It represents Birth - Spring - Life - That is where the Egg comes in - for Birth - and the Bunny because they have a lot of sex - Fertility - It let the ancients know it was time to start planting the crops. In Greece - the woman used to paint their bodies and go and hide - and when the men found them - they would have orgies - - We go on easter egg hunts - they went on easter leg hunts.


My kids and I celebrate it by planting our Garden. I let them boil eggs and hunt for them as well. Since it is pretty chilly today - I guess we will just make sure the soil is loose and all the weeds are out - I will need to check the PH balance as well!What is the true meaning of Easter?

To me, Easter is a time to think about Jesus and everything that his life and death means to me.





I celebrate it by sleeping, praying, reading my bible and going to church. Simple
feels like any sunday except more religious tv shows on more channels. it means i need to go out and get a pie and eat it.





i like pie
chocolate, a good breakfast and a couple of days off.
Jesus was tried for doing nothing more then the Will of His Father, he was beaten, he was scuffed, he was pierced, his hands and feet were nailed to a wooden cross, a crown of thorns was placed upon his head and he was crucified for the sins of the world but on the Third Day the tomb was empty. Jesus arose from the grave defeating death, hell and the grave and now sits at the right hand of God the Father. That's it in a nutshell.
It's true meaning is in the pagan rites of Spring. The Goddess Eostre is honored. Her totem is a hare (bunny) and her symbol is an egg, which is the symbol of new life and abundance.


I most definitely celebrate it. I am a pagan.
The egg of Winter joined with the Spermatozoon of Spring.
It represents the rebirth of the Christ consciousness in us all.


When this Consciousness is in control , we can live a more Christ-like life with confidence , strength, faith ,discernment, and all of the other attributes of the 12 Apostles . Jesus was here to show that even when the physical body is sacrificed on the cross of physicality, the soul continues to exist.

I get a day off work but other than that it isn't of any importance to me.
It highlights the forgiveness of my sin through The Christ Jesus. The forgivness of sin by Jesus is an awesome gift of God.





We are are wonderfully happy on this day for what Jesus has done for all of us.
I observed the Memorial of Jesus Christ last Monday 2nd April which coincided with the Jewish Passover which was the appropriate time when Jesus asked to keep doing these things in rememberance of him.


Easter is not a day I observe because of it pagan influences and a shares the time when pagan cults will also celebrate their worship of the fertility goddess.
The true meaning of Easter is to celebrate Christ's resurrection. To me it means we have been blessed beyond believe to be here on earth. My family most definitely celebrates it.
