Easter (Ressurection Day) is the observed day of this factual happening of Jesus rising from the dead to redeem us. Anti-Easter Proponents claim that Easter is a syncretic blending of Christianity with non-Christian religions. It is true that other pagan cultures use a similar day for their worship. So what? The fact is that all religions have common elements: holy books, buildings or other places set aside for worship, liturgy, music, vocal prayers, meditation, art of some sort, preachers, and many many others. To label Easter "pagan" because someone else uses that name or day, is logically equivalent to saying that a preacher Jimmy Swaggart and Anton LeVay (Satanic priest) both us electronic amplification in their Church services, then Swaggart must be a Satanist. Let us keep our eyes on Christ and not allow Satan to distract us from His most important triumph for the faithful, the ressurection. Call it Ressurection Day, or with Grace allow others to call it Easter, as it is HIS ressurection that true Christians celebrate on that day*** if you would like a several page reply to some details, send me a personal email at gregory@asleepknowmore.com God Bless you***Gregory The fact is that Jesus died for our sins on the Cross and resurrected from the dead three days later.

I have never read in scripture and cannot find in scripture that easter has anything to do with Christ's resurrection. What I find is that on the pagan holiday of easter that the Apostle Peter escaped from prison and certain death because of the king's observance of the pagan holiday, easter. It absolutely had nothing to do with Jesus and was a at least a year or more after Jesus had been resurrected. Prove easter is resurrection Day.
