The world lives in the darkness of several visions and the light of the present. But the surprising fact is everyone is more inquisitive about what is untold and whatever are mysterious than what has been revealed to all and sundry. The population believes in the sagas of the past. Christianity, however modernized the faith may have become in the recent times, still proudly flaunts its myths and fantasies. We still believe in the stories of Bible. Though all may not entirely believe the Christian sagas in the Bible, but at least it is an interesting read. We still feel a chill in our spines, when we hear the stories of miracle that Jesus performed. Christianity continues to enthrall us, even in this age of technology and science.
There are innumerable Christian sagas. But thorough analysis by the littérateurs and analyst has proved that some of the myths have pagan origin. Some traces of Egyptian, Persian, Greek and many such sources have been noticed in the Christian myths. The most important aspect that has been noticed in the Christian myths is the infusion of certain pagan elements to add a touch of mystery to the otherwise normal stories. Early Christians declined to use the term “myth” to canonical stories. According to them, myth is something that is a lie or falsehood. However, the Christian scholars in the present age, after having researched on the topic, declared that the canonical stories are indeed the most original and true myths.
The most amazing myth can be said to be the seven day creation of the world. The account of the plants and the animals being created and how there was darkness, which God transformed into light is indeed the most amazing description. Then the rise and fall of Satan and the creation of the Garden of Eden is indeed something that inspires awe and disbelief. Noah’s ark is also something that is almost mythical. Though some believe that the boat shaped formation of rock that has been discovered in the rocky terrains of turkey is Noah’s ark, but the truth is yet an ambiguity.
The birth of Jesus from Virgin Mary is another most intriguing subject. The journey of the magi from so far and yet finding the perfect stable is indeed very captivating. The most amazing myths or rather magical stories are that of Jesus Christ and how he cured people with his magical touch and his resurrections. The enlightened birth may shake our scientific mind as to whether it is possible. But then faith makes almost nothing impossible. Christianity is indeed a core feeling. You have to understand the Christian in your heart to believe the myths. Follow your heart and feel the difference. In case you are an atheist, read the mythical stories, which are there in the book of Christianity, with pleasure not to contradict.
