I just love all those parts of the Bible that explain all about how Bunnies lay eggs in honor of the death of Christ. Don't you?

Bunnies and eggs, I think, are more connected to the Holiday Sales Strategy of Hallmark and Hershey, Inc. than to a hypothetical Anglo-Saxon goddess.

The article wasn't about the bunny and peeps phenomenon. It was about the older question of whether Easter was much earlier (well over than 1000 years ago) conflated with Anglo-Saxon paganism.

The correct answer is: No.

I just love these threads that ignore real history from the holy prophets of the so called ‘old Testament’. Passover ... final perfect sacrifice .. should be the most high Christian holy day, for the remission of sins ... not a spring orgy with rabbits and eggs doing a fertility dance of Ishtar ... watching the sun rise.

Only the ‘flesh’ body, which Mary bore died, the Spirit of the Son of God never died... To say HE is risen, missed the whole point of what happens when the flesh returns to the dust from which it came and the ‘soul/spirit’ returns to the maker that sent it. After all it was Peter that penned that while in the tomb ..... Christ went back to the ‘spirits’ (souls) back to the time of Noah and offered them salvation first.

But hey some people are dunk on their religions.
