Sun Worship Symbols | Paganism and Catholicism

Virtually all symbols of sun worship exist in present-day Roman Catholic cathedrals.

St. Peter’s in Rome has one of the greatest collection of pagan symbols in the world. The main altar at St. Peter’s, Bernini’s Canopy, has the symbols of the serpent, sun and moon worship, and male and female forms of sun rays. The altar has Pope Joane (the only female pope in history) depicted in pains of childbirth representing the birth of the sun god. Read more about the family system in pagan sun worship

St. Peter's Square. Note the obelisk and eight-spoked sun wheel forming the shape of the square.

Other symbols of sun worship found in Catholicism include the solar wheel dating back to the time of the Chaldeans. It is found on virtually all cathedrals today. The square of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome consists of the largest solar wheel in the world. The square is circular and the wheel has eight spokes.

Moreover, in St. Peter’s Square, there is a wheel within a wheel, which is a counterfeit of the mobile throne of God, as described by the prophet Ezekiel. As a counterfeit, it represents the throne of the Dragon who gives the Beast his seat and great authority. In the center of the square is an obelisk, a phallic symbol dedicated to the worship of the sun. The Vatican is built on the hill where the temple of Janus the sun god stood. Alongside St. John’s Lateran, which is the church where the Pope is crowned and where he speaks infallibly, is the obelisk of Tutmoses III, which was dedicated to Reharakti, the sun god.

Many other symbols of sun worship are used in Catholicism, such as halos, pagan crosses, lightning bolts, hand-signals from sun worship cults, tridents, the fleur-de-lis, and sexagesimal triangles with the eye of Horus.

Coptic shells, which in paganism served as a symbol of the cosmos, were also used, along with astrological signs. Globes serve as symbols of rulership of the universe, and pagan gods carried the globe. The largest globe in the world is on top of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.

The Catholic Church also uses sacred heart symbols, sacred animal symbols, and fertility symbols such as pine cones. Pagan deities wore the pine cone on their crosier just as the popes do today. Catholics also use prayer beads for repetitive prayers, even though the Bible admonishes, “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking” (Matthew 6:7).

<p>An ancient pagan place of worship built into the hillside in Syria where the monastery of Saydanaya is located. The pagan worship cave is sealed with the black iron door. Triple arches were common in pagan worship and are also used in Mary veneration. On the top of this hill is a monastery containing a <a title="Syrian Icon, Weeping Statues Gallery" href="../albums.html?action=picture&aid=5423351265370254289&pid=Saydanaya+icon.jpg" target="blank">painting that drips oil</a>. Catholic structures are often built over ancient pagan sites. <br /><br /></p>

The <a title="Read our article: Sun Worship" href="../S-deception_end-time_paganism_Catholic_sun-worship" target="blank">pagan deities</a> were worshiped by ancient priests in many forms, one of which was the fish, representing <a title="Priest of Dagon, Papal Vestments Gallery" href="../albums.html?action=picture&aid=5426350051771649217&pid=fish-god2.png" target="blank">Dagon</a>, the fish god. </p>

<p>This altar in the basement of the Basilica of San Clemente shows Christianized wording in Latin on one side, with petroglyphs of pagan sun worship on the other side. Both religions worshiped in the same capacity, used the same venues and altars, and eventually fused into one. <br /><br />As James Wharey wrote on page 24 of <a title="Google books: Sketches of Church History" href="http://books.google.ca/books?id=4Bls82iWjV4C" target="blank"><em>Sketches of Church History</em></a> (Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1840), "when Christianity became the established religion of the Roman Empire, and took the place of paganism, it assumed, in a great degree, the forms and rites of paganism...Christianity as it existed in the dark ages, might be termed, without much impropriety of language, <em>baptized paganism</em>." </p>

<p>In the garden of a Roman Catholic Church in southern Germany, a statue of they call "David" carrying the sheep around his neck. Is this really David or a representation of Pan? This figure is holding a pan flute—an instrument that David never played. <br /><br />Page 37 of Catholic historian Theodore Maynard's <em>The Story of American Catholicism</em> says, "Catholicism is overlaid with many pagan incrustations. Catholicism...is ready to accept that accusation—and even to make it her boast...The great god Pan is not really dead, he is baptized." <br /><br />Pan was the god of the groves and the god of fear (from which we get our word "panic"). Pagan gods had a good or evil side. He is worshiped either as a beautiful young man who carries the sheep, or as the one with the goat’s feet, depending on which aspect you are looking at. The dark and the light are one and the same. </p>

<p>"Maria" inscription above a grotto. This is the occult version of Mary. The "M" is the sigma on its side—a symbol used by the occult world. Freemasonry uses the "M" as one of its chief identifying features. The "A" is above the "M" as a triangle, and the dot of the "i" above the "A"serves as the sun symbol. The remainder of the name, "Ria," is an ancient goddess of the east. Watch our ADtv video about the <a href="https://amazingdiscoveries.tv/media/132/219-the-wine-of-babylon/">Wine of Babylon</a> for more information. </p>

<p>You will often find Mary depicted in a cave setting when you visit the gardens of Catholic churches. This is just like the ancient goddess of the grove.

<p>St. Peter's Basilica, topped with a sun dome. Catholic cathedrals are often built on the ancient sites where <a title="Read our article: Paganism and Catholicism" href="../S-deception_end-time_paganism_Catholic_Mithraism" target="blank">pagan</a> deities were worshiped. <br /><br />The construction of Catholic cathedrals also mimics the ancient pagan structures by including features such as the sun dome, triangles, and crosses. The circular pillared structure at the top is called "the seat of the goddess." All the great cathedrals are built just as in the druidic system—a channel of pillar stones leading to a central circle—the ancient pagan sexual symbol. </p>

<p>"Keys of Peter" depicted on a Catholic building. The Papacy claims to have the keys of Peter— the keys to heaven and hell. St. Alphonsus Liguori, in his <em>The Dignities and Duties of the Priest (1927)</em> tell us, "The priest has the power of the keys, or the power of delivering sinners from Hell, of making them worthy of Paradise, and of changing them from the slaves of Satan into the children of God. And God Himself is obliged to abide by the judgment of His priests, and either not to pardon or to pardon." If this is true, then a system determines your eternal future, rather than God. <br /><br /></p>
