Otra vez Jesús les habló, diciendo: Yo soy la luz del mundo; el que me sigue, no andará en tinieblas, sino que tendrá la luz de la vida.

 Otra vez les dijo Jesús: Yo me voy, y me buscaréis, pero en vuestro pecado moriréis; a donde yo voy, vosotros no podéis venir. ²² Decían entonces los judíos: ¿Acaso se matará a sí mismo, que dice: A donde yo voy, vosotros no podéis venir? ²³ Y les dijo: Vosotros sois de abajo, yo soy de arriba; vosotros sois de este mundo, yo no soy de este mundo. ²⁴ Por eso os dije que moriréis en vuestros pecados; porque si no creéis que yo soy, en vuestros pecados moriréis. ²⁵ Entonces le dijeron: ¿Tú quién eres? Entonces Jesús les dijo: Lo que desde el principio os he dicho. ²⁶ Muchas cosas tengo que decir y juzgar de vosotros; pero el que me envió es verdadero; y yo, lo que he oído de él, esto hablo al mundo. ²⁷ Pero no entendieron que les hablaba del Padre. ²⁸ Les dijo, pues, Jesús: Cuando hayáis levantado al Hijo del Hombre, entonces conoceréis que yo soy, y que nada hago por mí mismo, sino que según me enseñó el Padre, así hablo. (Una referencia a JUAN 3:14, OSEA LA SERPIENTE DE BRONCE/NUMERO PI)

 Dijo entonces Jesús a los judíos que habían creído en él: Si vosotros permaneciereis en mi palabra, seréis verdaderamente mis discípulos; ³² y conoceréis la verdad, y la verdad os hará libres. ³³ Le respondieron: Linaje de Abraham somos, y jamás hemos sido esclavos de nadie. ¿Cómo dices tú: Seréis libres? (Noten la fuerte interrelacion con ABRAHAM del LIBRO DE GALATAS)

³⁴ Jesús les respondió: De cierto, de cierto os digo, que todo aquel que hace pecado, esclavo es del pecado. ³⁵ Y el esclavo no queda en la casa para siempre; el hijo sí queda para siempre. ³⁶ Así que, si el Hijo os libertare, seréis verdaderamente libres. ³⁷ Sé que sois descendientes de Abraham; pero procuráis matarme, porque mi palabra no halla cabida en vosotros. ³⁸ Yo hablo lo que he visto cerca del Padre; y vosotros hacéis lo que habéis oído cerca de vuestro padre.

 Respondieron y le dijeron: Nuestro padre es Abraham. Jesús les dijo: Si fueseis hijos de Abraham, las obras de Abraham haríais. (Cristo es HIJO DE ABRAHAM EN CONTEXTO A LA GENEALOGIA DE MATEO EN SU PRIMER CAPITULO y obviamente a su nacimiento)

 Respondieron entonces los judíos, y le dijeron: ¿No decimos bien nosotros, que tú eres samaritano, y que tienes demonio? ⁴⁹ Respondió Jesús: Yo no tengo demonio, antes honro a mi Padre; y vosotros me deshonráis. ⁵⁰ Pero yo no busco mi gloria; hay quien la busca, y juzga. ⁵¹ De cierto, de cierto os digo, que el que guarda mi palabra, nunca verá muerte. ⁵² Entonces los judíos le dijeron: Ahora conocemos que tienes demonio. Abraham murió, y los profetas; y tú dices: El que guarda mi palabra, nunca sufrirá muerte. ⁵³ ¿Eres tú acaso mayor que nuestro padre Abraham, el cual murió? ¡Y los profetas murieron! ¿Quién te haces a ti mismo? ⁵⁴ Respondió Jesús: Si yo me glorifico a mí mismo, mi gloria nada es; mi Padre es el que me glorifica, el que vosotros decís que es vuestro Dios. (La gloria tiene un fuerte NEXO SABATICO Y CON LA NOVIA-EFESIOS 5 "IGLESIA GLORIFICADA" O EXODO 24)

Solstice Fire Worship USA Independence Day

   Does the United States worship the sun in keeping both solstices by holiday observances?  Half is already proved!  It is fairly well known that Christmas celebrates the winter solstice.  The founding fathers were mostly Freemasons and they kept two St. John's Days for solstices.  A view from Canada:

  ·  “Many towns and cities in Quebec celebrate the holiday with a bonfire in the town square and/or staging firework displays.  The celebrations are similar to those held in the U.S. to commemorate the 4th of July and in Canada on Canada Day."

