestuous union between the serpentine Zeus and his daughter Persephone. Persephone also was born from such a union between Zeus and Rhea. This serpentine birth of Dionysus has been recognized as important in that the serpent is an arcane symbol of earth and water, both vital to life, and the serpent can penetrate the tomb, and in sloughing its own skin represent the resurrection of the dead. Dionysus' birth has been likened to that of Christ. Dionysus discovered the grapevine and its uses while growing up in the countryside around Mount Nysa. But Hera was not through for him, for she caused him to go mad, and afterwards he wandered about the entire East, which began for Dionysus a series of triumphs. He was purified in Phyrgia by the goddess Cybele, the great goddess of the land, whom the Greeks often identified with Rhea and called the mother of the gods. Her cult was orgiastic, finding expression in violence, and was therefore vaguely connected to the cult of Dionysus. When regaining his sanity Dionysus went to Thrace, but the ruler, Lycurgus, gave him a poor welcome. When the king about imprisoned him, Dionysus fled to Thetis, the Nereid. However, Lycurgus was able to capture the Bacchantes, women who followed the god and celebrated his rites. In return Dionysus made the king go mad, and while thinking he was cutting down a grapevine, Lycurgus severed his own leg with an axe. Further, his kingdom was beset by sterility. And, when an oracle was consulted, it declared that the king should be put to death; so his subjects tore his body to pieces. From Thrace Dionysus went to India, in which he conquered armies that he mustered on his way by the aid of his own spells. With these troops he returned to Greece accompanied by a triumphal procession in a chariot decorated in vine-leaves and drawn by panthers; his escorts were the Seilenoi, Bacchantes, satyrs and other fertility demons, such as the god Priapos. Eventually Dionysus reached Boeotia in Greece, which was his mother's region. It was his wish to introduce Bacchanalia into Thebes, where Pentheus reigned as king. During these revels, the populace, especially the women, went into a sort of a mystic delirium, and ran about the mountainsides shouting and oblivious to all decorum. Pentheus forbade such rites, but he received punishment from his own mother, Agave, in a state of religious fervour, tore him apart with her own hands when mistaking him for a fawn. Dionysus demonstrated his powers in Agros in a similar way. There he drove the two daughters of King Proetos into madness, and they wandered about the countryside thinking they were cows. The seer Melampus cured them, and for this act obtained for himself and his brother Bias two-thirds of the kingdom of Argos. Another tradition attributes the delirium of Proetus' daughters to the wrath of Hera. When Dionysus sought to gain access to Naxos he hired the services of pirates who tried selling him as a slave. The god changed their oars into serpents and filled their vessel with clinging ivy. Becoming afraid the pirates threw themselves into the sea and were transformed into dolphins. As the final episode of his travels, Dionysus descended into the underworld in search of his mother, SemelÄ•. Hades agreed to give SemelÄ• back to Dionysus, and following this she took to the sky assuming the name of ThyonÄ•. Before his return to Olympus, the god abducted the young AriadnÄ•, who was abandoned by Theseus on the island of Naxos, and made her his wife. Warm Regards Georgios Personal http://www.zorpia.com/ZeusTheMaster/journal/1770305 Thu, 31 Jan 2008 08:54 EST CYPRUS IS STILL BLEEDING http://www.zorpia.com/ZeusTheMaster/journal/1705283 <div style="overflow: auto; width: 455px;" class="simpleText">What about CYPRUS Mr Bush?<o:p /> 33 years of tyrannical Occupation!!!<o:p /> <div align="center">Â© Georgios Paraskevopoulos Thirty three years of democracy in Greece but h*ll i Cyprus. </div> Dear friends, I am open to discussion on facts. The President  of USA, Mr Bush is glorious and very proud when he talks about globalization, freedom of speech, democracy, human rights and USA's role to defend the world from terrorism. What About Cyprus Mr Bush? Leader of the Earth, Planetarch, if you don't know where it is here is a map. Not this <div align="center"><img width="408" height="247" src="http://www.kypros.org/CyprusPanel/images/cprob.jpeg" /> </div><div align="center"><div align="left"> But This </div></div><div align="center"><img width="427" height="255" src="http://www.tofocus.info/images/flags/cyprus-flag.gif" />  </div> The Cyprus matter is very sensitive and includes my personal feelings. In all my political articles there have been attacks without a reason. This time I will hit back very hard. I will not delete any reply or attack for having reasons to hit back and that will be in form of eye to eye. <o:p> </o:p> I condemn USA and NATO, the governments in Greece and Turkey, the United Nations and European Union, They are all involved. To have Cyprus separated in two parts was a common plan where USA, Great Britain and their information service together planed and they are also involved in this great conspiracy against the Cypriot People. In hundreds of generations from the ancient ages Cyprus was settled by Hellenic inhabitants and Greeks.