Le mithraeum de Sidon Edmond Durighello, antiquaire extravagant, découvrit à Sidon, en 1887, un sanctuaire dédié à Mithra (mithraeum) ; il n'en révéla pas l'emplacement exact, mais laissa un groupe de sculptures qui en provenait. Le culte à Mithra, dieu iranien, est un culte à mystères, impliquant une initiation ; la victoire du dieu dans le combat, au nom de l'humanité, entre le bien et le mal -- et manifestée symboliquement par la mort du taureau -- explique le vif succès rencontré par son culte dans tout l'Empire. Mithra Tauroctone (tuant le taureau) - Mithraic Tauroctony 389 ap. J.-C. Mithraeum, Sidon (Saïda, Liban) Marbre (documentation Musée du Louvre) "Le dieu Mithra fut vénéré à Sidon. Les grottes ou les cryptes souterraines étaient les lieux choisis pour célébrer les rites mystérieux en l'honneur du dieu. Ces sanctuaires étaient divisés par une allée centrale. Mithra, divinité de la lumière céleste, était généralement accompagnée de deux porteurs de torches vêtus à l'orientale. Cette religion est d'origine perse. D'après la légende, Mithra rencontra un taureau sauvage dans un pâturage de la montagne, le saisit par ses cornes et le chevaucha. Le taureau se mit à galoper et après une course folle s'effondra exténué. Mithra souleva les pattes arrière de l'animal et les hissa sur son épaule. Il traîna longtemps ce lourd fardeau et franchit des obstacles difficiles avant d'atteindre une grotte. Le chemin ardu qui mène à une grotte (transitus) est une allégorie à la souffrance humaine. Cependant le taureau réussit à s'échapper. Mithra et son chien se mirent à ses trousses. Lorsqu'il eut rattrapé l'animal, il le saisit par ses nasaux et enfonça un couteau dans sa gorge. C'est alors que le miracle s'accomplit. Des plantes utiles et salutaires jaillirent du taureau agonisant, sa moelle fit germer du blé et son sang produisit des ceps de vigne. En accomplissant ce sacrifice auquel il s'était résigné, Mithra devint le créateur de toutes les bonnes choses." http://fabienne.et.wassim.free.fr/saida1/collections.htm#Louvre

Mysteries Of Mithra The Iranian God That Was Worshiped By The Romans Before Christianity And Letter Became Christ. Like It Was Spoken Of Deuteronomy 32:17.
The Mithraic Mysteries were a mystery religion practised in the Roman Empire from about the 1st to 4th centuries AD. The name of the Persian god Mithra, adapted into Greek as Mithras, was linked to a new and distinctive imagery. Romans also called the religion Mysteries of Mithras or Mysteries of the Persians; modern historians refer to it as Mithraism, or sometimes Roman Mithraism. The mysteries were popular in the Roman military.
Worshippers of Mithras had a complex system of seven grades of initiation, with ritual meals. Initiates called themselves syndexioi, those "united by the handshake". They met in underground temples (called a mithraeum), which survive in large numbers. The cult appears to have had its epicentre in Rome.
Numerous archeological finds, including meeting places, monuments, and artifacts, have contributed to modern knowledge about Mithraism throughout the Roman Empire. The iconic scenes of Mithras show him being born from a rock, slaughtering a bull, and sharing a banquet with the god Sol (the Sun). About 420 sites have yielded materials related to the cult. Among the items found are about 1000 inscriptions, 700 examples of the bull-killing scene (tauroctony), and about 400 other monuments. It has been estimated that there would have been at least 680-690 Mithraea in Rome. No written narratives or theology from the religion survive, with limited information to be derived from the inscriptions, and only brief or passing references in Greek and Latin literature. Interpretation of the physical evidence remains problematic and contested.
