I was confused as a child too, I had been told and raised to follow a tradition going way back, one based in unfounded tradtition! A pegan tradition. As I grew older and wanted to know the answers, I did research and ask a lot of ?'s. I have never found any "real" connection to a "bunny"a Easter bunny and spring or Easter. I understand about the eggs, I did that research and found plenty. Even "Christians" use resurrection eggs. We should inform Crissy, not jump all over her, because of one remark. Even non believers know something happened that changed the course of man and history, when the Son of man died and rose again. By the way, Good Friday, is called that because it is a refence to "God's Friday". I encourage any of you, do the research, like C.S. Lewis did, see what you find!

Werewold is also correct,we now use, gregorian calendars and have in the past used Myan time tables, so the date is not accurate. It is an observance of that event. Spring time was chosen because of the renewing of life, ie, the risen Christ!

maybe im misunderstanding your message. sounds like you're assuming I don,t think today is a holy day and all about bunnies and eggs. It so happens I am a Christin and celebrate the reserection of Christ today. I merely said "Happy Easter everyone" "Hope you all have a beautiful day".

Its all about a one on one if you want God he wants you. invite him in to your life or get splinters from sitting on the fence,After all it is a three in one deal you get the Father,Son and the Holy Spirit pretty good if you ask me

...this was what I was kinda advising against with my secondt post. The right person is gonna wander in soon and it is gonna be ugly. A lot of other religions would qualify for that definition of "splinters from sitting on the fence", can we please not get this started?

good grief!! all I wanted to do was wish everyone a happy Easter, and it looks like this has turned into a religous debate.

Hey, jews also celebrate Easter. As a matter of fact, Jesus celebrated Easter himself. My question: did he actually happen to resurect on the extact day the jews celebrate Easter or is the Chistian Easter different than the Jewish Easter?
Anyway, the Chistian religion has a history of "recycling" pagan holidays and pagan gods. That's part of the marketing strategies to get the different people of the World to convert.

Paxx, Jews celebrate Passover which is a whole different thing than Easter. It is not on the same day as Easter. See here for info: http://www.holidays.net/passover/
The Christian church holiday Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, which Jews do not celebrate.

That looks odd. I meant Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus. It's a church holiday which Jews do not observe since they are are not Christians.
