The pagan festivities were integrated in, to bring in the pagans, to accommodate them.

The connection between the Jewish Passover and the Christian feast of Easter is real and liturgical.

Ishtar Sunday, with rabbits and eggs... I don't think so. Easter has nothing to do with Passover, look at history. I am not intending to offend you, but the truth is easy to find -- if you have the courage to face it.

Easter has nothing to do with Passover, look at history

Of course it does. Look at the history. Christ's crucifixion and resurrection coincided with Passover. How on earth can you say Easter has nothing to do with Passover?

Are you Christian or Jew? Do you celebrate Passover and not Christ's resurrection?
