Today's Easter The Meaning

Easter celebrates Jesus Christ’s resurrection, making it the most essential of all Christian holy days. However, in the present day the meaning of the holiday is covered by painted eggs and rabbits. Easter can fall at any time between March 22 and April 25 since is occurs the first Sunday following the full moon. Easter is also connected to the Jewish Passover in symbolism and it’s location in the calendar. What’s with Rabbits and eggs and The Easter holiday? Well the rabbit is a well know sexual icon of fertility. Religions affiliated with Babel relate the rabbit with periodicity, both human and lunar. The Mother Goddess Semiramis (Easter) is related with the moon. Therefore, the Easter rabbit symbolizes the Mother Goddess and is associated with once a year Spring time fertility rituals worshiping the Mother Goddess. Dyed Easter eggs are a part of the celebrations too that came from the egg which was a sanctified symbol among the Babylonians. They assumed that a fantastic size egg fell from heaven into the Euphrates River from which the Goddess Semiramis was born. It is something to think about how many of us genuinely think about the correct meaning of this holiday apart from the resurrection of Jesus Christ. survival gift basketIt has developed to be another retail holiday and over commercialized.