<o:p /> Both Greece and Turkey are full members of NATO and UN. Cyprus is strategically a perfect geographic area for militant actions controlling the whole Middle East and South East Mediterranean. USA knew that it was impossible for them to control the island as long as the Cypriots had free elections. The plans on changing Cyprus status are from early sixties. First there had to be a junta to control Greece, because free Greeks would never accept to give Cyprus to the Turks or to make Cyprus a legal center for American bases. Turkey is the American Police man in the area. They never had democracy and if they will have the whole country will collapse. <o:p />The USA government gave orders to the Greek Junta to make a military coup against the legal government in Cyprus to give Turkey the right to make an invasion. The result was the junta fell in Greece. Turkey made the invasion and Cyprus is still crying the loss areas and all killings, rapes, murders and relatives that strangely â€œdisappearedâ€, properties they lost, memories, the bones of their ancestors.<o:p /> <o:p /> On July 20, 1974 Turkey undertakes a military invasion of Cyprus which has as a consequence extensive destruction. On August 14 the Turkish plan was completed with the second assault that culminated with the occupation of 37% of Cyprus. The Turkish troops destroyed every hope that the end of the Second World War would mean the phasing out of the horror of war from Europe. Even worse, the extent of the destruction, the barbarity and plundering which has been continuing for many years now, are reminiscent of the dark days of the Middle Ages. The misdeeds of the Turkish Attila are very similar to the works of peril and destruction of the notorious king of the Huns. <o:p /> <o:p />This is the story. Detailed information you may find if you use key words â€œCyprusâ€, â€œAttila Iâ€, Attila II, Greek Cypriots, Turk Cypriots, etc. <o:p />If you want a bleeding corner in Europe then you nothing. If you really are a cultivated individual with free voice and speech raise your voice. Tell the world that these sorts of actions are barbaric and bring us back in time and memories to bore more hate more wars. Briefly, in the aftermath of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus there are 4000 dead, 1619 missing, and 230,000 people displaced. The 37% of the island which the Turks take contain 70% of the industry and mineral wealth, 80% of the tourist attractions and 65% of the cultivated land. <img width="266" height="187" src="http://www.ahistoryofgreece.com/photos/cyprusmotherssm.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.greece.org/cyprus/images%5Ccyp2.jpg" /><div align="left">For those who accuse the United States of being involved in the invasion it is interesting to note that on the 15th of July there are two intelligence reports at the State Department's SE Europe section office. One says that there is no imminent coup in Cyprus, the other that it has already begun. Still the belief of many is that Henry Kissinger is deeply involved in the calamity. But one can understand the confusion of the US administration during the crisis of Cyprus and the fall of the Athens Junta for even as all this is unfolding, Richard Nixon is resigning as President of the United States over the Watergate scandal and is replaced by Gerald Ford who had himself replaced disgraced vice-president Spiro Agnew. </div>Right spelled "Spyro", a nice name on a sold politician. I  would be very ashamed being you, a Greek-American involved  to sell  Greece and parts of its ethnically heritage to MONGOLS and TEUTONS. At that time Mr Bush you were a member of "Skull and Bones" you should also be ashamed. Are you involved Mr Bush? No, well take a look <a href="http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Intelligence_officers_confirm_Kissinger_role_in_0626.html" target="_new">here</a> or <a href="http://www.greece.org/cyprus/Treason1.htm" target="_new">here</a>. I didn't write it but an American citizens did and Mr Bush keep your hands off Cyprus and Greece. Let the Cypriots and Greeks live as they consider best. The count down begun Mr Bush, for YOU and YOUR Turkish comrades. Greece will be glorious again without American help again. "Î— Î¡Î©ÎœÎ‘ÎÎ™Î‘ ÎšÎ™ Î‘Î Î•Î Î•Î¡Î‘Î£Î•Î Î‘ÎÎ˜Î— ÎšÎ‘Î™ Î¦Î•Î¡Î•Î™ ÎšÎ™ Î‘Î›Î›ÎŸ" meaning if ROMANIA (Greece of Byzantine Ages) fell it is blooming and it is coming back.. Regardless of what the Americans knew or didn't know, the Athens Junta's failed coup against Makarios which led to the Turkish invasion of Cyprus is a tragedy that continues to this day. As of  2007 over 1500 Cypriot men, women and children are still missing.<o:p /> Take your hands off Cyprus. Let the Cypriots live as they consider best for them without any involvement from out. FREEDOM TO NOTHERN CYPRUS<o:p /> <o:p /> This article is not against the American People. You all sail in same boat as me and most of the victims of hard imperialistic and capitalistic policy. Capitalism has no fatherland but you and me we all have.

