Mary and St. John		St. Anthony

This prophesy made near about sixth century B.C. seems to be very confusing. It was made by an unknown fortune-teller. About 530 B.C. Cyrus was killed in an expedition he led in Middle East. His head was cut off and kept in a big leather bag, commonly called mashak. This mashak was full of blood of some animal. It was then only that people could realize the relevance of that confusing prophesy made regarding Cyrus. Before the event, it must have seemed to be a conundrum to the people.
