Happy Easter. But did you know:
The use of eggs was forbidden during Lent, they were brought to the table on Easter Day, coloured red to symbolize the Easter joy. Easter Eggs may have its origin in paganism, for a great many pagan customs, celebrating the return of spring, gravitated to Easter.
The rabbit is a pagan symbol and has always been an emblem of fertility.
The Easter Fire is lit on the top of mountains (not here in the U.S.) and must be kindled from new fire, drawn from wood by friction; this is a custom of pagan origin in vogue all over Europe, signifying the victory of spring over winter.
When Christian worship of Jesus and Pagan worship of Attis were active in the same region in ancient times, Christians “used to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus on the same date as the pagans and Christians used to quarrel bitterly about which of their gods was the real God and which was the fake God.
Well, whatever we celebrate and why, just remember: Easter Island was founded and named on Easter Sunday.
Happy Easter Bunny Island! WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

No it is not CRAP…Almost all of the Christian holidays are perversions of ancient Pagan rites. Eostara=Easter, Yule was celebrated (thousands of years before Jesus was born) as the son/sun of the Goddess being born into the world……Come on Jeannie……You are the believer of crap….
