I love the fact that the stories about spring are so linked to the female with their emphasis on moons and eggs.

The sight of the first green shoots of spring and the celebration of Pesach (Passover) as a holiday of freedom and renewal have always brought me a sense of joy.Tamarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15820235952600662107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30832682.post-28646813662017649812011-04-24T08:50:47.828-04:002011-04-24T08:50:47.828-04:00Absolutely lovely post, Joanne....

The word " Easter" does not have Christian roots. <br /><br /> Easter is determine by the first Sunday after the First full moon after the vernal equinox. This was the spring celebration that was also annex by Judaism. That is why Passover happens at the same time.

So many of the symbols of all our holidays date back to ancient Sumner. The egg, the reborn god, the meals of bitter herbs and spring lamb are all ancient and were certainly annexed by Christianity. But no matter because we know the source.Nancy Ewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116290968007398337noreply@blogger.com