This holiday commemorates U.S. men and women who died in military service for their country. It began first to honor Union soldiers who died during the American Civil War. After World War I, it expanded to include those who died in any war or military action; now, the day appears to have expanded to include any person who was ever a service member who has since died, and observances of the day appear to be dominated by still-living veterans. One of the longest standing holiday traditions is the running of the Indianapolis 500, which has been held in conjunction with Memorial Day since 1911. Now, many Americans use the date as merely marking the unofficial start of the summer vacationing season, and many government parks and beaches start their summer schedule on the Friday before. <div align="center"><img width="421" height="533" temp_src="http://www.vickiblackwell.com/images/veteran.jpg" src="http://www.vickiblackwell.com/images/veteran.jpg" /> </div>An e-card to all my friends in <a temp_href="http://www.123greetings.com/events/memorial_day/wishes/memorial30.html" href="http://www.123greetings.com/events/memorial_day/wishes/memorial30.html">Zorpia</a>.

EASTER is the biggest Holiday of Christianity. I have choosen an extract from The Passion of The Christ associated to the seasonal ceremonies and liturgies written by Anne Catherine Emmerich. The full article you will find at <a target="_new" href="http://my.homewithgod.com/israel/acemmerich3/">The Passion Of The Christ.</a> <div align="center">THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST <img vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0" align="bottom" alt="ThePassionOfTheChrist" src="http://www.gnfi.org/passion/assets/images/suffer2.jpg" /> </div><div align="center"> Toward the end of that narrow street, or alley, the way turned again to the left, becoming broader and somewhat steep, as also wider, a subterranean aqueduct proceeding from Mount Sion passed under it, and in its vicinity was a hollow which was often filled with water and mud after rain, and a large stone was placed in its centre to enable persons to pass over more easily. When Jesus reached this spot, his strength was perfectly exhausted; he was quite unable to move; and as the archers dragged and pushed him without showing the slightest compassion, he fell quite down against this stone, and the cross fell by his side. The cruel executioners were obliged to stop, they abused and struck him unmercifully, but the whole procession came to a standstill, which caused a degree of confusion. Vainly did he hold out his hand for some one to assist him to rise: â€˜Ah!â€™ he exclaimed, â€˜all will soon be over;â€™ and he prayed for his enemies. â€˜Lift him up,â€™ said the Pharisees, â€˜otherwise he will die in our hands.â€™ There were many women and children following the procession; the former wept, and the latter were frightened. Jesus, however, received support from above, and raised his head; but these cruel men, far from endeavouring to alleviate his sufferings, put the crown of thorns again on his head before they pulled him out of the mud, and no sooner was he once more on his feet than they replaced the cross on his back. He had to hang His poor head, racked with thorns, to one side in order to be able to carry His heavy load on His shoulder, for the crown was broad. Thus Jesus tottered, with increased torture, up the steep and gradually widening street.<div align="left"> HAPPY HOLY WEEK<o:p />The Holy Days are a period for affection, reunion and family hapiness.

