1 | easter egg hunt in sanctuary | Col 3:1 | windsongchloe | 201503 | ||
Our church allowed our sanctuary to be used for a pre-school easter egg hunt. I believe that easter eggs, rabbits and Easter in general came from pagan practices. I know that over the years many of the pagan rites and rituals have infiltrated the Christian faith. Is it wrong for me to feel that allowing the sanctuary to be used for this purpose is a form of defilement? |

2 | easter egg hunt in sanctuary | Col 3:1 | Hank | 201512 | ||
No, windsongchloe, I do not believe it is wrong for you to be upset by your church's allowing its sanctuary to be turned into a hiding place for Easter eggs! That would upset me too, big time. ...... How does hiding Easter eggs in God's house glorify Him? What does hiding eggs have to do with worshiping the resurrected Christ? When these kids grow up, are they going to remember the sanctuary as the place where people worshipped God -- or where they had fun searching for Easter eggs? Those seem fair enough questions to ask, and they should be asked of your pastor and the church's leadership. ...... Do they not know that the very word "Easter" comes from the name of a pagan goddess of spring, that bunnies and eggs are also associated with pagan rites, and that modern Easter is nothing on earth but a crassly commerical claptrap designed to sell chocolate bunnies, egg-filled baskets and frilly clothing? ...... Many churches, including the church that my wife and I are members of, do not use the word Easter at all, but instead call the day Resurrrection Sunday. And we do not sponsor Easter-egg hunts! --Hank | ||||||
