What’s so wrong with the pagan Easter celebration? Seems like a beautiful thing to me!?

Don’t worry about the deluded – they don’t seem to understand that the earth’s season’s don’t actually revolve around their mythical religions….sad really.
and one last thing…………… we (pagans) were here first & no amount of pious "it’s the devil’s work" or other grossly ignorant (and incorrect) comments, will change that despite the fact they hijacked our festivals for their own ends…
I’m still waiting for them to make something out of Beltane!!

symbolism of the easter little sheep?
Posted by: | Commentsi can’t express myself well in english, but i’d like to share with you this tought
the little sheep, eaten traditionally in the easter days, is not the symbol of the sacrifice jesus did for humanity?
So why you eat this little creature? Didn’t you get enough blood from him for your salvation?
PLEASE DON’T! HAVE MERCY, BE GRACEFULL!
this is new for me, where are you from dazzy?
thanks tony, you are really kindness and your sentence is really deep!

tonks, cut out every ear from that chocolat rabbit, i agree (only if it’s bitter chocolate however) but be ware, the revenge of chocolate rabbits are coming!
(and of the lambs too, i suppose)
ya tatt man, i think your interpretation and mine are both valid, however i think todays christians are more conscious about the symboism of the lamb jesus than the spring rebirth (but they still ate lambs)
really??
this sound very strange to me!
ahahah i made a mistake posting here the question lol!
in italy lamb is the only traditional dish, also accompained with eggs and in some spare cases rabbit
here vegans use to post question like this in many forum or with poster in the street to avoid the lamb massacre
however (with a smile) DON’T EAT THE PIGS!!! HAVE MERCY!!! BE GRATEFULL!!!
*GRACEFULL
John 1:29 The next day he beheld Jesus coming toward him and he said, "see the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world."
Jesus was liken to a lamb. Because they are peaceful meek little creatures. Also this is celebrated at the time of the traditional passover. At the passover they ate roasted lamb and unleaven bread.
today we are not under that law,. You are right because of Jesus sacrifice we no longer sacrifice a lamb and eat it at passover.
We do however celebrate the fact that Jesus died for us and we are no longer under law but under undeserved kindness.

09 September 2009 — The name “Easter” originated with the names of an ancient Goddess and God. The Venerable Bede, (672-735 CE.) a Christian scholar, first asserted in his book De Ratione Temporum that Easter was named after Eostre (a.k.a. Eastre). She was the Great Mother Goddess of the Saxon people in Northern Europe. Similarly, the “Teutonic dawn goddess of fertility [was] known variously as Ostare, Ostara, Ostern, Eostra, Eostre, Eostur, Eastra, Eastur, Austron and Ausos.” Her name was derived from the ancient word for spring: “eastre.” Similar Goddesses were known by other names in ancient cultures around the Mediterranean, and were celebrated in the springtime. Some were:
-Aphrodite from ancient Cyprus
-Ashtoreth from ancient Israel
-Astarté from ancient Greece
-Demeter from Mycenae
-Hathor from ancient Egypt
-Ishtar from Assyria
-Kali, from India
-Ostara a Norse Goddess of fertility.
An alternative explanation has been suggested. The name given by the Frankish church to Jesus’ resurrection festival included the Latin word “alba” which means “white.” (This was a reference to the white robes that were worn during the festival.) “Alba” also has a second meaning: “sunrise.” When the name of the festival was translated into German, the “sunrise” meaning was selected in error. This became “ostern” in German. Ostern has been proposed as the origin of the word “Easter”.
