why is easter important with Christ?

Answer 1

Resurection.

Answer 2

Easter has nothing to do with Christ. There was no little bunny at Golgotha when He was crucified, and when He rose from the dead he did not hide little chocolate eggs to lead his followers to heaven.

The name Easter comes from Estre, who was a Saxon fertility goddess whose festival days were in the springtime.

Around the same time as Easter every year is a holy day which is extremely important to the followers of Christ and also to the Jews. It's called Passover. That's the religious festival which is replaced by the Godless Easter shopping religion holiday.

Passover originally dates back to when Moses was trying to convince pharoah to free the Hebrew slaves in Egypt. God sent plagues to the Egyptians to convince the pharoah to let His people go. When that didn't work God caused all the firstborn in the country to be killed, except for the chosen people. They were instructed to paint their doors with the blood of a lamb and the curse would pass over their house. So all the firstborn of Egypt including animals died except those who followed Gods commandment. This event is still celebrated by Jews today.

Within Christianity, Jesus's last supper with his disciples before his crucifixion was a passover dinner. That's when he told them to eat the bread and drink the wine that was his body and his blood so they could partake of Gods salvation. This is the most imporant festival of Chritaianity. Note that there are no bunnies or chocolates anywhere. Going on an egg hunt Sunday morning does not a Christian make.

Answer 3

Easter is the day that death was overcome, for Christ, and for all believers.

Easter is also the day that all the old and the new testament prophecies about Messiah were completely fulfilled.

Easter proved that Jesus was exactly who he claimed to be, and that his death on the cross was not an empty sacrifice.

The Easter resurrection testifies to the truthfullness of all that came before, and to all that is written about what will occur in the future.

Answer 4

Easter was the day that they rolled back the stone from Jesus' tomb and he wasn't found in it because he had risen from the dead. He shows his wounds and defeats death. It is a very important day to any type of Christian. The rock in front of his tomb was shaped like an egg, which is where the "easter egg" came from. When then celebrate the Resurrection of the Christ. He died for our sins and now he has risen from the dead in fulfillment of the scriptures.

Answer 5

As previously stated, Easter has nothing to do with the alleged Christ aka Jesus.. This was originally the festival of Ostara, the Pagan festival of fertility..Named after Eostra, the Teutonic Goddess of Spring and fertility, Ostara is a time to welcome the return of growing things after a long, harsh winter.. It is a time to welcome the light after darkness and contemplate growth and new beginnings..This takes place at the Vernal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere..The name Easter is derived from the Goddess Oestare, Ostern, Eostra or Eostre, depending on which literature you read.. Even the word "oestrogen" the female hormone, can claim its roots in the name of this fertility Goddess..The fertility aspect of Ostara is symbolised by the egg , which appears a prominent icon of both Christian and Eastern Orthodox Easters.. It is believed that eggs and another symbol of fertility - the rabbit - surrounded the Spring Goddess, Eostra..The rabbit, popularly known as the Easter Bunny, is another ubiquitous sign of modern Easter..The resurrection of the alleged Christ has parallels with the return of light and growth.. Even the tradition of hot cross buns can be traced to pre-Christian origins.. At the feast of Oestre, an ox was sacrificed..The ox horns symbolised the feast and were carved into ritual bread.. The symmetrical cross continued to be used to decorate the buns as we now know them today as hot cross buns..So you see Easter is a Pagan festival assimilated or stolen as I prefer to say by the Christians and intergrated into their fanciful mythology...Once again it's the Christian religion claiming something that is not theirs... Love and Light ..Blessed Be..)O(

Answer 6

Easter has nothing to do with Christ. Its a pagan festival which was shrouded with some Christianity. This information is readily available all over the internet and in the libraries. Do some research you will be shockingly amazed.

Answer 7

Good Friday is the day in which Christ died, three days later, he rose from the dead, which is Easter. When Jesus rose from the dead, he defeated death. Death was brought into the world by Satan. There is death because of the curse received by Adam and Eve for disobeying God in the garden of Eden when Satan tricked them into disobeying. When we ask Jesus into our lives and to forgive us, we become "Saved" or receive salvation, which is that we will live eternally with Christ after we die our earthly death, thus, Jesus makes it possible for all to defeat death if we make the choice to accept his gift of grace and mercy at the cross.

Answer 8

The holiday Easter is when Jesus's resurrection from the dead is celebrated. Simple as that.

Answer 9

It is not. Easter began as a Pagan holiday which was usurped by the Christians to sway Pagans to their religion. Many, perhaps most, Pagan religions in the Mediterranean area had a major seasonal day of religious celebration at or following the Spring Equinox. Cybele, the Phrygian fertility goddess, had a fictional consort who was believed to have been born via a virgin birth. He was Attis, who was believed to have died and been resurrected each year during the period MAR-22 to MAR-25. "About 200 B.C. mystery cults began to appear in Rome just as they had earlier in Greece. Most notable was the Cybele cult centered on Vatican hill ...Associated with the Cybele cult was that of her lover, Attis (the older Tammuz, Osiris, Dionysus, or Orpheus under a new name). He was a god of ever-reviving vegetation. Born of a virgin, he died and was reborn annually. The festival began as a day of blood on Black Friday and culminated after three days in a day of rejoicing over the resurrection." 3

Wherever Christian worship of Jesus and Pagan worship of Attis were active in the same geographical area in ancient times, Christians "used to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus on the same date; and pagans and Christians used to quarrel bitterly about which of their gods was the true prototype and which the imitation."

Many religious historians believe that the death and resurrection legends were first associated with Attis, many centuries before the birth of Jesus. They were simply grafted onto stories of Jesus' life in order to make Christian theology more acceptable to Pagans. Others suggest that many of the events in Jesus' life that were recorded in the gospels were lifted from the life of Krishna, the second person of the Hindu Trinity. Ancient Christians had an alternative explanation; they claimed that Satan had created counterfeit deities in advance of the coming of Christ in order to confuse humanity. Modern-day Christians generally regard the Attis legend as being a Pagan myth of little value. They regard Jesus' death and resurrection account as being true, and unrelated to the earlier tradition.

Even the word Easter itself has Pagan roots. Easter was named after Eostre (a.k.a. Eastre). She was the Great Mother Goddess of the Saxon people in Northern Europe. Similarly, the Teutonic dawn goddess of fertility was known variously as Ostare, Ostara, Ostern, Eostra, Eostre, Eostur, Eastra, Eastur, Austron and Ausos.
