Why We Celebrate This day

With utmost respect, I know everyone means well when they say Happy Easter, and the sentiment is appreciated. But since we are in the great awakening, I want to respectfully take this opportunity to share something for Christians to consider... 

The single most significant event in the history of the human race took place on the first Sunday after Passover in about the year A.D. 30. It's the day what we are celebrating today; "Resurrection Sunday," or it could be called "The Feast of First Fruits."

The Easter celebration is pagan, even the name comes from a pagan god. It is quite interesting that in the context of the feasts, God gave this commandment to Israel:

"Now concerning everything which I have said to you, be on your guard; and do not mention the name of other gods, nor let them be heard from your mouth. Exodus 23:13 NASB

God told Israel not to even mention the name of pagan gods, but the church has a celebration that is named after a pagan god. In the fourth century, the Roman emperor, Constantine, issued the Easter Rule, which states that Easter shall be celebrated on the first Sunday that occurs after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox. So the church adapted the pagan holiday of Easter and celebrated it on the biblical holiday of the Feast of First Fruits. By doing this, the significance of the Feast of First Fruits was lost in all the nonsense of the Easter celebration. This day is not about bunnies, colored eggs, or dressing up; this day is about the resurrection from of Jesus.
