THE EASTER BUNNY SURPRISE

I'M SURE IT WILL COME AS NO SURPRIZE THAT EASTER,LIKE CHRISTMAS,IS A
HOLIDAY THAT HAS PAGAN ORIGINS.WHEN THE EARLY CHRISTIAN CHURCH
HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE MASSES TO CELEBRATE THE EXACT DAYS AND
NAMES OF THE HOLIDAYS NAMED IN THE BIBLE THEY THOUGHT THAT MAYBE
IF THEY COMBINED THE CHRISTIAN DAY'S WITH THE PAGAN AND LET PEOPLE
CONTINUE TO PRACTICE THIER PRESENT GIVING AND EASTER EGG HUNTING
THAT IT WOULD HELP IN GETTING THE MASSES INVOLVED IN AT LEAST THE
THE SPIRIT OF THE HOLIDAY'S.EASTER REPRESENTING CHRISTS RESURRECTION
AND CHRISTMAS JESUS CHRISTS BIRTH.AND THIS DEVICE WORKED EXTREMLY
WELL.TOO WELL,SOME MIGHT SAY.SOME CHRISTIANS FEEL CONNECTING THESE
CHRISTIAN BIBLICAL DAYS WITH ANYTHING PAGAN IS NOTHING SHORT OF
BLASPHEMY.I DON'T FEEL THAT WAY.
LIFE IS EXTREMLY HARD.THESE FESTIVALS HAVE ALLWAYS BEEN A CHANCE
,ONE OF THE FEW WE HAVE IN LIFE,TO GET OUT OF OUR OWN SHADOW.I THINK
THAT ALLTHOUGH THERE IS EGG HUNTING GOING ON AND PRESENT GIVING ON
CHRISTMAS-THESE HOLIDAYS GO ALONG WAY IN GETTING PEOPLE TO REMEMBER THE STORIES OF THE BIBLE AND THIER TRUE MEANING-MAYBE NOT EVERY LIVING SOUL BUT I BELIEVE THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF CHRISTIANS REMEMBER THE TRUE INTENTION OF THESE HOLIDAYS;TO HONOR CHRIST AND GIVE PRAYERS AND THANKS FOR HIS BLESSINGS,TEACHINGS AND GUIDENCE-BUT MOST OF ALL FOR HIS INCREDIBLE FAITH AND THE FAITH HE'S GIVIN' TO US.
