"Cult of Mithra" by Julia Tomashevskaya-Garachuk

What would happen to European civilization if in 313 Emperor Constantine did not equalize all religions and cults in the empire?              According to the "Edict of Milan" Rome was declared a space of religious tolerance. The era of persecution of Christians ended, and now it was possible to legally accept the newly converted to their community, but who were the pagans of yesterday, who were worshiped and what they believed in?              Religious historians claim that if the Roman Empire had not adopted Christianity, it would have remained faithful to the Iranian god Mithra.              ☑ What was so attractive about this religion?       ☑ How did the cult of the sun-like god become so popular that today the shrines of Mithras can be found practically throughout Europe?       ☑ In what Christian rites can one meet the echoes of an ancient doctrine and how did the fate of Mithraism in their homeland in Iran develop?              We will answer these and many other questions at our meeting on October 29.
