This is why Christ came at Christmas, to suffer, die, and rise, to make Easter POSSIBLE.

Actually, EASTER, as I am sure some people said already, is a PAGAN name for ASTARTE, the greek version or the English version of the pagan goddess astarte

Easter as a name or holiday was never ‘Christian’.

Jesus was crucified as the PASSOVER LAMB to take away the sin of the world, Easter is a spring festival to celebrate all things coming to life at spring

we should never celebrate Christs death, burial and resurrection at a pagan date, it should be based on the Jewish events that is centered around.
