Easter

For Christians, the origin of Easter is simply the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ about 2,000 years ago. According to the Gospel accounts, Jesus Christ, the true Messiah promised in the Old Testament, was crucified and resurrected at the time of the Jewish Passover. Since that awesome event took place, those who believe Christ is their Messiah have honored that day and often celebrated it with the traditional Passover.

Most Easter egg dyes are water based, and so will re-dissolve in water if given the chance. If the egg becomes moist (even if held in a damp hand), the dye will come off.

In the case of eggs meant to be eaten, this is not a very big deal. In the case of eggs made to be saved, like pysanky, this can be a problem. That is why most pysanka artists coat their finished eggs with a protective varnish.

I think it is some where on Bunny trail?

It would be difficult to translate, as Easter wasn't an indigenous holiday to the Iroquois. It would be like asking for a Hebrew word for a rain dance.

In the UK its generally 60m but 30m within 3miles of an airport. You can ask for special dispensation by contacting the Civil aviation authority.

No. At least, not in Western Christianity since the introduction of the Gregorian calendar.

The First Council of Nicaea (325) established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the northern hemisphere's vernal equinox.

This means that nowadays, April 25th is the latest date on which Easter can fall.

Yes, but I am not sure if it is healthy for them, or if they would really want to eat them...

Easter is the name of the English Goddess of Light. Her annual Spring-time festival was ancient before the Christians appeared and caused the people, in the words of the Venerable Bede, to "celebrate the old feast in the spirit of a new solemnity." The Easter eggs, magical ones, in a grass-lined basket, symbolize new life in the coming of Spring. Like the swag and the rest of the trappings of Christmas, Easter eggs have no connection to Christianity beyond the silly little fictions the Church officials have made up to account for them.

An "Easter" egg is a symbol for the goddess Easter which is a variant of Astarte, the goddess of the Sidonians representing sex, reproduction and new life beginning in Spring. Also noted variants are Ishtar and April. Note the connection of all these names. Also is the rabbit/bunny which are prolific reproducers and are viviparous (offspring born live) not oviparous (hatching eggs). The eggs which are symbolic are fertilized eggs, when hatched produce the offspring (such as chicks).

Since the celebration would occur at about the same time as the discovery of the empty tomb where the body of Ἰησοῦς Xριστος was purportedly laid, for some odd reason it is still named for the pagan goddess.

Steal some wine from the church. You know they're open that day.

Technically, there is no discussion of Easter found in the Bible. It is a man-made holiday that is supposed to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Typically, Easter celebrations are about the earthly resurrection of Jesus Christ after his execution. Other celebrations leading up to this may include references to the last days of Jesus Christ.

The last days of Jesus are recorded in the gospel accounts Matthew 26-28, Mark 14-16, Luke 22-24 & John 18-21.

Eggs should be chilled before dying. Ideally you would hard boil the eggs before dying them or empty the raw egg to remove the yolk.
