A common example of a story invented to explain a natural occurrence is the myth of Persephone and the changing seasons. According to Greek mythology, Persephone's annual descent into the underworld to be with Hades was believed to be the reason for the cycle of seasons changing from spring to winter and back again. This myth provided an explanation for the changing seasons that ancient Greeks observed.
the story of Virgo is the same of that in Egyptian, isis, or greek or roman, venus and aphrodite, or in Christianity and catholics, mother Mary the virgin that gave birth
The story of the Dutch boy putting his finger in the dike is a myth. It originates from Hans Brinker, a fictional character in a novel by Mary Mapes Dodge. The story has been popularized as a tale of heroism and quick thinking, but it is not based on any historical event or real-life incident.
The story follows as such An angel had appeared to Mary and said that she was to have a baby of the lord and that she was to name him Jesus. Mary and Joseph then travelled to Bethlehem and they stayed in a stable/barn and she had baby Jesus (he was born in a manger inside the barn). Three wise men came bearing gifts for the new born king because they believed that he was the "king of the Jews". And that is the story of the birth of Jesus.
A commonly used example of this is the ancient Greek myth of the changing seasons, which tells of how the abduction of Persephone by Hades explains the cycle of the seasons. In reality, the seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the sun.

myth: a traditional story accepted as history; serves to explain the world view of a people
Yes, actually it is. A myth is nothing more than a story. Traditionally, myths involve legendary people who do heroic deeds. However such is not required for any story to be a myth. And, Scream is a story.

Frankincense is one of the gifts brought by the wise men to baby Jesus in the nativity story. It symbolizes worship, prayer, and the divine nature of Jesus as a gift fit for a king or deity.
