Were you aware that those who keep accusing you of celebrating our pagan holiday today are actually incorrect?
Our pagan holiday, Ostara, was on the spring equinox, about 3 weeks ago.. so enjoy your resurrection day knowing that we pagans aren't ;)

Sigh.... As a pagan i'm fairly sick of questions like this. each new arising custom adopts some practices, customs, traditions and such from pre-modern cultures. Neo-pagans do the comparable, so what's the super deal? As a pagan, i do no longer have fun the beginning of or resurrection of Jesus (that are the justifications Christmas and Easter have been universal). So what if Jesus replaced into no longer born on Dec twenty 5th and that replaced into merely the day chosen for all to have fun. Sheesh, we had a occasion for my neighbor's baby on Saturday, yet his rather birthday replaced into contained in the direction of the week past - could we no longer have celebrated on Saturday whilst all and sundry replaced into accessible to deliver at the same time because of the fact he replaced into no longer fairly born on 6/25? So what if Christians integrated some previous seasonal customs into their celebrations of Jesus. Decorations and such are greater so secular now besides. The religious meaning of them relies upon on the guy employing them. that's completely comfortable with me if a Christian has a Christmas tree and that i've got a yule tree on the comparable time of year. Pagans do no longer very own unique rights to the month of December for goodness sake. there is room for all individuals here - and no could bicker over such issues that are so petty now pondering they got here approximately so long earlier you or I have been even born. I nevertheless have fun yule and Ostara for what they propose to me - have been doing so my complete grownup existence - so it form of feels Christianity did no longer thieve my holy days in spite of each thing.

We all celebrate in different ways,
for different reasons....
Celebration is joy
Celebration is gratitude
Celebration is Honor
Lets be grateful that we can continue to "see" that we have something to celebrate ... some people don't
Lets not miss the point of the only thing that matters;
LOVE
love to all.
