The Venerable Bede, Church chronicler in the 8th century wrote that this was a festival of the old Goddess Eostre. Obviously Ishtar, but I am intrigued at how the worship of Ishtar came to England.I am curious as to why it is ritually important to eat the ears off a chocolate bunny first?
Can’t offer an opinion on Jesus’ rising, however my Groundhog has returned. We met in the yard yesterday. We were each, surprised by the others presence. He’s the reason I get my vegetables at a nearby farm and not my ‘’garden of no hope’’.
Yes it’s that time of year again for the Christians to get up early and watch the sun rise, and pretend it’s a ceremony for Jesus, when in reality it’s not. They are using the playbook of the Roman Catholic church. And the Jews who plagerized other religions to write what eventually became the Bible.
For….. what? Trump gone.. okay, but he’s still influencing common sense.. vaccinations.. sure but the pandemic still rages on. Peace in the Middle East.. just because the media is not covering it does not mean it’s peaceful. Harmony among Americans.. not. Hallelujah indeed.
Trump smacked down for Easter morning statement showing ‘resentment and rage’ at losing election
The one-term president wrote, “Happy Easter to ALL, including the Radical Left CRAZIES who rigged our Presidential Election, and want to destroy our Country!”
Critics of the president were quick to point out that it is time to let go of the “resentment and rage” and get on with his life at Mar-a-Lago.
exclamationGod be praised (uttered in worship or as an expression of rejoicing).“He is risen! Alleluia!”nounan utterance of the word “hallelujah” as an expression of worship or rejoicing.
When that famous chorus arrives, the juxtaposition sends a triumphal message. “The Hallelujah chorus in and of itself need not, of course, be taken to project Christian rejoicing, even in part, against Judaism,” Marissen writes. But when concertgoers heard the entire sequence – the agitated aria about warring nations followed by a triumphal chorus with trumpets and drums – it was understood “to predict, in part, God’s destruction of Jerusalem and its temple because of Jewish failure to accept Jesus as God’s messiah.”

Odd, but it’s the NEXT Easter, and Covid-19 STILL hasn’t “Disappeared like Magic…”

It’s a bit depressing to see that commenters who want equal treatment for everyone are calling out Breen for an Easter comic.
He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!
I am not ashamed and I am not going to try to convince anyone else how or what they should believe in.

Is Handel’s Messiah Anti-Semitic?
