Pre-Christian religious mysteriesReligious mysteries formed an important part of the worship of a number of pre-Christian religions, including the Eleusinian Mysteries, Mithraism, the Cult of Isis, and the Cult of Sol Invictus. Dedicated devotees of the religion would be inducted into the mysteries by receiving special instruction. Due to the secrecy surrounding this special instruction, very little is now known about what was included in the mysteries.
Mystery traditions were popular in ancient Greece and during the height of the Roman Empire, and may have influenced the introduction of sacred mysteries in Christianity.
