The Resurrection, March 25th and the Galli

I have been wrestling with the 37 A.D. period for several reasons but one of which is that that begins to explain a strange statement one keeps hearing among the heretics (though I am trying to place where exactly) that it wasn't Jesus who was killed on the Passover but the ruler of the world. I know the rabbinic and Dosithean tradition say one thing but a Saturday March 16 (utilizing the "before or after" system you wrote about) leads to the death of Tiberius on the preparation day, the 17th as the Sabbath, 18th as the Sunday and the 25th as the resurrection day. Tertullian preserves a tradition associated with March 25 (although he says it is the Passover). But more importantly it is also the tradition day of Attis' resurrection. You know how those Marcionites liked doing what those Attis worshippers did. How fitting that their resurrected Christ would share the same day.

I know it is difficult for most people to accept the similarities between the galli and the Marcionite followers but consider the following festival parallels that emerge. "The Hilaria was a festival of Cybele that honoured Attis, her son and lover: March 15, his finding by Cybele among the reeds on the bank of the River Gallus; March 22, his self-mutilation; March 24, fasting and mourning at his death; and March 25 the resurrection."

Consider what I have already observed about the closeness of Mark to his mother Mary Salome in the gospel. He then marries his sister Berenice who becomes not only a saint in her own right but another Mary (i.e. taking the place of his mother). There is something here my friend. The question is does anyone want to find it.
