EASTER or TEASER?

It’s the marzipan that matters, isn’t it?
Just kidding
So what’s Easter anyway?
Easter is actually the day Jesus resurrected from the dead, after 3 days. So, going back, ‘good Friday’ is the day he was crucified. But if you study the calculation of time in those days, 1 day was considered more than 24 hours, thus concluding that Jesus died on a Wednesday. But we interpret the Bible with our idea of a ‘day’ and celebrate the death of Jesus on Fridays. Now the term ‘good Friday’ is not biblical. All Friday’s are good! Like most other festivals and holidays, these have been highly commercialized. There are a few spirituals who stand up and preach about the ‘true meaning of Christmas’ and all that jazz, but we’ve heard so much of it that it’s ‘just a part of the jargon’ that comes from the ‘good guys’.
Easter is a pagan festival. (google Paganism. idiots) ‘Easter’ evolved from ‘Eostre’, the Goddess of fertility (who is known as Kali in India, btw). At around the same time that Christians used to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus, Pagans celebrated the ‘annual’ death and resurrection of ‘Attis’, the partner of Cybele, the Phrygian fertility goddess. They believed he was born of a virgin, annually. (Which means he was reborn every year.. wth?). The festival began as a day of blood on ‘Black Friday’ and culminated after three days in a day of rejoicing over the resurrection. In order to convert the pagans to Christianity, missionaries fused their customs in celebrations.(not good).
I know you love the marzipan, but why are you eating an egg on the day Jesus rose from the dead? No, omelette's weren’t the 1st thing he ate. It’s a pagan custom to celebrate ‘fertility’ with eggs. They didn’t exchange sugary pastel eggs in pretty baskets; they gifted each other real eggs. And what about the famous Easter Bunny? Eostre’s earthly symbol that was worshipped was none other than a rabbit! Have you ever wondered why Playboy (not they have anything to do with fertility whatsoever) is symbolized by a bunny? (No joke..!)
All these traditions and customs seem like harmless celebration (except the calories from the chocolate bunny’s you were hogging). But the deeper you dive into the traditions of religion, the farther you get from the true relationship that God wants to have with you. It’s not about how often you go to church or how many times you repeat the ‘Our father’, it’s a simple one on one relationship with God. You don’t need to go through a ceremony or a priest, He’s always waiting for you to love him like he has always loved you.
