Exploring the origins of Easter-

Is  Easter Christian or Pagan ?

Many people believe Easter is a Christian holiday

-based on the Crucifixion & Resurrection of Jesus Christ?

however the religious festival  called Easter long pre-dates the Christian

 Era and is found in cultures world wide both Christian and Non-

In reality then Easter does not represent the "historical crucifixion

 and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

In Fact the Gospel tale reflects the annual"Crossification"

of the Sun through the vernal equinox ( SPRING)

 at which time the sun is 'resurrected'

as the day begins to become longer than the night.

Rather than being a "Christian" holiday, Easter celebrations date back into remotest

antiquity are found around the world...As the blossoming of spring did not escape

 the notice of the ancients . Who  revered this life renewing time of the year.When winter

 had passed and the Sun was "born again"

The "pagan" Easter is also the Passover and Jesus Christ represents not only the Sun but also the Passover Lamb...

Easter is "PESSACH" in Hebrew "PASCHA"  in Greek "PACHONS"  in Latin  and "PA-KHONSU"  in Egyptian"Khonsu"

Being and epithet for the Sun God Horus....

In Anglo - Saxon , Easter or Eostre is Goddess  of  the Dawn Corresponding to  Ishtar Astarte Astoreth and

Isis..... the  Word Easter shares  the same root with EAST and EASTERN....

the direction of the Rising Sun.. The Principle Mexican Solar Festival was held at the Vernal equinox i. e.

Easter , when sacrifices were made to sustain the Sun... In India the Vernal Equinox Festival is called 

"HOLI"  and is especially  sacred to the  God Krishna.

The Syrian sun and Fertility God Attis  was annually hung on a tree dying and rising on March 24 thand 25 th

 and Easter celebration that occurred at Rome as well.. The March dates were later applied to

the Passion and Resurrection of Christ...

"Thus says Sir James George Frazer, "The Tradition which placed the death of Christ

 on  the Twenty  fifth of March was ancient and  deeply Rooted..It is all the more remarkable

 because astronomical considerations prove that it can have  had  no historical foundation"...

This "coincidence" between the death and the resurrection of Christ and  the older Attis was not lost

.. Christians, Whom it distressed mightily. In their attempt at  explaining the existence of these pre- Christian

motifs, early Christian apologists claimed the devil had gotten there first !!

The rites of the "Crucified Adonis" another dying and rising Savior God....

were also celebrated in Syria at Easter Time.. As Frazer States..When we reflect how often the Church

has skillfully contrived to plant the seeds of the new faith on the old stock of paganism. we may surmise

 that  the Easter Celebration  of the dead  and Christ was grafted upon a  similar celebration of the dead and risen Adonis...

Which as we have reason to believe,was celebrated in Syria at  the same season"...

The Salvific death and resurrection at Easter of the God, the initiation as remover of  sin, and

the notion of becoming"born again.. Are  all ages- old pagan motifs  or mysteries rehashed in later

Christianity ..The All- important death - and resurrection motifs is exemplified in the "Pansian"

magical papyrus  A pagan text  ostensibly unaffected by Christianity..

Lord being born again...

I perish in that  I am being exalted and having been exalted i die.. From a life giving birth being born into death  I was thus Freed.. In the Gospel tale, there are  two dates for the Crucifixion The 14 th  and the 15 th  of the month  of Nison...

and within Christianity the dates of Easter was debated for centuries..

There continued to be two dates  for Easter the Western Catholic and Eastern Orthodox...

Thus demonstrating that this holiday is not the historical date of the actual crucifixion of a

particular man ... the dates are in fact,  astronomical, astrological and astrotheological..

In explaining this roving date, one  "Distinguished" churchman as Catholic Church Historian Eusebius

 called  him  Anatolius revealed the meaning  of Easter and of Christ as well as the fact that astrology was  a known and respected science used in Christianity Said Anatolius...On this day [March 22] The Sun is  found not only to have reached the first Sign of the Zodiac but to be already passing  through the fourth day within it.....

This sign is generally known as the first of the twelve The Equinoctial sign, the beginning of  months,  Head of the Cycle and Start of the Planetary Course... Church Father Anatolius thus based his Calculations on the positions of the Sun and Moon during the Vernal Equinox..... demonstrates that "Christ" is not an Historical personage but the Sun... this fact of Easter being  the resurrection of the  Sun  has been  well known for centuries.. Just  as  the "Saviors"  birth at  the winter solstice has been recognized as another  solar motif..

Another Obvious clue as to Christ's nature  is the fact that the "Lords Day is  Sun-Day"

 Concerning Easter,In his letter  I.for 329" Bishop of Alexandra Athanasium ( C. 293 - 373  )  remarks

Quote "again the sun of  Righteousness " causing his Divine beams to rest upon us. proclaims beforehand

the time of the feast in which, obeying him, we ought

to celebrate it."Christ is thus the sun of Righteousness" with Divine Beams....

The  Easter calculations were recomputed in the seventh century by  the Christian

  Authors of  the Paschal Chronicles determines the proper date  for Easter as March 21 th.. and the date of Christ's  resurrection as March 25 th  or   (   midnight March 24 th - three days after the beginning of the equinox..)  These Dates are precisely those of the Sun at the vernal equinox when day and night  are  the same length and the sun  was said to be hung on a cross .. Thus the Sun is resurrected 3 days after it is

crossified or crucified...  In   his various calculations the Chronicle Author discusses solar and lunar cycles. Including the 19 - year lunar cycle by which he reckons   the crucifixion and resurrection concluding.....

Quote "This  is consistent with the prior determinations of Reputable men in  the calculation of the heavenly bodies. based on  all that  we know. it is evident that the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ are founded  upon astrotheology and that Easter  is of pagan origin...   !!!
