Happy Easter!
I can't understand why this thread hasn't been started until now. Today's Easter Sunday.

Happy Easter!
 Hope Christian members are having a nice day; hope my fellow secular-observing nons are as well, even if it just means an excuse for candy. Here, have a PD Leo in bunny ears...

I don't think I've celebrated Easter since I was like 12 years old, only because I used to paint those eggs in school or whatever. What is Easter even supposed to be celebrating? I don't even know besides hunting eggs.

Early Christians had chosen to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus in conjunction with Passover. Which, as we know, always ends up in late March/early Spring. So they merged together, just like Christmas and Yule. |

You are correct, mon ami! It is indeed a pagan celebration of birth and renewal as this is the time when flowers bloom, many animals are born or hatched, and crops begin to grow. We Wiccans call it Ostara or Alban Eiler. Quote:
Yes and no. Easter is based around the pagan celebration, but Eostre/Ostara actually comes during the Spring Exquinox. They only coincide if the Equinox happens to coincide with Passover. Otherwise, Easter is a bit later. Also, the Celts and Norse had traditions of their own regarding the Equinox as well.

Thanks for the info on Easter lore; I knew about the 'merging' of both Christmas and old Yule traditions, but knew absolutely nothing about Ēostre. Pretty cool info sharing guys - thanks.
