Easter is an example of how gentile "christains" replaced jew festival/celebrations and defamed them in the worship of pegan gods (i.e. ishtar)
In this case easter is the corruption of the mandated jew passover (Pesach). This year Pesach is April 7 to 14 (April 6 to 15 for the fanatics), the first full moon after the vernal equinox (March 20, 2009).
When the goy (gentile) hijacked Christ's version of Judiasm they largely removed all the jew stuff and replaced that with made up "church traditions." They fabricated a nt (new testament) to replace the jew OT (Old Testament) and over the centuries nt red guards (those that insist EVERY WORD of the nt is true and accurate [like the chinese red guards used to insist about chairman Mao's red book]) have overlooked that most of the nt is anonymous and more than half of it is the dogma of saul (aka Paul) and actually misrepresent that dogma of saul as bona fide Teachings of Christ (i.e. saul was NEITHER a Prophet of G NOR a Disciple of Christ [one of the 12, actual ear and eye witness to the Teachings, public and private]).
Saul in the first century had one mission, to remove as far as possible the corruption of goy from his rabinic version of Judiasm (i.e. talmud) as he could by basically making stuff up (i.e. [Torah replaced] Law-free on saul's sayso) and trying to pass it of as his version of the Teachings of Yeshua (aka Christ). The true Disciples (Church of Jerusalem [i.e. James {Christ's brother} Peter and John]) actually sent jew missionaries after saul to instruct those desiring to know the true Teachings of Christ and tell those churches (in Turkey and Macedonia) that saul did not represent them nor valid Teachings of Christ.
Much of that has been covered up by the byzantine (greek) empire with their fabricated and cherry picked nt. The Eastern Roman Empire (byzantine Constantinople, 300 to 700AD) went out of their way to destroy all traces of other (competing) sects (i.e. Gnostics, Ebionites, Nazarenes) that followed authentic Teachings of Christ vs rcc substituting words of man and church traditions to replace all the jew stuff they could get away with. ref: Ebionite, Nazarene, and Gnostic.
But it comes down to how serious are you about your 'religion,' sort of an occasional dress-up weekend thing or serious about guidance through the actual Teachings of Christ toward Worship of G, the Father! (i.e. one does NOT worship Christ, one Worship's the One that sent Yeshua... G the Father... Commandment #1)
ps. Christ's name Yeshua (hebrew/aramaic) pronounced with an english accent is Joshua; (Yes just like the Joshua that took over from Moshe for the Hebrew invasion of Canaan.) His mother never ever called him gesus!!

Didn't read the wall of text, but I assume you said that Jesus was allergic to eggs, thus the reason we hide them.
Thanks

God told me to play it.
wow another ignorant a crazy useless fact geared by non factual research.
How rare on these forums
This thread is so stupid its not worth commenting on only for the exception on commenting how retarded it is lol.
There is a pagan religion called Ishtar for fertility but Easter is celebrated three days after good friday which is passover and the crucifiction of Christ which is noted by Josephus the Jewish historian and chronicler to current event in his lifetime. You may want to reread on some stuff first before blaming Gentile Christians for secretley worshipping Ishtar in place of the resurrection of Christ.
Crap..now I dont and explained myself and totally negated the fact i wont comment.

i agree with this jews should really work instead of sitting above and eatting eggs.
You call yourself "christain" but in fact you are not faithful to Christ and certainly not faithful to the G of Abraham, the same G the jews used to worship.
You misrepresent Christ as gezus (i.e. jesus) when in fact his name was Yehoshua, (Yod, hey, vav, shin, ayin) you distort the nt as holy scripture on par with the jew Torah when in fact it is a fabrication of the byzantine empire and largely anonymous...
(Mashiach from a jew pov and link)
and deceive the scripturaly ignorant that ALL the nt is true and accurate words of Christ when more than half of the nt is the dogma of saul.
Scripture expressly forbids the worship of other gods.
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me." Exodus 20:3
"And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth." Exodus 23:13
Yet, for some reason, many forget the idolatry of Yisrael's past and the resulting captivity. Somehow the rcc believes that they may mix pagan religions with G's truth and still end up with acceptable HolyDays for G. That did not work for Yisrael then and it will not work for believers today. G and other gods DO NOT MIX. G's OT (TaNaKh) festivals and pagan festivals DO NOT MIX. When you mix something unclean with something clean -- both become defiled.
In time, the early church became more Gentile, and the Jewish roots of the faith were removed. The majority of these new illiterate Christians came from pagan cultures. The early Gentile church leaders realized it was easier to gain converts to this new Christianity if pagan elements were mixed in.
Christmas attempts to incorporate the birth of Yeshua with the old pagan festival of Saturnalia:
Saturn* (mythology), in Roman mythology, ancient god of agriculture. In later legends he was identified with the Greek god Cronus, who, after having been dethroned by his son Zeus (in Roman mythology, Jupiter), fled to Italy, where he ruled during the Golden Age, a time of perfect peace and happiness. Beginning on December 17 of each year, during the festival known as the Saturnalia, the Golden Age was restored for seven days. All business stopped and executions and military operations were postponed. It was a period of goodwill, devoted to banquets and the exchange of visits and gifts. A special feature of the festival was the freedom given to slaves, who during this time had first place at the family table and were served by their masters.
Note Christ was NOT born in December!
Easter attempts to combine the FirstFruits resurrection of Yeshua with the pagan goddess Eastre:
Easter** -- a Christian festival, embodies many pre-Christian traditions. The origin of it's name is unknown. Scholars, however, accepting the derivation proposed by the 8th-century English scholar St. Bede, believe it probably comes from Eastre, the Anglo-Saxon name of a Teutonic goddess of spring and fertility, to whom was dedicated a month corresponding to April. Her festival was celebrated on the day of the vernal equinox; traditions associated with the festival survive in the Easter rabbit, a symbol of fertility, and in colored easter eggs, originally painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring, and used in Easter-egg rolling contests or given as gifts.
Sha'ul (aka saul) was the first evangelist to deal with pagans who were coming into the new faith, he too wrote about their attempts to maintain their old festivals:
"But at that time, having no knowledge of G, you were servants to those who by right are no gods: But now that you have come to have knowledge of G, or more truly, G has knowledge of you, how is it that you go back again to the poor and feeble first things, desiring to be servants to them again? You keep days, and months, and fixed times, and years. I am in fear of you, that I may have been working for you to no purpose." Galatians 4:10
The things of G cannot be mixed with the things of hasatan, or else both become unclean:
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Messiah with belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of G with idols? for ye are the temple of the living G; as G hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their G, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father to you; and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord, the Ruler of all." 2 Corinthians 6:14-18

The OP and subsequent useless post reminds me of the guy standing on the street corner asking me if I know that Jesus loves me.

Easter is an excuse to eat loads of chocolate and have a day off, don't really care about the rest.
O_o o_O
So what, if any, Church or Synagogue do you worship at? What if any denomination teaches these precepts?

As you all know (or should know), Religion is a sensitive topic.
Please do not let this get out of hand (IE Flaming, Trolling, Bashing).
I read the entirety of your first post and noticed that you didn't cite anything...and then I read up to the part in your second post where you said that the New Testament was written anoynymously and was a fabrication of the Byzantine empire....I stopped reading at that point, you clearly have no clue what you're talking about.
Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
It all goes back much before the Jewish religion. It's a celebration about the spring time, it follows the moon, it's a completely pagan celebration before religion, like christmas.