There have been many guesses and explanations for its origin. Some believe the celebration of April Foolsâ€™ Day began many years go in France. People believe that this day perhaps relates back to an ancient New Year's festival held on the vernal Equinox, March 21. This was the beginning of the New Year according to the pre-Gregorian calendar. In France when the implementation of the Gregorian calendar was changed, by Charles IX in 1564, the beginning of the new year was changed and celebrated on January first, those people who still celebrated the day on the first of April were know as April fools'. Prior to the change of the date it was customary to give gifts on the first day of the year therefore when the date was changed people began sending mock gifts to other people on April first making them April fools. In France a person who resisted in changing the date of the new year was victimized by pranksters who played practical jokes on him, this person became to be know as a poisson d'avril otherwise known as an April Fish. The custom made its way around to ther nations as well. Some time later England and Scotland decided to adopt the custom of playing jokes on people. In Scotland the favorite April fool's joke is to send someone on a cuckoo hunt. The word gowk is derived from the word geck, which means "someone who is easily imposed upon. The prank of sending someone out on a cuckoo hunt became so common that in Scotland April Fools' Day is know as April Gowk Day. This is considered to be a prank because there is no such thing as a cuckoo. Most believe April Fools' Day was derived by the change of the calendar. Some believe the origin comes from the timing of the year during the vernal equinox. The weather fools all mankind. In many countries April Fools'Day is celebrated on other days besides the first of April. In Mexico April Fools' Day is celebrated on the 28th of December. In ancient Rome the day was celebrated on the 25th of March. Also in India they observe the day on the 31st of March. In America the day is mostly observed by young people and practical jokers who want to get a laugh at someone else's expense. One other theory of how the day came about was derived from the remnant of the festival of Cerelia. This was an ancient Roman feast which celebrated the story of Proserpina. According to the legend, Proserpina was abducted by Pluto the Roman God while she was gathering lilies in the valley. Proserpina's mother Ceres was so distressed to hear about the abduction of her daughter that she began to make a futile search for her. Because of the hopelessness of Ceres mission her quest to find her daughter has been known to be called the "fool's errand. Many different kinds of tricks are played on April Fools' Day. Some of which are the hunt for the cuckoo in Scotland, or the April fool's letter. It is important to remember however that the jokes one plays should be all in good fun for both sides. April Fools' Day should not be a day to play nasty jokes on unsuspecting victims. One must remember the difference between a good joke and a bad one. Overall April Fools' Day is a day in which everyone can have a lot of fun pulling pranks. The day most probably began because of the change in the calendar and the day now lives on as a day of fun and practical jokes. GENERAL JOKES -- Fill a glass with water. Add food dye so it matches the color of whatever juice you have in your refrigerator. Serve the "juice" to your family. They will be expecting something sweet and getting water so it will taste funny at first. Don't forget to watch the funny faces they make! -- Open up all the boxes of cereal and pull the bags with the cereal in them out of the boxes. Put each bag in a wrong cereal box. When your family members go to pour their cereal they will get the wrong kind! -- Open a bedroom door or any door that you know a lot of people will walk through and put a pillow at the top of it so when the person opens the door the pillow will hit them on the head. -- Stuff toilet paper or tissues or whatever into the toe part of someone's shoes so they have trouble getting their feet in! -- You'll need: A needle, Thread and a Bunch of underwear. How to do the prank on your spouse or family member: Get a bunch of their underwear, and sew all of them together so when they pick a pair up they'll keep coming! This seems like a bad prank, but it's hilarious! -- take toilet paper and unravel it so that a marker doesn't show through. Then with the marker write: "Help, I'm lost in a toilet paper factory", and roll it back up. Whoever goes to the bathroom next will get a joke out of that one! -- Turn all the clocks and watches in the house forward one hour. Spouses get up earlier for work; kids get to school an hour earlier. You sit back and relax for that extra hour. -- Make someone a cake with chocolate icing all around it but the cake will really be cornbread. -- You know the sprayer on the side of most sinks? If you put an elastic band around the push button of the sprayer, and face the sprayer forwards...the next person to turn on the faucet will get soaked. Obviously can't be done on the web, but funny just as well, as long as you don't forget and turn the water on next. -- Tape the power ball show for one week's show. Buy a ticket the next week with the WINNING NUMBER on the taped show. Invite your friends over and slip the show on at the appropriate time, then take out your ticket and go over the numbers as they come up on the show to your friend's amazement! -- The old sticker-on-the-back routine of the 'Kick Me' variety is not big and it certainly isn't clever - but it's still funny. A good variation on this is to get one of the "COOL" stickers from the Airport (if you are there going on a trip) to put it on someone's back. Hilarious! -- On a particularly busy day at the grocery, quietly slip strange items into others' baskets - gourmet cheese into a cart full of TV dinners and beer, condoms into an elderly persons cart, baby food and diapers into a suave single guy's cart ..., the possibilities are endless. -- What about the classic old joke that will be ringing out in every school on April Fool's Day? 