Iranians have been celebrating the birth of "Mithra" on December 21st, for
7000 years. Part of that celebration involved decoration of evergreen trees,
Pine or Cypress tree (Sarv). To Iranians "Sarv" is a symbol of greatness and
strength, and as a result they never cut the trees for celebration, but
simply decorated them with religious and cultural symbols.

"Sarv-e-Abarkooh", the oldest cypress tree in the World, located in
Abarkooh, Yazd. The age of this tree is estimated around 4000 years or more.
It has a thick stem 4.5 meters. Its diameter is 35 meters.
=====
Europeans up to 1700 years ago were largely Mithraists, until Roman emperor
Constantine made
Christianity the state religion. All emperors following Constantine were
openly hostile towards Mithraists. The religion was persecuted on the
grounds that it was the religion of Persians, the arch-enemies of the
Romans. Mithraists were slaughtered and Mithraic temples (mithraeum) were
destroyed. If Roman emperor Constantine had not been converted to
Christianity, Europeans today would still be Mithraists. Nevertheless, the
new Christians kept many customs of Mithraism.

Longest Night of the Year
The solstice is either of the two times a year when the Sun is at its
greatest distance from the celestial equator, the great circle on the
celestial sphere that is on the same plane as the earth's equator. In the
Northern Hemisphere, the winter solstice (Yule, "wheel" of the year), occurs
either December 21 or 22, when the sun shines directly over the tropic of
Capricorn; the summer solstice occurs either June 21 or 22, when the sun
shines directly over the tropic of Cancer. In the Southern Hemisphere, the
winter and summer solstices are reversed.
The winter solstice marks the shortest day and the longest night of the
year. The sun appears at its lowest point in the sky, and its noontime
elevation appears to be the same for several days before and after the
solstice. Hence the origin of the word solstice, which comes from Latin
"solstitium", from sol (sun) and -stitium (a stoppage). Following the winter
solstice, the days begin to grow longer and the nights shorter.

As a blue eyes pagan of Mayan
desent with magical psychedelic
powers -- I projected myself to
December 21st, 2012 and found
that that day ended and there
was great darkness all over. So,
I waited and then the Sun came
up over the horizon and every
thing continued without problems
and I got in my UFO and headed
home.
