Do you celebrate Easter, April 20th?

Question

Lliam · Accepted Answer

I was raised Catholic and was even an altar boy, so my family definitely celebrated Easter.
Of course, as kids, we also got Easter baskets full of treats from the Easter Bunny on Easter morning. We would have an Easter feast, too, with the entire family - grandparents and relatives.

During high school, I began drifting away from religion. And after I moved out on my own, I didn't go to church or celebrate any religious holidays except for secular Christmas.

But I did take my family - mom, dad, sister and niece - to Easter brunch every year. I did those brunches for my mom in particular. Everyone would get dressed in their finest and go someplace really nice.
That ended in 1994 when I was 40 and she was battling cancer.

I got married in 1996 and my mom died later that year.

My wife and I moved out of the area in 2000 and we had fun going to Easter brunches for several years. But those got more and more popular, you had to make reservations far in advance, and they were a zoo. Not worth the money, either.
We eventually stopped dealing with it.

Well, I will certainly annihilate a chocolate bunny or two, if that counts. :-D

Eastern belongs to Ēostre Spring goddess. Even if my real name is a derivative from goddess of winter, death and nightmares that will be expelled by Eostre every year, I enjoy scrambled eggs with fresh green onions and Chocolate bunnies. On the other hand I don't think Germanic tribes who lived after Gottones left region where I'm living now had chicken eggs, nor chocolate 2000 years ago, but they burnt straw effigy of winter goddess we do until today.

A story, when i first started going to church i felt they skipd* Easter. So i asked someone "a year ago how did you celebrate Easter" she blinked and said "i don't celebrate Easter because i am not catholic" a shocker for me the newbee... but yeh jesus never said "i have risen celebrate this day" at all in any way! "Simon did not say so you are out."

nawtee_me · Answer

I do not celebrate Easter… Passover yes and the resurrection of Jesus which has nothing to do with bunnies and eggs. Those were offerings to the goddess of fertility.
