Easter, is mention in the Bible, not in reference to a pagan holiday. What is wrong, with celebrating a certain day as Christ's birthday. Sure, unbelievers only enjoy it as having a good, with families and friends and show the love once a year, for one another. Should have more Christmas holidays or some other holiday to share and show. love. Easter, is just a name, that we used to remember the wonderful work Christ did, on the Christ. Should we change all the days of the week. Are they pagan? No, they won't be pagan until we make them pagan. Is a Christmas tree pagan. No, we don't pray or bow down to it. How about all the lights. How about the ornaments, h*****g aroutnd cthe house and cities. All of these are just symbols to celebrate, the memory of Christ. Sure, they were once pagan, but not in the Christian's life.