'Your shoelaces are undone', followed by 'April Fool!' when your victim looks down to see which one has come untied. This is especially effective if your victim doesn't actually have laces in their shoes. -- In a similar vein is the 'What's that on your jumper/shirt  front/coat?' pointing to the area, forcing the victim to look down. Naturally there is nothing there. -- And don't forget your mustached friends. When with a group of people, look at your friend and without talking, brush your upper lip, he will think he has something in it and keep brushing it. Again, nothing is really there. OFFICE PRANKS -- Does your office have desks with drawers that can easily be removed? If so,try this; when there's no-one else in, swap a few drawers around. It doesn't matter who they belong to, although the effects are best if the victims don't know each other. Don't swap too many because the effect is best when most people are oblivious to the trick! Hiding a sticker with 'April Fool!' on it at the bottom or the back of each drawer and keeping a poker face will also help to keep suspicion away from you. Especially if you swap one of your own drawers! -- Superglue a pen cap to the pen and ask people if they can get it off for you! -- When your computer friend has left their desk, make a screen capture (print screen) of the person's desktop (preferably with a program open). Go into Windows Paint program and paste. Save as a bmp. Load the picture as the person's background. Sit back and watch them double clicking and rebooting fruitlessly. (Note: you can also create a bmp of an entire black screen and do the same. The mouse moves, but there's nothing to click on if you hide the icons)! -- One of the easiest (and arguably most effective) computer tricks to set up is this. It will only work if you are in an office where the computers are arranged so that one is opposite another on the same desk; i.e. if the computers weren't there, you'd be looking straight at the person opposite you. All you do is swap either the keyboards or monitors between two computers that are back-to-back - but you don't unplug them. So if you swap keyboards, the keyboard you have is now plugged into the computer on the other side of the desk, and vice versa. When the person opposite you types something, nothing comes up. Until you start typing ... -- Changing the keyboard settings to use the 'Dvorak' layout is also a good prank. Most people don't know that the keyboard layouts can be switched at all, and the only keys that are common between the Dvorak and standard 'Qwerty' layout are 'a' and 'm', so people spend a lot of time typing gibberish and running virus-checks. -- If you can get the keys to the car, park it by a busy road with a prominent 'For Sale' sign in the window (front and rear). Then put a really low price on it and the number of the victim. They will get calls all day. BUT THE BEST JOKE -- Is one of paranoid anticipation - Before 1 April, select your target (it could be anyone you know, family member, friend, partner, your ex) and persistently tease them about how much you're going to make their life h*ll on April Fool's Day with your winding up. When April Fool's Day finally does arrive, you just have to sit back and do nothing around your target, they will be so paranoid about what you're going to do that they don't realize you've already got them. Of course, if these suggestions don't help, perhaps a short recap of some of the best corporate April Fool's Day jokes would help your creativeness. Here are a few good ones: PASTA TREES -- The British Broadcasting Company aired a report about a bumper spaghetti harvest in southern Switzerland on April 1, 1957. Video showed farmers pulling pasta off spaghetti trees. The show's anchor, Richard Dimbleby, attributed the abundance of spaghetti to the mild winter and decline in the spaghetti weevil. Immediately afterward, thousands called the station to find out how they could grow their own spaghetti trees. The answer from the BBC? "Place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best". -- Residents all over the United States were angered when Taco Bell announced they had purchased the Liberty Bell and had plans to move it to Irvine. People were furious and called Liberty Bell National Historic park to express their disgust with the move. A few hours later, Taco Bell sent out a news release announcing the hoax. The marketing ploy resulted in a $500,000 sales increase for Taco Bell on April 1 and a $600,000 increase on April 2. LEFTOVER BURGERS -- On April 1, 1998, Burger King introduced the "Left-Handed Whopper," designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans. According to the full-page ad in the newspaper, the Left-Handed Whopper contained all of the same ingredients as the original Whopper, but the condiments were rotated 180 degrees for the benefit of the left-handed customers. "It's the ultimate 'Have it Your Way' for our left-handed customers," said Jim Watkins, the restaurant's senior vice president of marketing. Thousands of customers flocked to the restaurant to order the Left-Handed Whopper. Others requested their own right-handed version and sales