Hi Diego,
I was reading another thread and someone there said Passover was part of the old covenant and once Jesus was crucified it became the new covenant so easter was for us now. I'm paraphrasing but you get the general idea.
He became the Passover Lamb on Passover (I suppose that was an accidental occurance) so now we can honor the Holiest Day
of Christianity by observing it on Ishtar, complete with her fertility bunnies and colored eggs.
Even when I was a child I wondered what does a rabbit have to do with colored eggs on the day Christ rose.
There is a reason for His feast days and being Jewish or Christian doesn't matter in that regard. He set those times for a reason.
Yes....isn't this amazing....and with no scriptural direction or authority....at all! These folks actually believe this....and that is a tragedy.
The word "Easter" comes from a Germanic goddess of the dawn, Eostre, not from the Babylonian Ishtar. A linguist will tell you that, for one thing.
And Easter is called by that pagan-derived name in English, German, Dutch, and I believe Norwegian.
In languages derived from Greek and Latin, it's called by a name which comes from the Hebrew pesach.
Slavs call it by a name which translates to "bright night".
And no, bunnies don't have anything to do with it.
