EXACTLY...THANK the LORD, at LAST yes EASTER IS A PAGAN FESTIVAL.. it is the feast in honour of the goddess ESTARTI ...and as a seeker after TRUTH (who knows that JESUS is the WAY,the TRUTH and the LIFE) I also query why so many Christian Institutions participate in the whole.. Happy Easter thing, cards,greetings eggs ..(Estarti-was the goddess of fertility, hence the egg symbolism) but when you enlighten them they seem not to care,the WORD OF GOD does say "the TRADITIONS of men make the Word of God to NO effect".. This would then go for CHRISTMAS, (which besides not even being CHRIST´s real birthday, the research from many sources over the years put it around mid -to late October, one date was 27 October, but a true definite was not pinpointed.) JESUS let us know that His ressurection was THE SPECIAL Time.Christmas reduces our focus on a weak, vulnerable, ineffectual baby.When in fact we have a Real, Alive and Victorious,Lord of Lords, King of Kings who is the Head Commander of all the Heavenly Celestial Army,and the MESSIAH ,SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD....JESUS.. (Y E S H U A- His real Hebrew name)

Because the only way the christians could convert the pagan populations was to allow them to carry on celebrating their festivals.
It is well known that Jesus the man, was not born on 25th December however Christians celebrate his birth then. Why? Because this was the same time of year as Yule, the mid-winter pagan festival.

Easter and Passover are different festivals that happen at the same time. If you don't want to celebrate them don't, now take deep breaths and calm down.

Not all Christians celebrate Passover, Easter or even Christmas. There are quite a few reformation Protestant sects who decry all such things as blasphemy.

the classic holiday of Ostara celebrated the goddess of the comparable call. It replace right into a holiday of fertility. Rabbits reproduce, properly, like rabbits, so they are an emblem of fertility. Eggs represent rebirth and new existence. infant animals represent the comparable ingredient, as does the certainty that the holiday happens during the mating season for many animals. the classic pagans might desire to no longer so truly enable pass of their holiday journeys, so whilst the Christians got here to tension everybody into their very own faith, they stole and switched over the holiday to declare, "hello, seem! we've a holiday on the comparable time as you! have fun our holiday particularly as a results of fact that's cooler and could save you because you would be worshiping the the perfect option god." They switched over the assumption of fertility and new beginning into resurrection as a distinctive approach of springing up new existence. They saved the call to help the pagans have faith that the holiday journeys have been one interior the comparable. Why do they proceed to have fun Easter? i assume as a results of fact that's replace into custom. maximum human beings have given thank you to commercialism and have fun the holiday as no longer something better than an afternoon of relaxing. those that commemorate it as a non secular holiday do no longer probable think of concerning to the pagan element of the holiday. They pass to church and purely participate interior the pagan areas as a source of relaxing for their teenagers. some Christians attempt to eliminate the pagan factors of the holiday. Others have given up the holiday thoroughly as a results of fact they understand that the classic paganism can't be bumped off. As a Pagan, i think of that they are in a position to have fun or no longer as they decide on. enable them to have their relaxing, or scorn it, as they deem in wonderful condition. Venus Bless

Cos when you translate "Pasqua" from Italian, you get Easter in English. Who cares? Have a Coke and a smile and shut the F up.