    Could Independence and Canada Days (July 4 and 1) actually be keeping the summer solstice?  Perpetuating this holiday of Quebec which is plainly fire worship for sun power?  More from this Quebecer who keeps this fire and fireworks day for a true saint but on a false day.

  ·  "The origin of the holiday was the pagan celebration of the summer solstice; a celebration of light and a symbol of hope.  Then, in the reign of the French king Clovis, the annual event was christianized and became a religious celebration of the birth of  John the Baptist.  Saint John is known as the Precursor of Christ, the light of the world - thus the link with the solstice and the bonfires.

    "By the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, the annual celebration had grown and was celebrated with much fanfare everywhere and large processions in Montreal and Quebec City.  In 1925, the Quebec legislature declared the 24th of June a holiday.

    "In the past, the festivities would commence with a mass to commemorate St-Jean Baptiste.  A parade would follow through the streets of the village and would consist of a band, baton twirlers, children and men dressed in period costumes and floats. The last float would represent St-Jean Baptiste, which is usually a blond and curly haired child wearing sheep skin, holding a cane, and one or more lambs that would signify a shepherd and his flock of sheep.  Following the parade there was a banquet, entertainment, folkloric dances and the day would end with fireworks...

    "The Feast of Saint John the Baptist dates to the time of Christianity making its inroads into Gaul (France).  As was the custom of the early Church, local customs and feasts were assimilated into church-life. Celts, Romans and Franks lit bonfires (feux de joie) in honor of the Summer solstice, fire being associated with the origin of life.  By declaring the solstice to coincide with St. Jean-Baptiste Day, the common people simply continued age old traditions but for a different purpose.  The fires have since become the focal point of the festivities for they represent the ‘Light of the World’ (Christ) whom John came to announce..."

    So June 24 became the national day of Quebec, July 1 Canada Day and July 4 U.S. Independence Day all based on the same fire worship of summer solstice.  Bell ringing is popular (U.S. features the Liberty Bell).  Also muskets and cannons fired, thousands of fires lit.   

  ·  '"The Second Day of July 1776 will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America...It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires, and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.'  --John Adams to Abigail Adams, July 3, 1776"

    USA could have kept the 2nd when the Declaration was signed instead of when proclaimed on the 4th but more in line with an ancient rite:

Summer Solstice Kept on July 4th

    The pagan tradition from England called Baal's Fire or Old Midsummer's Fires is on July 4 (due to calendar change by pope Gregory 1582).  Continues Saxon solstice worship: 

  ·  "Baal Fire Whalton Northumberland.  Midsummer bonfire on Old Midsummer Day.  Fertility ritual for crops.  July 4th."

  ·  "Those who have witnessed the bonfires lighted up on the mountains of Mona on old Midsummer eve will perhaps have suggested to them  the Boal-tyn, or Baal's fire, and see some connection still subsisting between ourselves and the eastern fireworshippers."

  ·  "Northumberland is England's most northerly county...Experience the centuries old Midsummer Eve Bale Fire Ceremony at Whalton.  When the bonfire flames leap and the sparks flash the adjacent inn, the villagers celebrate an age-old custom linked to the pagan worship of the sun."

  ·  "The word solstice is derived from Latin and means ‘sun stands still’...The Saxons began their year at the midwinter solstice, and the summer solstice marked its mid-point.

    "In ancient Rome the midsummer solstice was sacred to Juno, the Queen of Heaven and guardian of the female sex... The rites of the goddess Ishtar and her lover Tammuz were celebrated at Midsummer in the Middle East, though further north they were celebrated at the vernal equinox.  The month of Tammuz corresponds to our June/July...Midsummer fires once blazed all across Europe and North Africa...

    "The word ‘bonfire’ has an unclear etymology...In the thirteenth century it was recorded that in Shropshire there were three types of fire, one of bones only called a bonfire, one of wood only called a wakefire, and a third of bones and wood called St. John’s Fire...

    "While the solstice generally falls around the 21st June Midsummer Eve is fixed as the 23rd June, St. John’s Eve, and Midsummer Day as St. John’s Day, the 24th June.  Then again, you may read of Old Midsummer Eve and Old Midsummer Day in early July.

