Horus is an Egyptian god, the son of Isis and Osiris.

Horus and Jesus

The nineteenth-century British poet and author Gerald Massey claimed that Jesus and Horus shared identical mythological origins. Massey's writings influenced various later authors such as Alvin Boyd Kuhn, Tom Harpur, and Acharya S.

Although critical scholarship dismisses this variant of the Jesus Myth Theory, the influence of Egyptian cults is noticeable in the worship and iconography of the Church.
