EASTER

This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad!



Why Easter eggs and bunny rabbits? Christ's apostles and disciples decided to celebrate new feasts on the days that the pagans already used as feast days. Their followers, then, could not be picked out and persecuted. Jesus' resurrection occurred closely to the day pagans paid homage to their fertility goddess. Yes, eggs and rabbits are closely associated with fertility.
