History of Easter Holiday

-- Goddess Ostara (Ishtar, also spelled, "Eostre"), for whom "Easter" is named -- March 21 is one of the Pagan’s Human Sacrifice Nights

Easter is a shifting date using the common practice of Astrology; it is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first new moon after Ostara.

This date also has nothing to do with the resurrection of Jesus Christ! Rather, this day in the pagan tradition celebrates the return of Semiramis into her reincarnated form of the Spring Goddess. The pagans even have an equivalent to our Good Friday! It is "Easter Friday", and has historically been timed to be the third full moon from the start of the year. Since the marrying of pagan Easter to Jesus' resurrection, Good Friday is permanently fixed on the Friday prior to Easter.

Easter is steeped in the Babylonian Mysteries, the single most evil idolatrous system ever invented by Satan! All throughout the prophetic Scriptures, we see God declaring His final judgment upon wicked Babylon! Yet, every year, Christian pastors intone "Easter" as though it were Christian. Many Independent Baptist preachers have begun referring to this day celebrating Jesus' resurrection as "Resurrection Sunday", in order to separate the day from the pagan celebration.

The Babylonian goddess, Ishtar, is the one for whom Easter is named; in reality, she was Semiramis, wife of Nimrod, and the real founder of the Pegan Babylonian Mysteries. After Nimrod died, Semiramis created the legend that he was really her Divine Son born to her in a Virgin Birth. She is considered to be the co-founder of all occult religions, along with Nimrod.

Easter -- the day of Ishtar -- is celebrated widely among various cultures and religions on earth.

1. Babylon - Ishtar (Easter) also called the Moon Goddess
2. Catholics -- Virgin Mary (Queen of Heaven)
3. Chinese -- Shingmoo
4. Druids -- Virgo Paritura
5. Egypt -- Isis
6. The Pagan Ephesians -- Dianna
7. Etruscans -- Nutria
8. Germans (Ancient) -- Hertha
9. Greeks -- Aphrodite/Ceres
10. India -- Isi/Indrani
11. Ancient Jews -- Ashtaroth (Queen of Heaven) 12. Krishna -- Devaki 13. Rome -- Venus/Fortuna 14. Scandinavians -- Disa 15. Sumerians -- Nana

The Babylonians celebrated the day as the return of Ishtar (Easter), the goddess of Spring. This day celebrated the rebirth, or reincarnation, of Nature and the goddess of Nature. According to Babylonian legend, a huge egg fell from heaven, landing in the Euphrates River. The goddess, Ishtar (Easter) broke out of this egg. Later, the feature of an egg nesting was introduced, a nest where the egg could incubate until hatched. A "wicker" or reed basket was conceived in which to place the Ishtar egg.

The Easter Egg Hunt was conceived because, if anyone found her egg while she was being "reborn", she would bestow a blessing upon that lucky person! Because this was a joyous Spring festival, eggs were colored with bright Spring colors.

The Easter Bunny

"The Goddess' totem, the Moon-hare, would lay eggs for good children to eat ... Eostre's hare was the shape that Celts imagined on the surface of the full moon ..."

Do not bother to tell me that bunnies do not lay eggs, for I know that; we are dealing with a legend here, and an occult legend at that. These types of legends traditionally play loose and fast with facts.

Thus, "Easter" -- Eostre, or Ishtar -- was a goddess of fertility. Since the bunny is a creature that procreates quickly, it symbolized the sexual act; the egg symbolized "birth" and "renewal". Together, the Easter Bunny and Easter Egg symbolizes the sex act and its offspring, Semiramis and Tammuz.

Thus, it is a very serious spiritual matter, indeed, when christian churches incorporate "Resurrection Eggs" as part of their Easter celebration. At the very least, these churches are confusing the minds of their precious young children, by blurring the dividing line between pagan symbols and their meanings and Christian meanings of Resurrection Day. Young children who participated in "Resurrection Eggs" in church will be conditioned later in their life to accept the fullness of the pagan tradition revolving around the same symbols.

