Question by Rev. wwww – Daughter of Satan: has the real meaning of easter been lost?
Easter celebrations were held hundreds of years before Christ was born as festivals of spring honoring Eostre, the great mother goddess of the Saxons. This name was fashioned after the ancient word for spring, Eastre. The goddess Ostara was the Norse equivalent whose symbols were the hare and the egg. From this comes our modern tradition of celebrating Easter with eggs and bunnies.
In the Mediterranean region, there was a pre-Christian spring celebration centered around the vernal equinox (March 20 or 21) that honored Cybele, the Phrygian goddess of fertility. Cybele’s consort, Attis, was considered born of a virgin and was believed to have died and been resurrected three days later. Attis derived his mythology from even earlier gods, Osiris, Dionysus, and Orpheus, who also were supposed to have been born of a virgin and suffered death and resurrection as long as 500 years before Christ was born. The death of Attis was commemorated on a Friday and the resurrection was celebrated three days later on Sunday.
There are other Easter traditions that are pagan in origin. The Easter sunrise service is derived from the ancient pagan practice of welcoming the sun on the morning of the spring equinox, marking the beginning of spring. What we now call Easter lilies were revered by the ancients as symbols of fertility and representative of the male genitalia. The ancient Babylonian religions had rituals involving dyed eggs as did the ancient Egyptians.
The Christian version of Easter is celebrated after the first full moon after the vernal equinox. Modern day neo-pagans usually have their spring celebrations on the day of the equinox. Either way, these celebrations have gone on every year continuously for over 2500 years. So, next Sunday, if you go to an Easter sunrise service, hunt for colored eggs or eat marshmallow bunnies, remember you are indulging in pagan rituals that celebrate fertility and the advent of springtime!

Easter hasn’t lost its real meaning at all. It still bears its pagan origins quite well, which was what Paul intended when he stole all the pagan rites and substituted Jesus for the pagan entities. The Satanic Paul created his own religion through deception and dishonor (so-called ‘Christianity’) and are leading billions of people to their destruction. May they be guided to the true worship, submission (al-Islam) of the One God with no partners.
Sadly yes , Christians seem to love to be deceived. The word easter is in the Bible only one time and was a mistranslation. In the original text , the word should have been Passover. The true Passover is 15 days after the Spring equinox. We are to remember the Passover and the fact that Jesus became that sacrifice for once and for all.
Well I dont no to much around big fancy word papers or what ever and my dads always trying to get me to look at this Bible shit but I don’t know. To me easter is first of about my daughter secondly cooking dinner for Lucy and Trin and then fourth or fith or what ever number were on going and hangin out with the boys gettin drunk and high. I don’t know what teh fuck is up with Petter Clotter Trail the last like 20 yeasr though. That bunny used to alwyas bring me chocolate and stuff for free and now he doesn’t show up, I have to buy Trin choclate with money out of my own pockit. Its bull shit.
Easter supposed to be a passover / the celebration of resurrection of Jesus Christ. There shouldn’t be any easter eggs and bunnies involvement in this, again this has become a permanent tradition until now. Not much we can do about it.
” oestrus. the period of heat or rut; the period of maximum sexual receptivity of the female.”
is from the same root. Betcha knew that, though.

EASTER—FERTILITY WORSHIP IN DISGUISE
13 Promoted as a celebration of Christ’s resurrection, Easter is actually rooted in false religion. The name Easter itself has been linked to Eostre, or Ostara, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of the dawn and of spring. And how did eggs and rabbits come to be associated with Easter? Eggs “have been prominent as symbols of new life and resurrection,” says the Encyclopædia Britannica, while the hare and the rabbit have long served as symbols of fertility. Easter, therefore, is really a fertility rite thinly disguised as a celebration of Christ’s resurrection.
14 Would Jehovah condone the use of a filthy fertility rite to commemorate his Son’s resurrection? Never! (2 Corinthians 6:17, 18) In fact, the Scriptures neither command nor authorize the commemorating of Jesus’ resurrection in the first place. To do so in the name of Easter, therefore, is to be doubly disloyal.
