| | Golden Child - Vatican Treasury |
 | | This golden child in the Vatican treasury, like so many other images of the child in Roman Catholic churches, is reminiscent of the ancient worship of Tammuz as a child. |
 | | Born on Dec.25, he represented the rebirth of the sun. |
 | | Other names applied to the sun-god as a child are Mithras, Horus, Isvara, Deoius, Jupiter, Plutus, Ninus, Osiris, Dionysus, Bacchus, Iacchus, Adonis, Attis, etc. All myths of child worship are a reflection of ancient Babylonian customs. |
