I successfully warded off Easter here. According to a commercial that just played on the radio it isn't Easter without a ham on the table.

I wasn't aware that Jesus had taken such firm measure to exclude Jews and Muslims from the day. He's apparently quite the ball buster.

I guess vegan Christians are just collateral damage (besides, they probably smell funny and Jesus probably has a really sensitive sense of smell).

Happy Easter, Happy Passover, and (Belated) Happy Ostara to everyone!

Oh, and Happy Sunday to the more secular bunch.

re: this thread's title

I was under the impression that it was the Roman church, 300 plus years after the early Christians, who co-opted the pagan holidays - and a brilliant PR move it was.

I just like the fact that so much fertility imagery has survived. It's all about sex and regeneration and stuff. Woo-hoo!

Plus, there's bunnies.

Well... "Early" is relative.

Yep - same thing with Christmas. Though I am a practicing Christian, I think it is evident that Jesus was born in the spring, but something else (winter solstice celebrations?) was co-opted as well.
