Bible Question: My sincere thanks for your answer. Can you support your answer with either Scriptural or historical references? Generally, I sort of agree with you. Nowhere in the Bible are we commanded to remember the birth of Jesus (Christmas). But we are definitely commanded to remember his death and resurrection (Easter). However, this alone doesn't answer the questions, "Is Easter derived from a Pagan celebration? What is the historical origin of Easter?" Surely the Bible makes no mention of bunny rabbits, Easter eggs, Easter egg baskets and hunts, Ft. Lauderdale, chocolate candy, etc. |
Bible Answer: Easter is of Pagan origin, but Resurrection Day isn't! :-) I never call it Easter. |
