Anahit was revered as the goddess of fertility, healing, wisdom, and water within Armenian mythology. Initially, she held the title of the goddess of war. By the 5th century BCE, she emerged as a principal deity in Armenia alongside Aramazd. The Armenian goddess Anahit shares similarities with the Iranian goddess Anahita. Artaxias I commissioned statues of Anahit and issued decrees for their veneration. Strabo noted that the Armenians participated in the religious practices of the Persians and Medes, particularly honouring Anaitis. The Armenian kings were unwavering patrons of her cult; Tiridates III, prior to his conversion to Christianity, officially prayed to the triad of Aramazd-Anahit-Vahagn, yet he is said to have exhibited a particular reverence for the esteemed Anahit, regarded as the benefactor of humanity, the mother of all knowledge, and the daughter of the great Aramazd. Agathangelos recounts that it was customary for the Kings of Armenia to make an annual pilgrimage to the temple at Eriza in Acilisene to commemorate the festival dedicated to the goddess. Worship of Anahit was firmly established in Erez, Armavir, Artashat, and Ashtishat. Plutarch described the temple of Erez as the wealthiest and most distinguished in Armenia, staffed by priests and priestesses, the latter hailing from noble families who would serve at the temple prior to their marriages. The annual celebration during the month of Navasard, honouring Anahit, was marked by significant gatherings featuring dance, music, recitals, and competitions. The ailing would undertake pilgrimages to the temples, seeking healing. The head of the bronze gilded statue of Anahit symbolized ancient Armenian medicine. Historian Berossus equated Anahit with Aphrodite, while medieval Armenian scholars associated her with Artemis. Additionally, a corona on Venus bears her name. #History

The Unconquered Sun or Invincible Sun, also known as Sol Invictus, was long regarded as the recognised sun deity of the later Roman Empire. The Roman Emperor Aurelian declared the cult of Sol Invictus a state religion among the other Roman cults on December 25, AD 274. The cult of Sol was connected to the Roman gens Aurelia. Emperor Aurelian completely transformed the Roman worship of Sol following his conquests in the East, making the sun deity one of the most revered deities of the Empire. When viewed from the direction of the main approach towards the arch, triumphal arch of Emperor Constantine in later times was strategically placed to line up with the enormous statue of Sol by the Colosseum, making Sol the prominent backdrop. Academicians claim that on December 25, the date of the Roman Winter Solstice, the emperor Aurelian founded the celebration Dies Natalis Solis Invicti or Birthday of the Invincible Sun in AD 274. Thirty chariot races were held in Rome to commemorate this annual celebration. Priests of Sol were now pontifices and members of the new college of pontifices established by Aurelian, although in the past they had been only sacerdotes and typically belonged to the lower strata of Roman society. The fact that each pontifex of Sol now belonged to the senatorial aristocracy demonstrated how esteemed the priesthood of Sol had become. According to the conventional wisdom, Rome had two completely distinct sun gods, the second being Sol Invictus. Sol Indiges, also known as Sol, was the first of them. According to the revisionist theory, however, Rome had only one Sun God worship that persisted from the kingship to the end of antiquity. Sol was the name of the Roman deity in question. In Rome, there were at least three Sun-related temples, all of which were from the earlier Republic and were still in use during the Empire. As a result, the academic world on Sol has recently split into two groups: traditionalists and an increasing number of revisionists. Numerous Roman gods, including Jupiter, Mars, Hercules, Apollo, and Silvanus, were given the title – Invictus or Invincible - Since the third century BC, it had been in use. The Roman religion of Sol has also persisted since the earliest records of the city. Sol was regarded as being of the utmost importance during the reign of Emperor Aurelian to Constantine I. The last mention of Sol Invictus in writing is from AD 387, and there were still enough followers of the religion till the fifth century, so that Augustine, a Christian theologian, felt compelled to preach against them. #History

Stories of supernatural deer, deer connected to a spiritual figure, and spirits or deities that may assume the form of deer are told by the Insular Celts. Deer are referred to as -- fairy cattle -- in some Scottish and Irish tales, and they are herded and milked by a kind, benign, otherworldly woman like a bean sìdhe or, in other instances, the goddess Flidais, who has the ability to change into either a red or white deer. This otherworldly woman chooses the specific deer that would be slain during the hunt the following day in the West Highlands. The Old Woman of Beare, also known as The Cailleach Bhéara, resides on an island off the coast of County Cork in Ireland. In order to evade capture, she disguises herself as a deer and herds her deer near the seashore. The islands in the western sea known as the lands of the dead are likewise connected to the Beare Peninsula. Deer are also associated with other Celtic mythical characters like Oisín and Sadhbh. One of the characters on the Gundestrup cauldron may be Cernunnos, a mythical figure in Continental Celtic mythology. On top of his head, he sports stag antlers. In the mythology of many cultures around the world, deer play important roles. They can be objects of devotion, the incarnation of gods, the subject of valiant quests and actions, or, in many folktales and fairy tales, magical disguises, enchantments for princesses and princes. As a messenger or a familiar of an entity, the deer also represents a link to the supernatural, the Otherworld, or the fairy realm. An upright, antlered stag is shown on an Anglo-Saxon royal sceptre discovered at the Sutton Hoo burial site in England. A large section of the first part of the Old English poem Beowulf centers on the happenings around Heorot, also known as the Hall of the Hart, a magnificent mead hall. Golden-horned deer are big deer with golden antlers in Slavic fairytales. In the 18th century, golden or silver deer/elk were a common folk figure in the Urals. There were stories of the mythical Silver Deer, also referred to as the goat Silver Hoof and the elk Golden Horns. One of the most prevalent motifs in Scythian art, the stag, was somewhat revered by the Scythians. The unusual antlered headdresses discovered on horses interred at Pazyryk may be explained by the belief that the speedy animal accelerates the souls of the dead on their journey. In Turkic mythology, deer are linked to fertility, wisdom, agility, and supernatural abilities. Deer figures were discovered in a few of the early Turkic burials.

