Easter observes Jesus Christ’s resurrection, making it the ultimate essential of all Christian holy days. However, now the meaning of the holiday is covered by colored eggs and bunnies. Easter can fall any day between March 22 and April 25 since is occurs the first Sunday following the full moon. Easter is also connected to the Jewish Passover in symbolism and it’s location in the calendar. What’s with Bunnies and eggs and Easter? Well the bunny is a well know sexual image of fertility. Religions associated with Babel link the rabbit with periodicity, both human and lunar. The Mother Goddess Semiramis (Easter) is linked with the moon. Therefore, the Easter rabbit characterizes the Mother Goddess and is linked with once a year Spring time fertility rituals worshiping the Mother Goddess. Colored Easter eggs are a part of the festivities too that came from the egg which was a religious symbol among the Babylonians. They assumed that a amazing size egg dropped from heaven into the Euphrates River from which the Goddess Semiramis was hatched.
It is something to think about how many of us honestly think about the correct meaning of this holiday besides the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It has expanded to be another retail holiday and over commercialized. However, it is a time for families to unite and celebrate the day.
