Christianity has repackaged Passover using pagan spring traditions that have nothing to do with Jesus or his resurrection. He also was not crucified on a Friday, but on Wednesday as the sun went down. He was in the ground three days and nights, 72 hours as he himself said he would.
I just referred you to a source, explore the original documents for yourself, which you won't do naturally. LOL Thanks for providing evidence of being a overeducated moron, ignoring the reality of how syncretism has contaminated the church, distracting from the truth of the incarnation and resurrection with pagan fertility symbols and druidic evergreens.
The Biblical calendar is totally different than the Roman calendar. Passover is always on the 14th of Nissan in conjunction with the full moon. Jesus said the only sign would be that he’d be in the ground for three days and nights like Jonah…that’s 72 hour or three days and nights. Biblical days begin at sunset and end at sunset
He was crucified on Wednesday, buried before sunset and arose on Sunday just as Saturday ended at sunset…72 hours later.
You see, Jesus was crucified on the Passover the high Sabbath of unleavened bread beginning at sunset. John 19.31 tips us off…that’s why they had to bury him before sunset as no work on high Sabbath (Thursday). Then Friday the women were preparing for the Saturday Sabbath and the day after that was Sunday. So when reading the account those who have no understanding of the Biblical calendar think those passages are only speaking of the Saturday Sabbath.
This video examines the historical origins of Easter, tracing its development from the Jewish Passover to its current form. Easter began over 2,000 years ago in Judea, rooted in the Jewish festival of Pesach, which commemorates the Israelites’ liberation from Egypt. Around 30–33 AD, Jesus of Nazareth’s crucifixion and resurrection during Passover became the foundation for the Christian celebration, initially called Pascha, meaning Passover in Greek. Early Christians, many of whom were Jews, linked Jesus’ death to the Passover lamb, shifting the focus from physical liberation to spiritual salvation.
I have always been uncomfortable with the celebration of the "Easter Season" and just as much with the celebration of the "Christmas Season." Not because they are based on pagan holidays, but rather that the words "Easter" and "Christmas" do not appear in the Bible.
I much prefer calling Sunday coming in two days "Resurrection Day," and celebrating Jesus's resurrection Every Sunday in the year because the resurrection of Jesus is central to our faith. By raising Jesus from the dead, God certified that everything Jesus did and said while on this earth was true, and that He did take on our sins and endured God's wrath in our place.
As for the time of Jesus' birth, there are a number of theories. We do know from scripture that He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, in Bethlehem. In this way He was fully God and fully human, which allowed Him to live a sinless life and thus be eligible to take on man's sin, which he did in the midst of one particular Passover week by being crucified on a cross. He died and was buried, and was raised from the dead on the third day. We know these things happened from eyewitness accounts.
So let's celebrate Jesus' resurrection this Sunday, and every Sunday following. He is risen!
Well, it should be still called Pasach, and not inculcated pagan fertility symbols like easter bunnies and eggs, both are pagan in origin. The concept is called Syncretism, and the early church often did it to make more Christianity more attractive to pagan converts even grabbing their festivals, idols and images attaching Christian names to them. AS if the Christian name changed the origins, which in reality is still applying lipstick to a pig, it is still a pig.
This article lays it all out. It is also indictated in Christmas celebrations, with Santa (supposedly for St Nicholas, but an anagram of Satan), pagan fertility symbols of deist evergreenery based on tree worship and animism in Germanic regions. Christmas should be about the Incarnation and God's gift to us, His son coming as a baby in the flesh to dwell among us, and tradition teaches us that the season around when Jesus was born was around the passover as well, in Springtime, not the Bethlehem winters.
Very nice: I really like the explanation of Easter as it is something I deal with a lot, as being Orthodox, we use Pascha. I do disagree with one point on Isthar. I don't think anyone knows how it was pronounced, as the language is dead?
As to the absorption of pagan things into Christianity, well, yeah. To paraphase Chesterton "So what?" (See his Queen of Seven Swords, if you can find it. The poem is in there)
And in closing: Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! Happy Easter.

Yep do some research and you will learn that the Bible confirms what I’ve said. Even Pope Benedict did not understand as confirmed in a 2011 article.

This is why Pope Benedict could not understand how Jesus could be in the grave for three whole days and nights… https://www.thetrumpet.com/8198-was-jesus-in-the-grave-for-less-than-40-hours
We’ve been taught many falsehoods even in church!
The article was in USA Today

Me too....... Enough pagan changing of the subject to add nauseating fluff to distract from God's gift to us.
