Why do we call it Easter? That is a pagan fertility festival, It should be changed to Resurrection Day. If you want to tie it to Christ.

Don't start Larry. You are not a liberal are you?

I don't h**e anything except lies and misinformation. I may not like some things a lot, but I don't h**e them. But EASTER, is a fertility and pagan concept, I don't like calling the day of resurrection by a pagan name.

The celebration of Christ's birth, even though it is not at the right time, is OK as long as you leave Santa Clause out of it.

I am definitely not a Liberal.

Armageddun Loc: The show me state

Why did
Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His
resurrection? I never noticed
this....
>
>The Gospel of John (20:7) tells
us that the napkin, which was placed over the
face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like
the grave clothes.
>
>The Bible takes an
entire verse to tell us that the napkin was
neatly folded, and was placed at the head of
that stony coffin.
>
>Early Sunday morning,
while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to
the tomb and found that the stone had been
rolled away from the entrance.
>
>She ran
and found Simon Peter and the other disciple,
the one whom Jesus loved. She said, 'They have
taken the Lord's body out of the tomb, and I
don't know where they have put
him!'
>
>Peter and the other disciple ran to
the tomb to see. The other disciple out ran
Peter and got there first. He stopped and looked
in and saw the linen cloth lying there, but he
didn't go in.
>
>Then Simon Peter arrived
and went inside. He also noticed the linen
wrappings lying there, while the cloth that had
covered Jesus' head was folded up and lying to
the side.
>
>Was that important? Absolutely!
>Is it really
significant? Yes!
>
>In order to understand the significance of the folded napkin, you have to understand a little bit about Hebrew tradition of that day.
>The folded napkin had to do with the Master and Servant, and every
>Jewish boy knew this tradition.
>
>When the servant
set the dinner table for the master, he made
sure that it was exactly the way the master
wanted it.
>
>The table was furnished
perfectly, and then the servant would wait, just
out of sight, until the master had finished
eating, and the servant would not dare touch
that table, until the master was
finished..
>
>Now if the master were done
eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his
fingers, his mouth, and clean his beard, and
would wad up that napkin and toss it onto the
table.
>
>The servant would then know to
clear the table. For in those days, the wadded
napkin meant, "I'm finished.."
>
>But if the
master got up from the table, and folded his
napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the
servant would not dare touch the table,
because..... ....
>
>The folded napkin
meant,
>"I'm coming back!"
>AND SO HE SHALL ><> ><> ><>
