Well, since “Eostre” (Easter) is the ancient sun goddess of spring and eggs & bunnies are her symbols of fertility and since the Roman Catholics under Constantine (around 325 AD) were the ones to take this sun goddesses name & use it for their religious celebration, I think it is the Roman Catholic church who needs to explain why they started the tradition of using a false god to celebrate Passover & Pentecost.

Yes, please do explain why you are using a pagan god's name to represent a Christian historical event? Why does the Church continue to break the 1st 2 commandments, not only during this celebration, but also during Advent & Epiphany? Why did you establish a world filled with pagan christians? Why did the Roman Catholic church break commandments 6,8,9 & 10 to gain rule over God's free people? I know the answer, do the readers here?

This statue of Cybele/Artemis an Anatolian fertility goddess was probably up and adorning a temple at Ephesus when Apostle Paul Journeyed by and his Epistles were written.

Shouldn't we rename Easter Eggs as “Spring Spheres” to be PC? ;)
