Happy Mithrasmas

Yes, it's that time of year once more when we celebrate the birth of Mithras.
Where we dress in our finest clothes, visit one another and exchange presents whether over the time of the winter celebrations of Mithras or the feasting at the Roman celebration of Saturnalia.
So, raise a glass, slaughter your bull, put a Druidic Log on your Yuletide fire, imbibe some strong drink and enerally have a good time.
The photograph shows a small part of my gladiator collection wondering why there is a snow-laden fir tree in the arena.
From all of us here at the Ludus of Josephus have a merry Mithrasmas.

P.S. Sorry for the day's delay in posting, but I was poorly yesterday after a visit to the hospital where I found my appointment had been cancelled!

  5. Season's greetings Joe.

    I read on Ceefax that the big event this year, in North Yorkshire at least, is Hanukkah (an event being held at York's Clifford's Tower - the site of a Jewish massacre in 1190 AD/CE). So that being the case... Hanukkah Sameach!