    "It is generally accepted that the Christian missionaries persuaded the old Pagans to move their celebrations of the summer solstice to the Feast of St. John the Baptist on 24th June, thus pegging a moveable solstice feast to a definite date.  At least part of the confusion results from changes made to the calendar.  In 1582 Pope Gregory XIII wiped out ten days from the old Julian calendar to make  it astronomically correct.

    "However, the Gregorian calendar was not adopted in Britain until 1752 and Ireland until 1782, by which time eleven days had to be dropped.  Some towns refused to move their holiday, and Whalton in Northumberland still lights its fires on Old Midsummer Eve, 5th July.  From the evidence it seems that the Midsummer festival was a general holiday held over several days around the solstice...© Anna Franklin"

   So July 4 or 5 is Old Midsummer's Day and slightly reworked to become the Fourth in USA.  Celebrating works of fire a day to Baal from Britain.

  ·  "The Celtic Almanac...July 4  Bale Fire celebrations (Whalton, Northumberland, Scotland)...July 5  Old Midsummer's Day”

  ·  "Festivals in Penzance & West Cornwall [England]...The lively and colourful Golowan Festival - Gol-Jowan in the Cornish Language meaning 'Feast of John' - takes place during the last two weeks of June based in Penzance and is a celebration of the midsummer Feast of St. John and of ancient, Celtic traditions...a stupendous fireworks display..."

World Summer Solstice Fire Worship

    Japanese solstice or summer feast and fires (year 2000): 

  ·  "July 2:  Oouchi Juku Hange Matsuri... this festival celebrates the summer solstice ...July 21:  Urabandai Hi No Yama Matsuri Bon odori and fireworks are among the events planned for this festival...

    "July 22-23 The 52nd Annual Bandai Festival  This legendary fire festival will be held in Inawashiro-machi Chuo Shotengai Menuki Dori... July  24:  Fire Festival Approximately 4000 fireworks are shot into the sky at this event in Odaka-machi...Late July:  Fukushima Summer Festival Firework displays highlight the evening sky at this event."

  ·  "The largest festival of the year in Alicante [Spain] takes place the week before the colloquium, ending on St. John's Day (June 24th, Thursday), the Catholic observance of the summer solstice.  This festival includes street parties, evening fireworks, and the setting on fire of just-constructed carton monuments."

    Swedes’ solstice feast, maypole more than May 1:  "June 17 - Midsommars Dag...Swedish summer solstice festival, with Swedish music, folk dancing, decorating and raising of the maypole."

    USA's flag and fire days (June 14 and July 4) are centered 10 days from June 24.  Finland use to keep one flag/fire day then: 

  ·  "Midsummer in Finland...The festival is celebrated [now] on the Saturday that falls between 20th June and 26th June."

    Sometimes maypoles flew the national flag as in England.  In early USA, maypoles became liberty poles, then flag poles. 

    One World The Global Calendar states under July 4:  "The Day (USA) American Fire(works) Festival".  Early solstice festival in Michigan:  "Summer Solstice Festival  Saturday, June 10, 2000... Madison Heights, Michigan"  Also in Michigan, Pagans celebrated their Independence Day June 30, 2001 for Goddess Liberty (at least they admit goddess worship, U.S worships freedom):

  ·  "Lady Liberty: A Celebration of Religious Freedom   Join us as we honor the Goddess as Lady Liberty and celebrate our right to practice our religion and worship Her.  Saturday, June 30th, 2001”

    Russian feast from solstice to July 11: 

  ·  "June 21 to July 11:  White Nights Festival.  While the sun hardly sets, many musical concerts, theatrical performances, street events, fireworks and other celebrations take place throughout Moscow, St Petersburg and the Golden Ring area...”

  ·  "[In Poland] Varsovians will gather by the Vistula River on June 21 for a traditional event known as Wianki.  This is a custom associated principally with St. John's Night, the time of the summer solstice.  Wreaths are floated on the river, together with a firework display at midnight."

  ·  “[Italy] Water Festival (Late June - Early July)...Since very remote times Piediluco has always celebrated the summer solstice with rites, purification ceremonies, the lighting of fires and a water-parade of allegorical craft.  As time passed the festival retained its original features while gradually expanding to include other events.  Today it offers an illuminated procession of decorated boats by night, firework displays, theatrical performances and concerts of classical music."

