Promoted as a celebration of Christ's resurrection, Easter is actually rooted in false religion. The name Easter itself has been linked to Eostre, or Ostara, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of the dawn and of spring.

Eggs "have been prominent as symbols of new life and resurrection," says the Encyclopædia Britannica, while the hare and the rabbit have long served as symbols of fertility.

Easter, therefore, is really a fertility rite thinly disguised as a celebration of Christ's resurrection.

Would God condone the use of a filthy fertility rite to commemorate his Son's resurrection? Never! (2 Corinthians 6:17, 18) In fact, the Scriptures neither command nor authorize the commemorating of Jesus' resurrection in the first place. To do so in the name of Easter, therefore, is to be doubly disloyal.
