- Have you ever wondered where Easter came from? In this video, we’ll cover everything you need to know about the holiday.
The origins of Easter can be traced back to ancient pagan rituals that celebrated the arrival of spring. The spring equinox marks the beginning of the season of fertility and growth, which was celebrated by many cultures. The ancient Egyptians, for example, celebrated the return of their sun god Ra from the dead, while the Persians celebrated their New Year, known as Nowruz. The word "Easter" itself may have come from the Old English word "Eostre", the name of a pagan goddess associated with spring and fertility.
It was in the early Christian church that the Easter holiday took on its current form. Easter is a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which occurred after his crucifixion on Good Friday. According to the Bible, Jesus rose from the dead on the third day after his death, which is now celebrated as Easter Sunday.
Today, Easter is celebrated around the world with many traditions. One of the most popular traditions is the Easter egg. The egg has long been a symbol of fertility and new life, and in many cultures, it is believed to represent the resurrection of Jesus. The practice of decorating eggs dates back to ancient times, but it is the Christians who first used eggs to symbolize the resurrection.
Another popular Easter symbol is the Easter Bunny. The Easter Bunny is believed to have originated in Germany, where it was known as the Osterhase. According to German folklore, the Easter Bunny would lay brightly colored eggs in nests made by children thus leading to the tradition of Easter egg hunts. This tradition has since spread to many other parts of the world.

In Venezuela we celebrate "Semana Santa" (Holy Week). However, the more secular tradition is more like a week of drinking and partying including processions.
Loving that the word Easter possibly came from a Goddess! 🌺
In England we like to eat lamb on Easter Sunday.

Could you make a video about British political parties?

I've been hunting the eggs of a Germany Bunny
The resurrection of Jesus is rarely if ever taught in schools on Easter.
When people see these Easter eggs, the resurrection, or “fertility” as it is described in the video, is ever mentioned in conversations.
The only thing that does come into people’s minds is the Easter bunny, and those search egg hunts, which bears no symbolic reason for it. Some people might enjoy those games, and eating the chocolate eggs, but it removes Jesus from the entire picture
Because the only connection is Spring and Fertility. Christians stole it
Glad you know the true meaning of Easter. The most important day of the year. We would all be going to h!!! if Jesus wouldn't of shed his blood on the cross on Good Friday. Him resurrecting on Easter Sunday is your proof that Jesus is the son of God. (The messiah) I'm not perfect, but I do my best to follow and obey God, and Jesus. 👍
