April 20, 20251 yr Author 3 minutes ago, Confucius said: This is NOT what Easter is about. 😦 Well.... Technically, Easter is not about bunnies and eggs, either. “Easter” originated from the name of the pagan goddess, Eostre (or Ostara). Eostre was the Anglo-Saxon goddess symbolizing springtime, the hare and the egg. The festival of Eostre was celebrated on the vernal equinox, when there are equal periods of light and darkness. So..... Yeah. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

No, but it did celebrate rabbits and eggs, so you can see where the appropriation came in.... A quick check shows cats have many more holidays than rabbits, though.

April 20, 20251 yr Some perspective: Cats rid our houses and barns of mice.

April 20, 20251 yr Cats might even rid our dwellings of rabbits. 🙂 Hook Edited April 20, 20251 yr by LHookins Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
April 20, 20251 yr Was that a Wendigo at the end? Also, are we not allowed to mention that the Spring Equinox was traditionally a fertility festival? 😄 I don't know about anyone else, but I definitely celebrated cats. And the fertility of cats.

April 20, 20251 yr What does Easter mean? LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE!, as ABC always broadcasts the titanic match between these two guys:
April 20, 20251 yr Easter is Passover. Its still called Pasch or something similiar in many non English speaking country's. It's a common practice in church history to integrate pagan traditions, culture and seasons into the liturgical calendar and with solid theological grounds for doing so. It's a common gotcha that church haters like to throw out but to no avail.🤣 Intel Core i9-10900K at 5.2GHz, Corsair H115i PRO, ASUS MAXIMUS XII HERO Z490, G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 15-16-16-36, ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3090, SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2 2280 1TB x 3, Corsair HX Series HX1000 Watt PSU, Pimax Crystal LIght.