Freemasons Keep Both Solstices

    Masons who founded the USA carried their solstice worship into it.  From Origin of Freemasonry by patriot Thomas Paine:

   ·  “The case is, that the day called St. John’s day, is the 24th of June, and is what is called Midsummer-day.  The sun is then arrived at the summer solstice...the 24th of June is always taken for Midsummer-day; and it is in honor of the sun, which has then arrived at his greatest height in our hemisphere, and not any thing with respect to St. John, that this annual festival of the Masons, taken from the Druids, is celebrated on Midsummer-day.”

  ·  “[By Grand Orator:]  Although 'Lodges' had existed for centuries, four of the 'old' Lodges met in London on St. John the Baptist's Day, June 24, 1717, and formed the first Grand Lodge of England, thereafter known as the Premier Grand Lodge of the world...The American colonial Masonic organizations stemmed from this Grand Lodge of England and were formed soon after 1717.”

  ·  "The festival days set aside for these two saints by Freemasonry are June 24, for Saint John the Baptist and December 27, for Saint John the Evangelist.  Both of these dates coincide with the Summer and Winter Solstices respectively...

    "Prior to Christianity, the celebration of the change of the seasons were marked with many pagan celebrations.  For example, December 25 was already a major festival in the pagan Roman world.  The Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, or 'Birthday of the Unconquered Sun', falling within the week-long celebration of the Saturnalia, was a feast honoring the renewal of the sun at the winter solstice.

    "It included feasting, dancing, lighting bonfires, decorating homes with greens, and giving gifts.  The early Church wanted these pagan festivals stopped but they were very popular with the people and they continued to celebrate them.

    "The solution to the problem was simple; substitute Christian meanings and Saints to these holidays and continue to celebrate them.  Therefore, the celebration of the summer solstice became the Festival of Saint John the Baptist and the celebration of the winter solstice became the Festival of Saint John the Evangelist...[written by] Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite"

    Early U.S. parades were performed by Masons, the only rich group that could afford to show their pomp and regalia.  A Mason describes Masonic celebration of St. John's Days, the summer one (of red, white, blue and Uncle Sam) resembles Independence Day:

  ·  "The writer of this article remembers very vividly that back in the 'Teens' when the two great events of the year we looked forward to was the 24th of June Celebration and Christmas.  He remembers that on one celebration during the years of the World War II era that the mothers made costumes of material of red-white-blue with tall hat depicting the picture of ‘Uncle Sam’ and the children and adults marched in a parade of that celebration...

    "The Revolutionary War was a distinctly Masonic enterprise. The Boston Tea Party was organized in St. Andrew's Lodge, at, an adjourned meeting, and every member of the party which threw tea into the harbor was a member of that Lodge.  Paul Revere was Junior Warden of that Lodge and the man who set the lantern in the Old South Church was also a member.  More than 50 of the 56 signees of the Declaration of Independence were members of the Masonic Fraternity.

    "All but four of five of the members of the Constitutional Convention were Masons.  Richard Henry Lee, who moved the resolution of Independence in the Continental Congress, was a Mason.  Lee, and all five members of that committee, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sherman, and Robert Livingston, were members of the order.

    "...[The 1st] American flag was made by the widow of John Ross, a Mason.  Washington took the oath of office as President of the United States upon the Bible brought from St. John's Lodge No.1, New York and the oath was administered by Chancellor Livingston, Grand Master, of  the State of New York.  The Governors of every one of the original 13 States at the time Washington was inaugurated were Masons.

    Masonic Bibles have their occult symbols and essays.  Though the 'holy' book need not be a Bible, the Koran will do.

    George Washington is recorded keeping five St. John’s Days:  3 Baptist's and 2 Evangelist’s Days with Masonic customs. 

   ·  “The conversion of the Julian dates into Gregorian dates, had in fact been imposed by Pope Gregory XIII in October 1582 but, in fact, was not adopted into the American colonies until 1752, by coincidence the same year that George Washington was initiated in Freemasonry at Fredericksburg.  According to the old Julian calendar the 21 June was no longer the summer solstice but, instead, fell on the 4th of July of the new Gregorian calendar... Freemasons consider their own ‘New Year’ to begin at the summer solstice, which in the old Julian calendar would be the ‘4th July’.”

