History of Easter

Some will dispute this and 
think that I am putting down the church.
I am not putting down the church. 
I am just stating historical facts.  

Easter like all so-called Holidays are seeped in Pagan roots.
It is based on the Pagan Goddess Eastre (Oestre); 
the goddess of fertility and harvest. 
The Catholic church made the holiday a Christian holiday, 
just like they did with Christmas (the festival of Saturnalia), 
to get the Pagans to join the Catholic church.

Ostara was, of course, a fertility goddess. 
Bringing the end of winter, 
with the brighter and longer days after the vernal equinox, Ostara had a passion for new life. 
The Pagans believed that her presence was felt 
in the flowering of plants and the birth of babies, 
both animal and human. 
The rabbit was her sacred animal.
This is what makes the Easter Bunny the symbol of Easter. 

The history of the decorating of eggs is, also, based on 
a Pagan tradition. 
The egg is the symbol of fertility and birth. 
A symbol of a new life. 
The Modern (the Christians since the formation of 
the Catholic church) Christians believe that the egg symbolizes the resurrection of Jesus; the new life he gave to them. 

How can one call a tradition truly Christian 
when it is rooted in Pagan tradition?

The Christian churches today all teach 
that Easter is the day that Christ arose from the tomb. 

Many know the story from John 20:

"The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, 

unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, 

whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, 

They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, 

and we know not where they have laid him.

But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, 

she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, 

and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? 

She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, 

and I know not where they have laid him.

And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, 

and knew not that it was Jesus.

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? 

She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, 

Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: 

but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; 

and to my God, and your God whom is Jehovah.

Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, 

and that he had spoken these things unto her."

John 20:1-2;11-18 KJV (1611) 

The first Christians did not celebrate Easter;

the true and only holiday they practiced was passover.

Passover is the true Easter. 

The word which we translate as Easter in the 

Jewish (Hebrew) Bible (the Torah)

is actually the word Pascha which means Passover.

   

They did not celebrate Jesus birthday, 

because they did not celebrate birthdays. 

They did not celebrate the feast day of Easter, 

because it was and still is pagan.

It is actually the pagan day Easter, 

because the word Easter itself is not in the bible.

Thank you for reading my blog. 
And, not to sound ironic, 
Happy Easter. 

Thank you for listening to the truth
and facts about the true Easter.
