Our Pagan World: The Easter Myth Exposed

Our Pagan World: The Easter Myth Exposed

----------------------------------------



Description:



Each year, throughout the Westernized world, many Christians

observe a celebration which has become popularly known as

"Holy Week". This much-anticipated occasion begins with Palm

Sunday, which commemorates Jesus Christ's entry into

Jerusalem, and culminates seven days later with the joyous

Easter Sunday mass, which celebrates our Lord's glorious

Resurrection from the dead. In many households, Christian

and non-Christian alike, this final day of celebration often

includes the presentation of woven Easter baskets filled

with chocolate rabbits, small toys and other assorted sweet

goodies, to eager young children. The day's events may also

include the traditional Easter egg hunt, during which time

these same children scurry about looking for an assortment

of colorfully-painted chicken eggs, which have been hidden

by their well-meaning parents, or by others.



Year after year, parents and children perform these same

rituals on "Easter Sunday", without giving the matter very

much thought. Some Christian parents may even assume that

these practices are based upon ancient Christian traditions;

but I must ask you: Have you personally ever taken the time

to investigate the actual origin of the Easter celebration,

and some of the activities which have become associated with

it? If you did, and if you are a Christian, you would be

very surprised, if not shocked, by what you would discover.



This five-part series, "Our Pagan World: The Easter Myth

Exposed", will take you on an amazing, informative journey

through history, and reveal the shocking truth behind one of

the holiest days on the Christian calendar. After having

read it, you may never view Easter the same again.
