The Story Behind Easter - What It's Really About

There's a whole lot more to Easter than just colored
eggs and chocolate bunnies. Sure, you know Easter's a religious holiday for
people all over the world - but do you really know how the day's traditions
came about?
Easter's Pagan Origins - Where the Bunnies Came From
Centuries ago, Pagan religions would hold a celebration every year,
after the Spring Equinox - or, when the sun would pass directly over the
equator. To Pagans, the Spring Equinox represented the end of winter and the
beginning of new life.
Many of these Pagan rituals still live on
today. In fact, it was during these celebrations bunnies were first
introduced. That's because part of the celebration revolved around Eostre -
a goddess who's symbol is the rabbit. Pagans were especially captivated by
Eostre during their spring celebration because bunnies are extremely fertile
in the spring. To Pagans, bunnies were clear examples of new life popping
up.
If you love the Easter Bunny, you can thank Eostre and the Pagans
for creating the concept!
Easter's Christian Roots
For
millions of Christians around the world, Easter has even more serious roots.
That's because it's a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
On Good Friday Jesus was put to death. However, two days later - on
Easter Sunday - Jesus rose from the dead. This resurrection is the basis for
most Christian beliefs and it's considered one of the most important events
in history.
To Christians, Easter Sunday is an incredibly important
day - even though it's celebrated on different Sundays every year.
So, how's Easter's date calculated every year?
It's done using the
lunisolar calendar - which takes into account the phase of the moon and the
time in the solar year. While the specific day changes from year to year,
Easter is always celebrated between March 22nd and April 25th.
Easter's Roots in Other Religions
While Easter is a Christian
holiday, people of other faiths have removed the religious element and use
the day to celebrate the beginning of spring. That's why you'll see
non-Christians taking part in Easter traditions - like Easter egg hunts and
chocolate bunnies.
So, What's Easter Really About?
The answer
to this question depends on your personal values and religious beliefs. If
you come from a Christian or Pagan background, then Easter has specific
meaning to you.
However, the beauty of Easter is that it means so
many things to different people - so it can be celebrated by people of all
faiths, all over the world.
