Easter today Compared to 100 years ago

The resurrection of Christ is what Easter is all about also making it the ultimate essential of all Christian holy days. However, at this time the meaning of the holiday is covered by decorated eggs and bunnies. Easter can fall at any time between March 22 and April 25 since is occurs the first Sunday following the full moon. Easter is also connected to the Jewish Passover in symbolism and it’s location in the calendar. What’s with Bunnies and eggs and Easter? Well the bunny is a well know sexual image of fertility. Religions associated with Babel relate the rabbit with periodicity, both human and lunar. The Mother Goddess Semiramis (Easter) is related with the moon. Therefore, the Easter rabbit symbolizes the Mother Goddess and is related with once a year Spring time fertility rituals worshiping the Mother Goddess. Colored Easter eggs are a part of the festivities too that came from the egg which was a sanctified symbol among the Babylonians. They assumed that a amazing size egg plummeted from heaven into the Euphrates River from which the Goddess Semiramis was born. It makes you wonder how many of us actually think about the true meaning of this holiday apart from the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It has developed to be another retail holiday and over commercialized. However, it is a time for families to come together and observe the day. Kids love Easter for the presents, candy and most of all the egg hunting which could be enjoyed by the adults as well.
