... if he knew his triumphant march into Jerusalem would one day be celebrated with symbols of sex.

 Where are the snake and mushroom smilies?
Thank you confused ape. That was very insightful. I am not familiar at all with Hislop's work.
I will say this though: The tradition of bunnies and eggs does come from somewhere - as all traditions do, and regardless of how many religions are involved in its origins, it's still not Christianity - it's just a silly practice and I thought I'd make light of it. Thus, the smileys. Cheers  RE: Jesus Would Role Over In His Grave

Easter as it is called in the English language is based off Passover. The only other language I have come across to label it anything close to Easter is German with Eoster.
Most languages in the world don't have separate words for Passover and Easter and those that do, have the words similar so as to point to the connection. Most of the pagan traditions that find themselves into "Christian" traditions impact the secular observance rather than the religious observance. The two major holidays of Christmas and Easter, throughout history, each encompassed two separate holidays very much different from each other. For Christmas, the secular version won out.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
The Venerable Bede, an 8th century xtian monk, wrote of the goddess Eostre being celebrated among the Germanic tribes.
Just like every culture had a beginning of winter festival so also did they have a beginning of spring festival. The xtians just tacked (pun intended) their godboy onto one. Where are the snake and mushroom smilies? |