Goddess of Liberty French Worship Idea

    Just as Masons have their winter solstice holiday, the French celebrate Lux Mundi to the goddess of Light or Statue of Liberty.  Same goddess and idea of liberty worshiped in U.S. Independence Day.  Also similar idea of International Human Rights Day, same "day to reflect on the rights of all people".  Called Goddess of Liberty Festival in France where many replicas of the Statue of Liberty are as they gave the gift and spread the worship of liberty to USA.  Universal Festival Calendar: 

  ·  "12/10 is also the date of the Roman festival of Lux Mundi ('light of the world'), still celebrated in Europe, especially in France, where this day commemorates Liberty, the goddess of light whose Statue was presented by France to the United States.  This is among the first of the festivals of light traditionally held in the weeks before the winter solstice; and one of many goddess festivals of peace and freedom held in early December, before the more raucous events (see the Saturnalia at 12/18 below) that precede the winter solstice."

  ·  "December 10 Lux Mundi  French festival, also old Roman festival.  It celebrates the Light of the World, and epithet of goddess Liberty.  Her statue graces New York Harbor." 

    Liberty's blasphemous title mocks Christ (John 8:12).  Her tablet has July 4th on it when she was dedicated and she is featured that day.  Liberty worshiped in USA especially then.  Georgetown Jesuit Plantation Project: 

  ·  "Was not the Goddess of Liberty set up and adored in France during the French Revolution?"

  ·  "French:  The Goddess of Liberty, Lux Mundi, the Light of the World. (Brewer, Dict.) ‘Liberty. The Goddess of Liberty.  On December 10th, 1793, Mlle. Malliard, an actress, was selected to personify the “Goddess of Liberty”.  Being brought to Notre Dame she was seated on the altar,  and lighted a large candle to signify that Liberty was the “light of the world”...’"

Winter Solstice Fire Worship

    Winter solstice holidays (Feast of Light as old Saturnalia):  Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanza spread from late November to early January.  Article tells how Christmas began in earnest late 1800s in USA with Dicken's Christmas Carol, also:

  ·  "The Winter Solstice Festival by Tony Palermo...The Jewish rabbinical holiday of Hanukkah is another Winter Solstice celebration.  Hanukkah commemorates the rebuilding of the Temple after Judah Maccabee defeated King Antiochus.  A menorah was found, but there was only enough oil to keep the lamp lit for one day--miraculously, it lasted eight days!  The Hanukkah 'festival of lights' is clearly a metaphor for the Solstice’s lengthening of the light--the return of the Sun.  Few Jews recognize the connection between their holiday and the pagan Solstice festivats reach back to the pagan practice of sun and fire worship in the deep mid-winter.  This evolved into the ancient Saturnalia, a great Roman winter festival where people celebrated completely free of restraint and inhibition.  They would light bonfires...A true Scottish New Year's Eve is replete with street parties and fireworks."

    Winter solstice Jan. 6 of Eastern Church: 

  ·  "In Rome, under the emperor Aurelian, celebrations for the feast of the 'Invincible Sun' had been held on December 25 since the year 274.  The Christians picked this same date to counter those pagan festivities connected with the winter solstice.

    "The Eastern Church initially preferred January 6, the second time of the year associated with winter solstice.  In the course of time, however, the West added the Eastern date as the feast of the Epiphany...

    "In the traditional church calendar the pre-Christmas season of Advent was one of quiet preparation for the coming or birth of Christ.  However, since the Industrial Revolution, the Christmas season has lost some of its religious fervor and has become a commercially venturesome time of the year for many business people."

     As holidays and the world become more secular, though continue Satan’s worship.

Fireworks ‘War Zone’ - Showered in Fire

    Should a peace-loving people celebrate with "bombs bursting in air" of fireworks labeled by manufacturers with war names as Firing Squad?  With gun and cannon fire and battle enactments as Independence Day?  The day fathers and sons throw caution to the wind and play with fire as pyromaniacs.  Barcelona, Spain: 

  ·  "One could argue that Catalans are a nation of pyromaniacs (witness the correfoc):  there's no better evidence for this than the night of 23 June, the eve or verbena of Sant Joan (24 June), strictly speaking the feast of Saint John the Baptist.  This is La Nit del Foc, the 'night of fire', throughout Catalonia and the Balearics; marking the summer solstice (to which Saint John's is the nearest saint's day).  It's clearly pagan in origin, and the wildest night of the year.

