  Sol Invictus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sol Invictus ("the unconquered sun") or, more fully, Deus Sol Invictus ("the unconquered sun god") was a religious title applied to three distinct divinities during the later Roman Empire.
Unlike the earlier, agrarian cult of Sol Indiges ("the sun in-the-earth"), the title Deus Sol Invictus was formed by analogy with the imperial titulature pius felix invictus ("dutiful, fortunate, unconquered").
The cult of Sol Invictus continued to be a cornerstone of the emperors until Theodosius I's decree on Feb 27, 390 that only Nicene Christianity was acceptable.

In earlier Greek Mythology, the sun was personified as a deity called Hêlios (Roman equivalent: Sol), driving a fiery chariot across the sky.
Sol Invictus was designated the god of the Roman Empire.
It seems to be a modern meta-myth that literary references to Phoebus and his car or to Phoebus and his chariot refer to Phoebus Apollo in the role of sun god rather than to Helios/Sol.

 Sol   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Latin god Sol, associated with the Greek god Helios, was the deity who drove his chariot, which carried the sun, across the sky every day.
Understandably this made Sol a god of some importance to farming and crops, as well as to the taking of auspices to the ever superstitious Romans.
In particular Sol's presence on the Arch of Constantine in Rome is the cause of some controversy.

Of all the divinities of the ancient mythology God Sol was the only one distinguished by the exalted title of Lord or Lord God, for the reason that he was made the organizer of chaos and governor of heaven and earth.
Religion having been based upon the worship of personified nature, it is evident that its founders fabricated its dogmatic element from their conceptions of her destructive and reproductive processes as manifested in the rotation and diversity of the seasons.
The authors of the original solar fables, having lived in that remote age in which physical prowess was recognized as the highest attribute of humanity, conceived the idea that God Sol, while passing through his apparent orbit, had to fight his way with the animals of the Zodiac, and with others in conjunction with them.

 Krishna Crucified?
But lately a new edition of our god has been given to the world in that great city: it originated with a certain vile man who was wont to hire himself out to cheat the wild beasts, and who exhibited a picture with this inscription: The God of the Christians, born of an ass.
This fructifying god, of course, is the solar deity, i.e., Osiris/Horus.
We can also be assured that other gods and, possibly, humans were depicted on crosses, since, as admitted by CE, the "primitive form of crucifixion on trees was long in use." In fact, as we shall see, this primitive crucifixion was part of ancient human sacrifice rituals in numerous parts of the world.

 Christmas Traditions  --  Kathy Capoccia
Secular speculation postulates that because the deeply rooted Sol Invictus had not been eradicated by Christianity, the Catholic Church purposefully chose to turn December 25th, the Natilis Invictus (“the birth of the sun”), into “the birth day of the Son,” that is, of Jesus Christ, the son of God.