Faramir was the younger brother of Boromir and second son of Denethor II. After his brother died, he was appointed captain of the White Tower and captain of the Rangers of Ithilien. In TA 2983, Denethor II and Finduilas, the daughter of Adrahil of Dol Amroth, welcomed Faramir into the world. When his grandfather, Ecthelion II, passed away the following year, his father, Denethor, took over as ruling steward of Gondor. Finduilas passed away when Faramir was five years old. Denethor lost touch with his family after she passed away. Boromir was five years older than Faramir, but their love for one another was strong. It was said that Boromir was the more courageous, fearless, and powerful warrior. The sweet disposition of Faramir, his love of music and lore, and assertiveness were mistakenly viewed as less. Despite their stark personality differences and clear preference of Denethor for Boromir over Faramir, the brothers never harboured prejudice or resentment toward one another. Faramir, who greatly adored his older brother, was constantly protected and assisted by Boromir. Gandalf the Grey and Faramir became friends because of this shared passion. Through guidance and wisdom of Gandalf, youngest son of Denethor learnt everything he could. The reason Denethor disapproved of Faramir as the pupil of the Wzard was that he did not like or trust the Istar. On the battlefield, leadership of Faramir, his ability with weapons, and quick yet tough decision-making came in as help. As the captain of the Rangers of Ithilien during the War of the Ring, he frequently engaged supporters of Sauron in combat in that province. Faramir did not like fighting for the sake of battle, but he bravely protected Gondor from the Enemy.

Aragorn acquired Elven wisdom due to his childhood in Rivendell with Elrond and the foresight of the Dúnedain. He was also a talented healer, particularly with the Athelas plant. In addition, he was a fearsome fighter and an unparalleled leader; following the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, it was reported that despite being in the center of the combat, he, Éomer, and Imrahil had not been hurt. He was described in The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen as frequently melancholic and gloomy with sporadic bursts of levity. Even though he never seemed to question his destiny or role as the future king of the Reunited Kingdom or his leadership role in the war against Sauron, he was not immune to self-doubt. After Gandalf was lost in Moria, he questioned the wisdom of his choices as the leader of the Fellowship and held himself responsible for many of their subsequent misfortunes. He also seemed to have an almost unbreakable will. He once succeeded in challenging Sauron psychically to take control of the Palantír of Orthanc, and he was triumphant. It should be mentioned that even Gandalf the White was hesitant to utilize the palantír out of concern that he would open himself up to the Dark Lord and confront Sauron head-on. His companions said he was mighty indeed in the strength of his resolve, noting his unchanging courage in the face of the Army of the Dead. During his life, he was regarded as -- the hardiest of living Men.

Basilica of Santi Cosma e Damiano is a titular church in Rome, Italy. The gateway to the upper level of the structure is located outside the Roman Forum, while the lower part of the building may be accessed inside the Forum and features genuine Roman buildings. The circular structure at the admission of the Forum, known as the Temple of Romulus, was likely constructed as a Roman temple in the early fourth century and may have been devoted to Valerius Romulus, the sanctified son of Emperor Maxentius. It currently houses a small archeological exhibition. Maybe the imperial forum library served as the principal structure. According to conventional wisdom, Emperor Maxentius erected the Temple in honor of his son and co-consul Valerius Romulus, who passed away in 309 and was granted celestial honors. The temple structure was likely a component of reconstruction program of astounding fervor of Maxentius, which he started after a devastating fire in 306; the project was only partially finished when he passed away. Based on the discovery of a coin dating to 307 AD that reveals the unique design of the structure and a nearby consecration to Valerius Romulus as a divinized mortal; thus the association of the temple with Valerius Romulus is provisional. There have also been speculative claims that the temple is a reconstruction of the ancient Jupiter Stator temple, or a Penates temple that Maxentius renovated. After becoming a church in 527, it has significant early Christian artwork that has been extensively repaired, particularly in its mosaics. It is currently one of the historic churches known as tituli, which the cardinals serve as cardinal-deacons. The basilica is situated in the Forum of Vespasian, sometimes referred to as the Forum of Peace, and is dedicated to the two Arabian Christian brothers, doctors, martyrs, and saints, Cosmas and Damian #History #Architecture