increased substantially for both I - DWI -- In this 1994 hoax, columnist John Dvorak wrote a piece for PC Computing magazine about a new bill making its way through Congress. The bill, SB 040194, would make it illegal to surf the information superhighway will intoxicated. Dvorak urged readers to send comments to Lirpa Sloof. Careful readers noticed that SB 040194, is April 1, 1994. And Lirpa Sloof? That's "April Fools" backward! NAPPING FISH -- In 2000, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals announced it would sabotage a bass fishing tournament in a Texas lake by releasing tranquilizers into the lake before the tournament. "This year, the fish will be napping, not nibbling", the PETA press release said. State officials were ready for them, stationing rangers around the lake to stop the PETA activists from drugging the fish. Numerous newspapers reported the threat. Eventually, PETA admitted it was a joke. Hopefully, this article has inspired the child in you to come out to play on Friday. Just remember most April Fools jokes are meant to be done in good fun and never meant to harm anyone. The best April Fools joke is the one where everyone laughs, especially the person upon whom the joke is played. Please have a happy and safe April Fool's Day! Quote of the day: "The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year". [Mark Twain] Warm Regards Georgios Gossips & Jokes http://www.zorpia.com/ZeusTheMaster/journal/1663062 Sat, 31 Mar 2007 17:50 EST SPRING EQUINOX-NEW YEAR-MARCH 21TH http://www.zorpia.com/ZeusTheMaster/journal/1659150 Spring celebrations by various faiths Ancient and modern, March 21th ANCIENT BRITAIN: Both the solstices and equinoxes "were the highly sophisticated preoccupation of the mysterious Megalithic peoples who pre-dated Celt, Roman and Saxon on Europe's Atlantic fringe by thousands of years." The equinoxes were not otherwise celebrated in ancient Britain, until recent years. ANCIENT IRELAND: The spring and fall equinox were celebrated in ancient times. A cluster of megalithic cairns are scattered through the hills at Loughcrew, about 55 miles North West of Dublin in Ireland. Longhcrew  Carin T is a passage tomb which is designed so that the light from the rising sun on the spring and summer equinoxes penetrates a long corridor and illuminates a backstone, which is decorated with astronomical symbols. ANCIENT GERMANS: Ostara, the Germanic fertility Goddess was associated with human and crop fertility. On the spring equinox, she mated with the solar god and conceived a child that would be born 9 months later on DEC-21: <a href="http://www.religioustolerance.org/winter_solstice.htm">Yule, the winter solstic</a>. ANCIENT MAYANS: The indigenous Mayan people in Central American have celebrated a spring equinox festival for ten centuries. As the sun sets on the day of the equinox on the great ceremonial pyramid, El Castillo, Mexico, its "western face...is bathed in the late afternoon sunlight. The lengthening shadows appear to run from the top of the pyramid's northern staircase to the bottom, giving the illusion of a diamond-backed snake in descent." This has been called "The Return of the Sun Serpent" since ancient times. ANCIENT GREEKS: The god-man Dionysos was a major deity among the ancient Greeks. "As a god of the spring rites, of the flowering plants and fruitful vines, Dionysos was said to be in terrible pain during winter, when most living things sicken and die, or hibernate." Persephone, a daughter of Demeter, descended into the Otherworld and returned near the time of the spring equinox. This story has close parallels to various Goddess legends, stories of the life of King Arthur, and of Jesus Christ. ANCIENT PERSIA, ZOROASTRIANISM: Various ancient civilizations (Mesopotamia, Sumeria, Babylonia, Elam) circa 3000 to 2000 BCE celebrated new years at the time of the spring equinox. "No Ruz," the new day or New Year has been celebrated in the area of modern-day Iran since the Achaemenian (Hakhamaneshi) period over 2500 years ago. It survived because of Zoroastrianism which was the religion of Ancient Persia before the advent of Islam 1400 years ago. Many religious historians trace the Judeo-Christian concepts of <a href="http://www.religioustolerance.org/heav_hel.htm">Hell, Heaven</a>, <a href="http://www.religioustolerance.org/resurrec.htm">Resurrection</a>, the arrival of the Messiah, and the last judgment to Zoroastrianism. In that faith, the Lord of Wisdom "created all that was good and became God. The Hostile Spirit, Angra Mainyu (Ahriman), residing in the eternal darkness created all that was bad and became the Hostile Spirit." This dualistic God/Satan concept is surprisingly close to the views of conservative Christianity today. ANCIENT ROMANS: In "about 200 B.C., mystery cults began to appear in Rome just as they had earlier in Greece. Most notable was the Cybele cult centered on Vatican hill ... Associated with the Cybele cult was that of her lover, Attis (the older Tammuz, Osiris, Dionysus, or Orpheus under a new name)...The festival began as a day of blood on Black Friday and culminated after three days in a day of rejoicing over the resurrection". Attis was born of a human woman, a virgin named Nana. He "grew up to become a sacrificial victim and Savior, slain to bring salvation to mankind. His body was eaten by his worshipers in the form of bread... [He was] crucified on a pine tree, whence his holy blood poured down to redeem the earth". The celebration was held on MAR-25, 9 months before his birth on DEC-25. InRome, the rituals took place where St. Peter's now stands in Vatican City. The similarities between the stories of Attis and Jesus are