Is Easter A Pagan Holiday?

Easter, like Christmas is not based on the Bible. 

It started as a pagan holiday.  Easter is not about The Easter Bunny, dying eggs and hunting Easter Eggs.

The Bunny and eggs have to do about fertility. 

Easter was dismissed as a Pagan Holiday, by the nations founding Puritans  and was not widely observed until after the civil war.

Americans once again comprised American's Biblical Foundation.

That being said:

Easter Weekend for Christians is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. 

This is when Christians remember what Jesus did for them at the Cross.  We should never forget, but

1st Corinthians 11: 25 says:

This cup is the new testament in my blood;  this do ye as oft as drink it , in remembrance of me.  Jesus tell us here how to remember Him.

1st Corinthians 11:26 says:

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

This is referring the the Lord's Supper .

So according to the Scriptures.  Easter is not in the Bible.

Bunny Rabbits and egg hunts are not in the Bible. 

So America, If you call yourself a Christian, and are having egg hunts, dying eggs and handing out baskets, this is a pagan act. 

I realize that a lot of churches do this over Easter Weekend, and they say it is to bring non-believers to the church.  Of course they will come, it is a pagan act.

So as Easter Weekend approaches, think what you are going to do this weekend.  What are you telling your children?  That is okay to do a pagan act, it is not harming anyone to have some fun.  What is Jesus thinking as he watches His children act as pagans, as they say they are remembering Him.

When was the last time you took part in the last supper???  Jesus said.  "Do this in remembrance of me?

Something to think about this week, as Jesus could come at any time. 

How do you remember Jesus?
