Christians:Are you celebrating Easter?

As a Roman Catholic, how could I do otherwise. It is the biggest celebration of the year since it is THE REASON Jesus came to earth. God Bless you. After reading "MichaelB" 's answer, maybe I ought to be specific and say I WILL be celebrating Easter on EASTER SUNDAY, and it won't be hunting dyed eggs, rather, in a wonderful Mass at Church. God Bless you.

It's a Christian Holiday......

Of course we are but perhaps not in the way you're referring to. We won't b out hunting eggs; at least I won't and neither will my children or grand children. We'll be Church; where the resurrection of Jesus should be celebrated.

Trick question? Yes I am. Or at least from Easter Sunday.

Yes, watched 2 masses on TV last Monday night and Tuesday. Thursday night I watched the movie "The Last Temptation of Christ". Yesterday, I went to church for Good Friday and had a fish dinner (we aren't supposed to eat meat on Good Friday) Tonight, I went to the 2 hour Easter vigil at church and tomorrow will have family over to celebrate Easter (have a big meal, have family time and do an egg hunt for the little kids) and tomorrow night if I can catch it I'll watch "The Ten Commandments"

Yes! Celebration of Christ's Resurrection! =)

Yes.

Big fat NOPE!!! i don't celebrate pagan traditions. it's not a Christian holiday.

Easter is set by the first full moon after the vernal equinox. This is the one day in the year when day and night are roughly equal! It varies by more than a month over the years and so it simply cannot represent the date of anyone's death!!! It is in fact a combination of several pagan festivals most notably the spring festival. The name Easter comes from “Eastre” an Anglo-Saxon pagan goddess. Also the Norse goddess,Ostara who took her name from the Teutonic lunar goddess Eostre Even the Chinese have the festival of Ching Ming where flowers and sweets are put on their ancestors graves!! The egg and the rabbit are symbols of springtime and rebirth along with the custom of giving flowers etc!! The Venerable Bede, an early Christian writer pointed out that the Christian church absorbed Pagan practices when it found the population unwilling to give up the festivals. Thus a lot of what Christians now see as Christians practices are in fact pagan! Fun to watch the Christians worshiping a pagan festival though - makes it just like Christmas when they do the same thing!