obvious. ANCIENT SAXONS: Eostre was the Saxon version of the Germanic lunar goddess Ostara. She gave her name to the Christian Easter and to the female hormone estrogen. Her feast day was held on the full moon following the vernal equinox -- almost the identical calculation as for the Christian Easter in the west. One delightful legend associated with Eostre was that she found an injured bird on the ground one winter. To save its life, she transformed it into a hare. But "the transformation was not a complete one. The bird took the appearance of a hare but retained the ability to lay eggs. .. the hare would decorate these eggs and leave them as gifts to Eostre". BAHÃÃ WORLD FAITH: Naw-RÃºz is an ancient Iranian New Years day festival which occurs near the Spring Equinox. It is now a world holiday of the BahÃ¡'Ã faith. If the equinox occurs before sunset, then New Year's Day is celebrated on that day in the Middle East; otherwise it is delayed until the following day. In the rest of the world, it is always on MAR-21. It is celebrated with many symbols indicating regrowth and renewal - much like the Christian Easter. Some members follow the ancient Iranian "haft-sin" custom on this day involves arranging seven objects whose name begin with the letter "S" in Persian; e.g. hyacinths, apples, lilies, silver coins, garlic, vinegar and rue. CHRISTIANITY: The record of the Roman Army's execution date of Yeshua of Nazareth (later known as Jesus Christ) has been lost. Dates linked to the Jewish Passover celebration in the years 30 to 33 have been suggested. Easter commemorates Jesus' execution, visit to Hell, and resurrection. Easter Sunday is a moveable holy day, being celebrated from late March to late April. It is named after the "Teutonic goddess Eostre, whose name is probably yet another variant of Ishtar, Astare and Aset...". The Feast of Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary is held on March 25th, on the nominal date of the spring equinox, according to the old Julian calendar. This is the time when the angel Gabriel told Mary that she was pregnant. (Luke 1:26-38) <a href="http://www.religioustolerance.org/xmas_dir.htm">Nine months later, at Christmas /Yule</a>, Mary is traditionally believed to have given birth to Jesus, <a href="http://www.religioustolerance.org/virgin_b.htm">while still a virgin</a>. JUDAISM: "In its origin, the Passover dinner itself was a spring fertility festivalâ€“the unleavened bread coming from the agricultural past of the people and the paschal lamb from its more distant pastoral years." The Bible passages of Leviticus 23:5-8 and Numbers 28:16-18 state that Passover is to be celebrated in the springtime, on the 14th day of the Jewish month of Nissan. The Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord is held on the 15th. It evolved into a celebration of God's liberation of the ancient Hebrews from slavery in Egypt. NATIVE AMERICAN SPIRITUALITY: There are countless stone structures created by Natives in the past and still standing in North America. One was called Calendar One by its modern-day finder. It is in a natural amphitheatre of about 20 acres in size in Vermont. From a stone enclosure in the center of the bowl, one can see a number of vertical rocks and other markers around the edge of the bowl "At the winter solstice, the sun rose at the southern peak of the east ridge and set at a notch at the southern end of the west ridge." The summer solstice and both equinoxes were similarly marked."America's Stonehenge" is a 4,000 year old megalithic  site located on Mystery Hill in Salem NH. Carbon dating has estimated the age of some charcoal remnants at 3,000 and 4,000 years ago. Researchers have concluded that the site was erected either by Native Americans or an unknown migrant European population. The site contains five standing stones and one fallen stone in a linear alignment which point to both the sunrise and sunset at the spring and fall equinoxes.<a href="http://www.religioustolerance.org/neo_paga.htm">NEOPAGANISM</a>: This is a group of religions which are attempted re-creations of ancient Pagan religions. Of these, <a href="http://www.religioustolerance.org/witchcra.htm">Wicca</a> is the most common; it is loosely based on ancient Celtic beliefs, symbols and practices, with the addition of some more recent Masonic and ceremonial magic rituals.  Monotheistic religions, like Judaism, Christianity and Islam, tend to view time as linear. It started with creation; the world as we know it will end at some time in the future. Aboriginal and Neopagan religions see time as circular and repetitive, with lunar (monthly) and solar (yearly) cycles. Their "...rituals guarantee the continuity of nature's cycles, which traditional human societies depend on for their sustenance." Wiccans recognize eight seasonal days of celebration. Four are minor sabbats and occur at the two solstices and the two equinoxes. The other are major sabbats which happen approximately halfway between an equinox and solstice. Wiccans may celebrate Lady Day on the evening before, or at sunrise on the morning of the solstice/equinox, or at the exact time of vernal equinox. Near the Mediterranean, this is a time of sprouting of the summer's crop; farther north, it is the time for seeding. Their rituals at the Spring Equinox are related primarily to the fertility of the crops and to the balance of the day and night times. Where Wiccans can safely celebrate the Sabbat out of doors without threat of religious persecution, they often incorporate a bonfire into their rituals, jumping over the dying embers to assure fertility of people and crops. It is experienced as a time of balance.

