Thank you. A post that, just for once, doesn't attack a belief in God.

Are you now a Pagan, Nails?

[AuntPollyGrey]

Well I am , and find it very interesting that Jesus decided to rise from the dead on an important Pagan festival lol!

//Are you now a Pagan, Nails?//
Nah!
Well tbh I do have leanings/sympathy towards traditional, indigenous beliefs that the Abrahamic faiths hijacked for their own.
Same as the Yule Festival (Christmas).

When I left evangelical Christianity, (which was a process, not an event) one of the first things for me was learning that the 'Christian Celebrations' of the church were not Christian at all...they were traditional pagan festivals under a new name.

He is Risen, really should be SHE is Risen!!
Spring ''Eostre'' (overcomes Winter and life starts again).

How about Happy whatever to whoever - will that save us taking the OP apart?

[nailit]

Its almost as though Easter was based on a lunar calendar...

[anneasquith]

Nailit, I think you would get a better audience in religion topic. This thread is just a simple ‘ happy Easter’ to other abers .
