Savior, Krishna, was born of a virgin 600 years before Christ.
A star shone at his birth which took place in a cave. He was adored by
cowherds who recognized his greatness, he performed miracles, was
crucified, and is to come to judge the earth.
Christ died for mankind,--so did Buddha and Krishna. Adonis, Osiris,
Horus, and Tammuz, all virgin-born gods, were saviors and suffered
death. Christ rose from the dead, so have Krishna and Buddha arisen from
the dead and ascended into Heaven. So did Lao Kium, Zoroaster, and
Mithra.
A star shone in the sky at the births of Krishna, Rama Yu, Lao Tsze,
Moses, Quetzalcoatl, Ormuzd, Rama, Buddha, and others. Christ was born
of a virgin, so was Krishna and Buddha. Lao Tsze was also born of a
virgin. Horus in Egypt was born of the Virgin Isis. Isis, with the child
Horus on her knee, was worshiped centuries before the Christian era, and
was appealed to under the names of "Our Lady," "Queen of Heaven," "Star
of Heaven," "Star of the Sea," "Mother of God," and so forth. Hercules,
Bacchus, and Perseus were gods born by mortal mothers. Zeus, father of
the gods, visited Semele in the form of a thunderstorm and she gave
birth, on the 25th of December, to the great savior and deliverer,
Dionysis.
Mithra was born of a virgin, in a cave, on the 25th of December. He was
buried in a tomb from which he rose again. He was called savior and
mediator and sometimes figured as a lamb. Osiris was also said to be
born about the 25th of December; he suffered, died, and was resurrected.
Hercules was miraculously conceived from a divine father and was
everywhere invoked as savior. Minerva had a more remarkable birth than
Eve; she sprang full-armed from the brow of Jupiter. He did this
remarkable feat without even losing a rib.
The Chinese Tien, the holy one, died to save the world. In Mexico,
Quetzalcoatl, the savior, was the son of Chimalman, the Virgin Queen of
Heaven. He was tempted, fasted forty days, was done to death, and his
second coming was eagerly looked for by the natives. The Teutonic
Goddess Hertha, was a virgin, and the sacred groves of Germany contained
her image with a child in her arms. The Scandinavian Goddess Frigga was
a virgin who bore a son, Balder, healer and savior of mankind.

beliefs with Christian traditions if one believes with Justin Martyr,
