“Lent” originally just meant “spring” and “lente” is still the Dutch word for “spring.” (Next to Frisian, Dutch is the Germanic language most closely related to English.) “Lent” is related to “lengthen”—it is the time of year when the days are lengthening.

Ok, that’s a long article of nonsense.

Christians observe Pasqua, the Pascal sacrifice, Passover.

The English speaking world calls it Easter, but formally it is passover.

Christianity since Apostolic times celebrates Passover/ Pasqua

You are correct that Easter is pagan. No doubt about it. And, I appreciated reading the article you posted (Should Christians Observe Easter or the Passover?).

Some in the old testament worshiped the queen of heaven. And, many do to this day. Call it what they will. It doesn’t matter to God. Easter is pagan. Sola Scriptura is something Cronos knows nothing about and never will. Cronos will say “Nah, Bub, you’re wrong.” Pay no attention. You are correct.
