Welcome to Gaia! ::

easter, which is a name that stems from a fertility goddess's name, eostara who was celebrated around the first day of spring, is the one of the many pagan celebrations hidden unrealistically beneath the veil of christianity.

a few symboles to consider how christian they may be...

the easter egg: originally used by the druids at the ostara like celebrations of their own times, and painted red to celebrate teh fertility of the goddess, the earth, and of the animals and plants at this time. an egg being an obvious symbol of the womb, the red of the womb AND the god force, also of menstrual blood.

the rabbit:another fertility symbol, maybe having to do with jesus in some way i haven't discovered, but i doubt jesus had anything to do with your mom dressed as a bunny *that's the porn industry,not the church whee *


pastel colours are the colours of spring, the colours of maidenhood, which is celebrated at this time. a women coming into teh ABILITY to bear children and have fertility, and becoming pregnant, but not a mother. still a maiden. i don't see how this relates to the dramatic and violent death of jesus christ.

Most religious holidays were butchered from elsewhere.

Melon's Christian/Catholic, and Melon always knew that we stole and took other religoins holidays and twisted them into our own, but Melon always wondered how the hell eggs went with Jesus.

'What did someone go up to some one else and say "Jesus Christ rose from the dead" and the other person go "*gasp* Hide the Eggs!"'
-Carlous Mencia

you make things seem cuter than neccessary whee

yeah... no.

so like, there were these resurrection eggs, and they had jesus symbol toys int hem... welcome to alabama, home of the hard core ******** off christians confused i'm scared.

...what better way to do the such but with holidays they already knew...but of course, they had to get rid of the Goddess, so they dressed her as Mary instead... ninja

rofl That's very true!
