Aaron's Beard

Psalm 133 A song of ascents. Of David. 1 How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! 2 It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes. 3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.

Isis or Mary?

Here's a picture of two comparative statues of Mary and Jesus vs. Isis and Horus

The Black Madona: There are about 300 locations where a most revered icon in the catholic religion resides. She is called the Black Madonna. Recent discoveries by paleontologists have identified these shrines as Isis and Horus. During the advent of christian dominence in Europe, Isis worship was gradually restricted. By 435 a.d. the catholic church declared Mary as the Mother of God, Queen of Heaven, Queen of Angels. The icons of Isis and Horace (dead father god -osiris- reborn) were transformed into the christian icon of Mary and Jesus. Many believe that with the rise of Christianity and papal power, the Goddess slowly disappeared. So great was devotion to the Goddess that She was ressurected in the hearts of the people by a new Goddess, Mary, Mother of Jesus.

Isis is not the only Mother/child deity that resembles Mary/Jesus. Others include: Diana, Demeter and Kore, Cybele and Deoius, Fortuna and Jupiter, Shing Moo, Belus and Beltis.
