CHRIST Our PASSOVER - Garner Ted Armstrong - April 1961

Garner Ted Armstrong

The greatest Passover since apostolic days is just ahead! Last year, some brethren "forgot" this commanded assembly! STUDY this article - and REMEMBER the Passover! "LET me color this one, Mommy!" said little Mary, holding a hard-boiled egg in her tiny little hand. "Mommy" was busily preparing Easter eggs for her children! In a short time, all over this Western "Christian" world millions of little children are going to greedily and excitedly search for "Easter eggs" at lawn parties, seeking to find the brightly colored and decorated eggs supposedly laid in little nests of grass by bunnies! WHY? What does it all mean? What is the significance of this greatest among "Christian" holidays? That's just it! There IS no real significance! The original significance of the egg, the rabbit, and other accoutrements of the pagan Easter festival have long since become obscured. People today do not understand the symbols that have become identified with Easter sunrise services - supposedly commemorating the resurrection of Christ! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
