Tragic I've known this for some years now... I think since I was 14? Oh yeah, It's all about Sol.
 
He was basically all those other figures with a little Freddie Mercury thrown in.

Master: "Happy Saturnalia! Here's your freedom hat! We're equals!"

Slave: "Thank you, master!" (puts on hat and primps in the mirror)

You know who did notice? Christian missionaries. They notice everything. So, one missionary of the Christian persuasion, Winfred (aka Saint Boniface), came upon an imminent sacrifice and sternly disapproved. He took an ax and chopped down Thor's freaking oak, which in itself should make him some sort of god by default. Of course, because of his boring ass monotheistic beliefs, instead of declaring himself the god of thunder, Winfred focussed on a tiny little fir tree that grew from the hacked trunk. And as all Cracked readers likely know, the fir trees' triangular shape represents the Trinity, and voila, a Christian tradition was born.

Rofl, love that. Who wouldn't have been like 'Fuck you, I am Thor, fuck your tree, get me a beer and some big breasted Viking maidens, NOW!'

But as for the bolded, they stole that too :P

I'm surprised that they didn't add in the Solstice, where in Britain the Pagans, Druids and Goddess Worshippers celebrated the death of the Summer God by being killed by the Winter God, as the days were so short.
