Easter is actually from Eoster, the Godess of Spring and fertility… Her symbol was a rabbit…She brought the dawn and renewal.

Spring is when the ‘Dead of Winter’ ends and signs of life start to show. Pagans celebrated this ‘rebirth’ with eggs and bunnies. The Swiss, Germans, or Belgians must’ve thrown in the chocolate part – My favorite!

[quote]joe schmoe said: “While it may not be a biblical fact that Christ was BORN on December 25th he was conceived on that date. The evidence for this fact is found in Luke 1:5 – 1:26. Zacharias was performing the “course of Abia” and was told he would conceive a son (John the Baptist). Elisabeth, Zacharias’ wife became pregnant and hid herself for 5 months. In the sixth month the Lord appeared to Mary and she conceived. The course of Abia is performed from June 13-19, the 5th month for Elisabeth’s pregnancy would have been around November 24 and the 6th month would have been December 25 when Mary conceived. “[/quote]

What, no mention of Mythras? It was he who revealed himself to shepherds, under the light of a bright star, on the 25th of December (on a huge rock and in the form of a white bull) about 250 years before the birth of Christ. Then Emperor Constantine, who was a Mythratic, was the one who accepted Christianity into the Roman Empire as its official religion and simply changed many of the Mythratic holidays and symbols into Christian dogma, making Christmas the 25th of December in spite of all of the evidence that Christ was born in the spring.
