The Undercover Adventist

If by Easter, one means the death and resurrection of Jesus, most certainly we should observe and celebrate Easter. Celebrations were part of ancient Jewish life, even commanded by God. The celebration of Purim was started in the book of Esther. Of course bunnies, eggs, chicks, and other things are not to be promoted in the church. Easter does not really have pagan beginnings. It is called Pascha in both Greek and Latin. It is named after the month it occurs in. Don't be caught up in the falsehoods that are generated each time during Easter. It is just a name. The name came from a book, and from the name of a month in that book. Nothing more, nothing less. Easter is no more pagan than modern weddings. Yes modern weddings have their origin in pagan beliefs. So you would sound quite foolish by telling people about the paganism they are doing when they celebrate Easter, as you condone wedding cakes, veils, dresses, flowers, rings, rice, and more. They all have pagan origin...