At worst, a church participating in the pagan Easter tradition by promoting "Resurrection Eggs" and perhaps an Easter Egg Hunt, is guilty of combining Christianity with paganism,

Other Pagan Ingredients

Easter Offerings are derived from the tradition where the priests and priestesses would bring offerings to the pagan temples for Easter. They brought freshly-cut Spring flowers and candies to place on the altar of the idol they worshipped. They would also bake Hot Cross Buns, decorating them with crosses symbolizing the cross of Wotan, or some other pagan god; these crosses were not originally the cross of Jesus Christ. This is another instance where we counterfeited a pagan tradition that could later be passed off as "Christian"

In fact, the first instance of Hot Cross Buns can be traced back to about 1,500 BC, to Cecrops, the Founder of Athens Later pagans used not just the shape of a Pentalpha star, but also the Hot Cross Bun.

Another popular Easter offering were freshly made or purchased clothes! The priests would wear their best clothes, while the Vestal Virgins would wear newly-made white dresses. They would also wear headgear, like bonnets, while many would adorn themselves in garlands of Spring flowers. They would carry wicker baskets filled with foods and candies to offer to the pagan gods and goddesses.

Easter Sunrise Services were originated by the priest serving the Babylonian Ishtar to symbolically hasten the reincarnation of Ishtar/Easter. Once again, we see how Satan knew that Jesus' rising from the grave would be discovered in the early sunrise hours, and that the Christian Church would want to hold Sunrise Services to celebrate. Society knows and believe God's Word and its prophecies literally, and they are allowed a certain amount of foreknowledge. Just as modern religion counterfeited the Divine birth of a male child to a Virgin Mother fully 1,000 years before Jesus was actually born, so we counterfeited this Sunrise Service.

Lent is purely pagan, and yet has been accepted by the Roman Catholic Church and apostate christian churches as "christian".

Lent is a commemoration of Tammuz' death; the legend of his death says that he was killed by a wild boar when he was 40 years old. Therefore, Lent celebrates 1 day for each year of Tammuz' life. Participants are to express their sorrow over Tammuz' untimely death by weeping, fasting, and self-chastisement.

Lent was commemorated for exactly 40 days prior to the celebration of Ishtar/Esotre and other goddesses by the following cultures: Babylonians, Roman Catholics, Koordistan, Mexicans, Ancient Israel, and today, Liberal, apostate Protestant churches.

Your maguage and the fact that you care about this would seem to indicate that you imagine there is some sort of "right," i.e. non-apostate, method of worshipping.

"A very serious spiritual matter?"

I don't care if your Catholic or Wiccan, that's crazy talk.

Relax. All educated people know the origins of religious holidays. Fear not.

Someone has been reading new world order prophesies.

You ought to look at the symbolizm of the chrismas tree for a real shocker. It replaced infant/orphan sacrifice to molech by pagans. Fatten em up all year long and torch em on the winter solstice.

Still i like easter eggs, Christmas presents and Jesus for giving me a life that enjoys them. Grace is a wonderfull thing, theres no need to feel condemed for enjoying either easter or Christmas under the new testement.

If you read the OP and feel you've learned something, don't. Most of that stuff is gibberish, made solid by repitition.

Easter is a simple solstice ritual, practiced the world over, and appropriated by the Catholics. It's no more "evil" than that.

Looking for all the ways that Lucifer, The Dark One, conspires to hide evil in the world, is, well..... a waste of time. There is no Lucifer. There is no evil hidden in the world... all the evil one would ever need is right in front of your eyes, "sufficient unto itself."

easter talk makes me hungry , frittata an omlette made with italian sausage tuma cheese asparagus and eggs is better than it sounds and i love the sweet bread with the whole eggs baked in , can't wait until sunday .

All religions steal celebrations from earlier ones. After all how do you convert people if you take away their parties?

1) Easter is the day that is recognized by nearly all Christian denominations as a celebration of Jesus Christ's resurrection. Period.
2) The rest (the Easter rabbit, eggs, ducklings, whaterver...) is all window dressing. And where all this "window dressing" stemmed from is irrelevent. See #1.
