WHY CELEBRATE EASTER? - Gerhard O Marx - March 1967

Gerhard O Marx

Is Easter really Christian? Here are the surprising facts! Can you believe it? The observance of Easter is never once commanded in the Bible! Don't take our word for it! Notice! "There is NO indication of the observance of the Easter festival in the New Testament!' So states the Encyclopedia Britannica, under article, "Easter." And, "The celebration of Easter does NOT appear in the New Testament" (A Dictionary of Religion and Ethics, Mathews and Smith, p. 140). Have you ever wondered what coloured eggs have to do with Christ's death? And what Easter rabbits and "hot -cross" buns have to do with Christ's resurrection? What about the name "Easter" itself? Do you know its origin and meaning? And what about Easter Sunrise services. How did a "Christian" world come to accept and celebrate Easter? It's high time you knew the truth about Easter. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
