What kills me is that most people have no clue that Easter does not have it's roots in *pagan* religions...I have stated this before...there is no original religion...Chrisitianity absorbed alot of the pagan practices of the local folk they tried to convert, so the local folk would be more apt to convert to Christianity. The chruch "Christianized" the local practices.
Take this for instance...one of the many names for the Virgin is "Queen of Heaven"...another name for the Goddess, a religion that had existed for eons before a man named Jesus came along. The list goes on and on.
Here's a link of mine concerning Easter...all very interesting.
