This Sunday....Resurrection Day or Easter?

Resurrection sunday for sure my friend. He is the reason that we have life!

Christ rose on the Sabbath which is Saturday, and the word Easter has nothing to do with Christ rising. It came from the word Estar, which is the name of a Pagan goddess of fertility. That's why on Easter Sunday, which is the day that the Pagans worship Estar, you see bunnies, which reproduce a lot, and eggs, basically another sign of babies to come. None of these have anything to do with Christ rising. We have been taught a doctrine of men. It is a deception that has been put in the church to keep people worshiping their gods.

Matthew 28:1-8

[1] In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

[2] And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

[3] His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

[4] And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

[5] And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

[6] He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

[7] And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

[8] And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

Yes. It was called Pascha (POSS-kuh) before it was called Easter. Pascha (Greek: Πάσχα), also called Easter, is the feast of the Resurrection of the Lord. Pascha is a transliteration of the Greek word, which is itself a transliteration of the Hebrew pesach, both words meaning Passover. (A minority of English-speaking Orthodox prefer the English word 'Pasch.')

Pascha normally falls either one or five weeks later than the feast as observed by Christians who follow the Gregorian calendar. However, occasionally the two observances coincide, and on occasion they can be four weeks apart. The reason for the difference is that, though the two calendars use the same underlying formula to determine the festival, they compute from different starting points. The older Julian calendar's solar calendar is 13 days behind the Gregorian's and its lunar calendar is four to five days behind the Gregorian's.

We have celebrated Easter for 1700 years with the wrong symbols due to one leader of man !!!

His name Constantine !!! He combined pagan practices with Christian beliefs and destroyed Jews in the process !!! That was a political move not a religious one !!!

"Constantine's Creed: As a preliminary to his acceptance as a catechumen, a Jew (Must confess and denounce verbally, the whole of Hebrew people, forthwith declare that with a whole heart and sincere faith he desires to be received among the Christians. Then he must renounce openly in the church all Jewish superstition, the priest saying, and he, or his sponsor if he is a child, replying in these words:

I renounce all customs, rites, legalisms, unleavened breads and

sacrifices of the lambs of the Hebrews, all of the other feasts of the Hebrews, sacrifices, prayers, aspersions, purifications, sanctifications, propitiations, and fasts and new moons, and Sabbaths, and superstitions, and hymns and chants, and observances of the synagogues, and the

food and drink of the Hebrews; in one word, I now renounce absolutely everything Jewish, every law-abiding custom and if afterwards I should wish to deny and return to Jewish superstition, or shall be found eating with the Jews or feasting with them or secretly conversing with them and condemning the Christian religion instead of openly confuting them and condemning their vain faith, then let the trembling of Cain, and the leprosy of Gehazi cleave to me, as well as the legal punishments to

which I acknowledge myself liable, and may my soul be set down with Satan and the devils. Furthermore, I accept all customs, rites, legalisms and feasts of the Romans, sacrifices, prayers, purifications with water, santifications by Pontius Maximus, propitiations and feasts, the New Sabbath - the Sol Dei (Sun Day) - all new chants and observances, all

foods and drinks of the Romans in the New Roman Religion." (Stefano Assemani, Acta Sanctorium Martyrum Orientalium at Occidentalium, Vol. 1, Rome 1748, page 105)

Origins, dates and days of Easter

The date on which Easter falls varies from year to year. Easter falls on the Sunday after the ecclesiastical Full Moon that falls on or after March 21. Easter is therefore observed between late March and late April and can extend to early May in the Eastern Christian churches.

A system for calculating the dates for Easter was begun around 532 AD when a Scythian monk named Dionysius Exiguus reconciled the Eastern and Western church calendars with the Julian calendar, established by Julius Caesar. Dionysius Exiguus established the date of Christ's circumcision at 1 January, 1 AD, or Anno Domini, translated as 'the year of our Lord'. While this calendar was adopted by the Church, the old Julian calendar remained in civil use for another thousand years. Eventually, these were reconciled with the current Gregorian calendar, adopted in 1582.

We know that Easter was being observed as early as 180 years AD. The first black African Pope, Pope Victor (189-199 AD) decreed that Easter should be celebrated on a Sunday. However, churches in different regions, such as those represented by a synod of Asiatic bishops, celebrated Easter on different dates, not always on Sundays. The Council of Nicea (AD 325) finally clarified this by stating that Easter would be celebrated on Sundays.

A Christian scholar, the Venerable Bede (672-735 AD), first asserted that Easter was named after Eostre, the Great Mother Goddess of the Saxon people in Northern Europe. Her name was derived from the ancient word for spring, eastre. Pagan festivals associated with birth, the renewal of life, fertility and sunrise date back long before Christianity. Pagan religions in the Mediterranean area are recorded as having a major seasonal day of religious celebration at or following the Spring Equinox. Many of the present-day customs of Easter have their origins in these festivals.

Deuteronomy 12

30 ...be careful not to be ensnared by inquiring about their gods, saying, "How do these nations serve their gods? We will do the same."

31 You must not worship the LORD your God in their way, because in worshipping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the LORD hates.

Matthew 12:40

For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS in the heart of the earth.

Luke 23

50 Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man,

51 who had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea and he was waiting for the kingdom of God.

52 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus' body.

53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid.

54 It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath {THE FIRST DAY OF UNLEAVENED BREAD, NOT THE SEVENTH DAY (SATURDAY) SABBATH} was about to begin.

Jesus was buried before sunset; he rose 3 days later prior to Sunday morning.

John 20:1

Early on the first day of the week, WHILE IT WAS STILL DARK, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.

Resurrection Sunday!

i dont know where they got the term easter sunday. As far as i know it is the commemoration or Christ resurrection day, The bible does not even command Christian to commemorate the day.

Resurrection Day.

Zombie Awareness Day

the meaning or the TRUE meaning of Easter is the Resurrection of Christ. no other meaning. its not about bunnies and eggs and crap like that. it is the day of the Lord concurring sin and death. if we believe in the life the death and the resurrection of Christ we shall never die. our mortal bodies may pass from this earth but we shall have ever lasting life with our Father in Heaven

I don't celebrate Happy Ishtar (Easter). But I do celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus, as well as 50 days later the day of Pentecost.
