Subject: Easter questions |
Bible Note: Greetings Cyclist! Thanks for the welcome! :-) Don't get me wrong! I wasn't trying to say that there is anything wrong with Easter. I was just saying that the translation of the word 'pascha' as 'Easter' is not a good translation. In all honesty, I haven't even read all of the posts on this thread, so I don't know what everyone else has said. My position is that all holiday's have a mixed background of pagan, secular, and holy. The important thing is what does it mean to you. To me, Easter is the day I celebrate the resurrection of Christ. So, I don't have any problem with Easter, I just would not translate 'pascha' as 'Easter'. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
