Mithra had many parallels with Jesus. And one of the most striking ones was the last supper. Mithra was also believed to have held a last supper with his (twelve!) apostles before dying and going to heaven. Mithra would have spoken:
"He who shall not eat of my body or drink of my blood, so that he may be one with me and I with him, shall not be saved."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To give you a taste of just how strikingly close the parallels are, we’ll give you two quick examples – about the creation of Adam from clay, and Eve from Adam’s rib:
The Instruction for Merikare (Egypt, 2100 BC): The first human is breathed to life through his nose:“He [the sun god Ra] gave the breath of life to their noses, for they are likenesses of Him which issued from His flesh”
Sumerian mythology: The goddess Ninhursag takes out one of the ribs of Enki, another god. Then she makes a woman out of the rib, ‘Ninti’ – literally: ‘lady of the rib’.
That's all I have to highlight atm.
