As a witch, I celebrate Easter, too, because Christianity is a pagan religion. Why do you celebrate Easter?

Answer 1

Yes you are right. The word Easter comes from the Goddess worship of Ishtar. She was a Babylonian Goddess of fertility that use to engage in orgies and male and female prostitution and infant sacrifices for a good harvest. And most of Christianity thinks it has something to do with Christ rising from the dead. The things we don't want to tell our children about, just keeps getting repreated over and over by paganism in the church.

Answer 2

I think most Christians know that many festivals were originally pagan. More and more Christians are getting away from easter egg hunting and the easter bunny.

Christians didn't "steal" the holiday though. As it was, when Pagans converted they didn't want to give up their holidays. So they changed the Holidays to Christian holidays. When they did that they also changed the "Meanings" behind the holidays. In America, these have always been celebrated as Christian holidays, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Acts 10:15
15And the voice came to him again a second time, What God has cleansed and pronounced clean, do not you defile and profane by regarding and calling common and unhallowed or unclean.

Answer 3

As an Asatruar, I do not celebrate Easter. However, the very next day is the Day of Remembrance for Jarl Hakon of Norway. I'll celebrate that in a way. It's more 'personal reflection' than 'celebration', however.

Answer 4

I am a Witch and I have already celebrated the festival of Ostara... As I am in the Southern Hemisphere, it was really Mabon down here, the Wheel of the Year is opposite to that of the North.. The Christians stole our festival in the 4th century AD and called it the Resurrection.. We Pagans know that it was life, Death, Rebirth.. Eostra the fertility Goddess was honoured, notice the spelling Christians.. I had to add that... Blessed Be..)O(

Answer 5

well..Christianity isn't a pagan religion...but the easter bunny and easter eggs ARE pagan fertility symbols used to celebrate spring. The whole "easter bunny in relation to Christianity" thing is totally commercial. In the actual church the season has nothing at all to do with the bunny :)

I don't celebrate easter. I celebrate the Resurrection :)

I celebrate Easter by going to a CHRISTIAN CHURCH and then spending time with my family. I also celebrate Easter because Jesus rose again, because on Good Friday, he was crucified for our sins.