The Mythological Cycle or the Book of Invasions, comprised of successive settlements of early Celtic people on Ireland, particularly the Tuatha DÃ© Danann and the Milesians. The other two cycles were supposed to be set at a later time. The Ulaid Cycle deal with the reigns of Conchobor of Ulaid and Medb of Connacht, particularly the warriors of the Red Branch and its greatest hero, CÃº Chulainn. The Fenian Cycle (or the Ossianic Cycle), supposed to have set in a more peaceful time of the reign of Cormac the Airt, particularly the warriors of Fianna and its greatest hero, Finn Mac Cumhaill. Some scholars say that there was a fourth cycle, called Cycle of Kings (or Book of Kings). This was supposed to be the history of early reign of the Milesian kings. The earlier Irish did not divided their myths and literature into cycles. These cycles were intrepretations and usages of modern scholars. The uses of cycles in Irish literature were just a convenient mean of dividing into periods for the Irish myths. All the romances and sagas of the three (or four) cycles were added into each of main manuscript, without any logical orders. The main sources for the Irish cycles can be found in three books: the Book of the Dun Cow (1100), the Book of Leinster (1160), and the Yellow Book of Lecan (14th century). They contained a collection of Irish sagas. All three books contained the TÃ¡in BÃ³ Cuailnge (Cattle Raid of Cooley), the largest tale in Irish myths. The "Colloquy of the Ancients" (Agallamh na SeanÃ³rach), that contained some of the stories of Finn and the Fianna, was written in 1200, but preserved in the Book of the Dean of Lismore by Sir James MacGregor, from the 16th century. There was later Ossianic ballads containing more stories of Finn, both in Ireland and Scotland. Michael O'Clery wrote his own version of the Book of Invasions (1631). James Macpherson (18th century) was said to have discovered and translated the poem written by the bard-hero Oisin. It was however proven that it was an invention of Macpherson.In Welsh myths, the most important collection of works was from the Mabinogion. The Mabinogion was a collection of eleven tales (twelve if you include the tale of Taliesin), including some from the Arthurian legend. These stories, like those of the Irish sagas, were based on older oral traditions (except the three Welsh romances). The first four tales, known as the "Four Branches of Mabinogi", was also sometimes known as the "Cycle of Peredur", though the hero Peredur only has minor role in all four tales.

This date is also commemorated at the United Nations and is designated in many countries as a national holiday. When women on all continents, often divided by national boundaries and by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences, come together to celebrate their Day, they can look back to a tradition that represents at least nine decades of struggle for equality, justice, peace and development. <o:p><img vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0" align="bottom" src="http://www.kurdistanweb.org/kw/indexs/images/womanFaceChoman.jpg" alt="KURD" /> </o:p> Woman's Face by Kurdish artist Choman International Women's Day is the story of ordinary women as makers of history; it is rooted in the centuries-old struggle of women to participate in society on an equal footing with men. In ancient Greece, Lysistrata initiated a sexual strike against men in order to end war; during the French Revolution, Parisian women calling for "liberty, equality, fraternity" marched on Versailles to demand women's suffrage. The idea of an International Women's Day first arose at the turn of the century, which in the industrialized world was a period of expansion and turbulence, booming population growth and radical ideologies.Sincerely, Georgios  Romance & Relationships http://www.zorpia.com/ZeusTheMaster/journal/1653650 Wed, 07 Mar 2007 18:09 EST