    "Nowadays the huge bonfires that used to burn at every road junction in the city have been banned, but they still fill the ramblas of towns up and down the coast, and even in the city there are still one or two 'private initiatives'.  For a week before Sant Joan, the June air is ripped apart by explosions, as every school kid in town spends his or her pocket-money on terrifying bangers.

    "Come the night itself, the city sounds like a virtual war zone, with impromptu firework displays exploding from balconies and squares... Marking the 'official' start of summer, this is the night of the year when Catalans really let their hair down, and the atmosphere is thick with excitement and gunpowder as midsummer madness takes a grip."

    Japanese showered in fire for New Year: 

  ·  "In Yanshui Township in Tainan County, the Lantern Festival is celebrated not with the serene sight of colorful lanterns, but with the raucous revelry of a fireworks shower.  The fireworks are launched from a battery of bamboo tubes tied together, with thousands of the projectiles launched continuously and pelting spectators like a swarm of bees.  For this reason, the event is also known as the 'Swarm of Fireworks.'

    "The festival begins at dusk with the setting off of the fully adorned spirit palanquin and carriers from Wu Temple, throughout the whole town streets, all one can see or smell are fireworks.  The most impressive of all the fireworks is the ‘cannon wall’ which is lit to thank the gods for their blessing.  The scale of the cannon walls vary, though most consist of tens of thousands of firecrackers which pound the sky with a deafening roar.  When the spirit palanquin approaches the cannon wall, the wall custodian pulls open the red cloth and lights the firecrackers, releasing an explosion of light, color and ear-splitting sound that is the climax of the fireworks evening...

    "In order to enjoy the fireworks without sustaining injury, it is necessary to cover oneself from head to toe in protective raingear, gloves and a helmet, as if preparing for battle.  When under attack from the hail of bullets, with the flash and sound of explosions all around, participants can enjoy firsthand the world's most thunderous folk ceremony."

    Does it have to get this bad, showered with the works of fire before Americans realize Independence Day continues the biblically condemned practice of passing through fire?  Most ancient holiday practices have been cleaned up, modernized to not look so bad.  Yet all the worldly holidays are ungodly and mock God’s Sabbaths.

    We have seen holidays for both winter and summer solstices spread at least two weeks on either side of them.  Including Canada Day and USA Independence Day with similar fire and light themes of Baal’s fires. 

    Already known is USA's keeping of the winter solstice with Christmas and New Year's Day.  We should not aid their pagan worship as in helping with parking for the Rose Parade on New Year’s Day or passing out a schedule of events that day. Spiritually equivalent to an ancient Israelite selling programs for a Baal feast.  Instead of helping (to raise funds), the people of God should denounce such ungodly activity.

    Freemasons who set up the government also kept Catholic saints' days and carried these syncretized pagan customs into USA holidays.

    Someone might object claiming he does not worship the sun or solstice July 4 in keeping Independence Day:  Same could be said of Christmas by most people thinking they are honoring Christ, yet they further the pagan solstice tradition, anyway.  Same goes for those worshiping Sunday not idolizing the sun.  They worship falsely even if they do not realize it.

    Other articles of mine contain more about the unrighteous Fourth, and:  Expose the real meaning of USA’s flag for sun worship.  Compare the Stars and Stripes to other early USA flags as the rattlesnake ones (Satan's image) and to other modern Israelite nations' flags, mostly pagan crosses of ‘saints’.  Pagan gods at Washington, DC convey wisdom to famous Americans (not my opinion but of Library of Congress) and many gods/idols displayed at national buildings.

    The first July 4th since the September 11th disaster will be celebrated with more fanfare, flag waving and freedom touting.  Continued 'breast-beating' and bravado, instead of repentance and obeying God.  The goddess of Liberty still worshiped. 

    Her 7-rayed crown copying the ancient sun god Helios, the Colossus of Rhodes (with freedom torch) or woman (false church) on reverse of a pope medal.  Sun worship as the Washington Monument, exactly like Egyptian sun obelisks. 

    The sun representing the god of this world, Satan, celebrated Sundays and solstices.  And in the Gregorian calendar, strictly based on the sun.  The false basis on which all U.S. holidays are founded.
