I watched a Netflix show called “Equinox” about the Easter bunny myth and it was so good - very midsummer meets the wicker man loved it. ❤

Eostre's quite a puzzle, too, considering that Bede the Monk is the only one who had a written reference about the said "goddess".

Ostra- the Goddess of fertility was known to sleep in after winter, she found a dove frozen in the snow and felt guilty for being late to warm the earth. So to save the dove she turned it into a hare. Die to the transformation being rushed the hare still laid eggs but due to the magic, they came out with different colors each of the colors representing something like fertility, longevity, and wealth.

Then Chistians came along and made it about some BS about lent or some shiiz

I just think it’s funny when the web scientist come out the wood work to comment on him being wrong. When he had the courage to make a video about it to get the ball rolling.

German Eostre maybe, but it's more widely distributed than merely in the Proto-Germanic regions. Pagans from many parts of the world related the Hare to fecundity, and the Egg to the vessel that held future life.

In English paganism, the story of what is now called Ostara was that of the rebirth and of new beginnings after the death of winter. This concept pre-dated Roman and Germanic influences. During the rise the Anglo-Saxons, Germanic stories infiltrated the countryside and with it came Eostre, which the very recent Wiccan tradition renamed Ostara.

The proto-Germanic stories told of the Goddess of new life and beginnings (now called Ostara) happening upon a bird with a broken wing, laying helplessly in a field. Feeling sorry for the bird, she transfigured it into a hare so that it can make a rapid escape (on its hind legs, presumably), but she didn't know that the hare was carrying an egg. The hare lay the egg and offered it to the Goddess for saving its life... and thus came the tradition of the Easter bunny and its egg (courtesy of: Ginny Metheral, YouTube creator)

The original name for Easter is Pascha or פסחא and was celebrated in the 1st century.

Easter is a European word of Germanic origin taken from the pagan goddess of Eostre whose name is used for April when Pascha or פסחא is celebrated.

Eggs in Christianity carry a Trinitarian symbolism as shell, yolk, and albumen are three parts of one egg. The Christian custom of Easter eggs started among the early Christians of Mesopotamia, who stained them with red colouring "in memory of the blood of Christ, shed at His crucifixion".

The chocolate Easter Egg is an 18th century European tradition. The Easter bunny or hare is a 17th century German addition.

Mythwise, the winter solstice, the point at which the sun reaches its nadir, its re-ascent becoming apparent the third day following, would have been a far more logical time to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection - rather than his birth.
The primary reason it is celebrated in the Spring is because that’s when the author of the original account chose to have him have him make his sole excursion outside the environs north of Lake Tiberias (renamed “Sea of Galilee”) to celebrate the Passover in Jerusalem - and there to meet his death - and rise the third day following.
Subsequent chroniclers had no alternative but to follow his precedent.

Just want to clarify here that it wasn't Christians in general that made it a "Christian holiday" but rather Constantine, who tried mixing all religions together and since passover and eoster were close enough on the calendar to eachother, he put the two together as one holiday.

In a children's book, I once read that an old woman put some eggs on a stump for her grandchildren to find. When they found them, they saw a bunny hopping away from the stump. The children thought the bunny had put the eggs there, and the story of the "Easter Bunny" was born!

West Huff has disproven this claim. That's a word- association fallacy with the name of the goddess and Easter itself- they have 2 different language roots that are not in common.

Not only that, but not everything that Christians do to celebrate the Lord are "pagen"

Anglo and Germanic centric view point.Most languages do not call it Easter, the words they use for "easter " derives it from the Latin pascha (from Hebrew pesach).I do think that the association with bunnies on Easter is at least partially, pagan which is why i exclude it when iam celebrating "easter", i see the lamb as a far important animal on "easter" than the bunny could ever be.

I’m only a few seconds into the video and I’m already hearing a bunch of false statements. For many centuries before Christianity was adopted by the Germanic people, the festival we now call Easter in the English language was called various derivatives of the Greek word “Pascha”, which is the Greek word for the Hebrew word “Pesach” or Passover. This can still be seen today when things connected to Easter are referred to with the word Pascal. Easter is not a co-opting of any German festival, but rather is an adapting of the holiday of Passover. As Pascha takes place in the Germanic month of. Eostremonath, the German people probably began using the word Eostre to refer to it like we referred to Independence Day as July 4th. Either way, the celebration itself is not a co-opting of a pagan holiday, but rather of a Jewish one. This is the actual historical fact of the matter.

When Devine beings came along, some called them gods and some called them angels and now some label them as evil to fear monger and keep their followers of their own faith from seeking the truth…we are getting closer to who they are, they all came down to help us to be more civilised… Zoroastrian new year that starts in the first day of spring (using astronomy) also uses coloured egg as a symbol of fertility and many other items and symbolism dating back to over 3000 years ago…they do believe in god and say think good, speak good and do good, simple 😊
