Growing out Zoroastrianiam, Mithraism was, for a time, a major religion in the western Roman Empire and some believe it came close to becoming the dominant one (rather than Christianity). Others dispute this possibility.
Either way, Mithras appears on a number of Victorian buildings around the city, along with a wide variety of Greek, Roman, Egyptian and pagan religious iconography.

We often think of Victorian Britain as being staunchly Christian, but their buildings are decorated wih sculptures from many different religious traditions. In this case, it's the Romano-Persian God Mithras on the 1890s Sun Life Building on West George Street on Glasgow.

🎄 Why do we celebrate #Christmas on December 25th? The ongoing debate about its links to pagan festivals like #SolInvictus ☀️ and #Mithraism raises questions about early Church syncretism and the evolution of Christian identity. Here is an overview of the current historical facts of this debate:

The date of December 25th, celebrated worldwide as Christmas, is traditionally recognized as the birthday of Jesus Christ. However, historical research suggests that this date was not chosen based on evidence of Jesus’ actual birthdate. Instead, it aligns with significant pre-Christian festivals, particularly those associated with the Roman sun god Sol Invictus and possibly the cult of Mithras. This intentional overlap reflects the early Church’s efforts to integrate Christian celebrations into the cultural and religious world of the Roman Empire, raising critical questions about the impact of this syncretism on the authenticity of Christian identity and practice
