Catholic or pagan what is Easter.
Easter is in fact Catholic not pagan, it is the replacement for Passover, the Jewish holiday. Easter is about the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. That has always been the point of Easter. So where is the confusion coming from.
One misunderstanding, or lie, is that the etymology of the word Easter in English comes from a name of a pagan ‘god’. Catholics were celebrating Easter long before we spoke English. It is actually, from languages (Latin, Greek etc.,) that were commonly spoken by the church and has its roots from the word meaning Passover.
Another reason there is confusion, are, the bunnies, eggs and chocolate. This is confusing cultural celebrations with religious ones. We tend to forget that for most of history Catholics did not celebrate the rising of our Lord by eating chocolate or by letting a bloke in a bunny costume hide some eggs around our gardens.
Like most attempts to attack Catholics this is done either by accident, because of a lack of care or knowledge or deliberately out of malice, to de Christ or de Catholicise, Easter and to make people draw a wrong conclusion about Christ being our Saviour. There is nothing sinful about bunnies, eggs and chocolate, as long as you remember what Easter is about and you are careful not to put any importance on these cultural customs.
