One of the key features of Mithraism was a sacrificial meal, which involved eating the flesh and drinking the blood of a bull. Mithras, the god of Mithraism, was “present” in the flesh and blood of the bull, and when consumed, granted salvation to those who partook of the sacrificial meal (this is known as theophagy, the eating of one’s god).
Si Mithra, ang diyos ng Mithraism ay nasa laman at dugo ng toro na sa tuwing kakainin at iinumin ay nagbibigay ng kaligtasan sa sinumang kakain ng laman at iinom ng dugo niyon (doktrina ng theopagy — pagkain sa diyos).
