For many people Easter is a reason to celebrate {the bunny} lol but oh no not the bunny. For many years I said hey the bunny is Easter lol. But no no Easter is not the bunny, Easter is celebration the resurrection of Christ, Helijuah {Amen} I learned that for sure in 2004 after I started going to Church. March 17t, 2004 when I went to my Church for a overnighter and then we went to another Church and Rachel from the colabine highschool shooting, brother and dad was at the Church speaking about her great Faith. What a inspiration to the World that was. {Amen} Then came back to the Church. Had fun with the overnighter, had a choice to come back the next Sundat and I did. And went to the alter. Then as the time went on I learned lots. My friend's Christ Chtist said He did not come in the World to condemn condemn it, but to save it through His father. Trust in Him!

I TOTALLY agree with you! I celebrate Easter b/c of the wonderful thing Jesus did on the cross for mankind. He could have just sent us all down to Hell and let us burn for an eternaty b/c we sure do deserve it. Yet, he decided to give us a chance. He loved us so much that He died a trecherous death on the cross so that we might live. Such wonderful and perfect love Jesus showed you and me, and so I want to celebrate that amazing day when he died for me and then rose again in victory over all my sins. He is AMAZING!!!!

No, I celebrate it the way it was originally done...Heathen style. ;-)
Didn't it ever dawn on you that that the Easter Bunny and the Eggs have nothing to do with your Christ? Did you wonder why they are there? Because, suprise suprise, Easter is an old European fertility holiday named after the Goddess of spring, Eostre. Hares and rabbits have long been symbols of fertility. The inclusion of the hare into Easter customs appears to have originated in Germany, where tales were told of an "Easter hare" who laid eggs for children to find. German immigrants to America -- particularly Pennsylvania -- brought the tradition with them and spread it to a wider public. They also baked cakes for Easter in the shape of hares, and may have pioneered the practice of making chocolate bunnies and eggs.

You did notice that the date of Easter is different every year ?
It's the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox. Sounds pretty pagan to me.
Oh and by the way, perhaps you should talk to a psychiatrist when you have a minute, he can probably treat your delusional mental disorder.

I celebrate Easter because I'm Asatru.
Hail Ostara! Hail the Spring Hare!
We'll be decorating eggs, eating chocolate bunnies (to symbolically partake of the Spring Hare) and if I can find a couple of rabbits around here... Probably cooking some rabbit for the Feast of Ostara.

I celebrate Easter for 2 reasons:
1) It's another reason to practice fertility rituals with my wife
2) chocolate bunnies and chocolate eggs

I celebrate Easter just for fun. I do not need a holiday to celebrate Jesus' resurrection. I celebrate all year long!

i comprehend that it really is a seven 12 months previous remark above from "Alan", yet for simplicity's sake why faith and politics ought to in no way be suggested merely using it really is a own perception, as a effect there is not any sure answer. In protection of the Watchtower Society (Jehovah's Witnesses), they have their beliefs and faith as so does the Catholics, the Protestants, Mormons (which i'm a Mormon) and Jews alike. as a effect, as suggested above being there is not any sure answer, why then is "Alan" attempting to make it her company and attempting to educate some thing? Granted, she is sweet on the Pagan Roots difficulty on the grounds that in the course of the time of Christ, the section became lower than the rule of thumb of Caesar and Rome. by technique of using pagan beginnings by technique of the Christians, it turned right into a effective tradeoff to 'keep' the pagan follower to come back unto Christ in the waters of baptism in using and adopting their symbols and practices. as a effect, who wins in this ... all of us on the grounds that there extremely is not any adjustments.

I wonder this too now? Christian claim to go to church every Sunday b/c of jesus resurraction (not according to the 4th commandment) What makes the week above all the other Sunday Christian go to church? I think its a pagen holiday.
They might as well keep Friday in honor of the crucifixion. Christ gave the ordinance of baptism in honor of His death, burial, and resurrection. The Bible never suggests Sunday in honor of the resurrection (or for any other reason, for that matter). We honor Christ by obeying Him (John 14:15)--not by substituting man-made requirements in place of His.

Jesus "Christ" is known as the founder of "Christianity". Christmas is a Christian holiday that commemorates the birth of Jesus. At Easter, Christians celebrate their belief that Jesus came back to life after his death (called "resurrection").
