The real story...
The Crucifixion
The Resurrection!
The Easter Bunny
Easter Egg Hunts!
Egg Rolls! (Not the kind you eat!)
What do bunnies and rabbits have to do with Zombie Jesus?
Easter is based on ancient pagan festivals celebrating Spring and fertility!
And let us not forget that Jesus Christ was a Jew!
The Last Supper...
What in the world is a Passover Seder, you ask?
¯\_( ツ )_/¯
Thousands of years ago, the Jews escaped from Egypt.
But before they did, God supposedly warned them
that he would kill the firstborn of every household
that didn't have lamb's blood on their front door...
The Jews followed God's warning and thus their children were “Passed Over.”
So every year, Jews all over the world have a Passover Seder (or feast) to celebrate their escape from Egypt.
So, to recap, Jesus was celebrating Passover right before he was betrayed and then crucified. Then, three days later – on Easter Sunday – he rose from the dead and went to Heaven to hang out with his dad.
Today, many countries celebrate Easter in different
ways...
In the Czech Republic and Slovakia, men whip women playfully with a “pomlázka.”
In Bermuda they make special kites by hand...
And in much of Europe they set giant fires in various ways...
But most Easter Sundays end with a big feast and people eating too much ham.
The End!
