Teen Bible Study: The Surprising Origin of Easter - Richard H Sedliacik - April 1985

Richard H Sedliacik

What do you think of when someone mentions Easter - brightly colored eggs, bunny rabbits, hot cross buns, Easter parades and sunrise services? Have you ever wondered whether these traditional customs of Easter have any logical connection with the resurrection of Jesus Christ? Few have ever thought about why they believe what they do - why they follow the customs they do or where those customs came from. Most grow up accepting the customs and beliefs of society without question. Just how and when did Easter originate? Does it really celebrate the resurrection of Christ? Was Christ even resurrected on a Sunday morning? Did the original apostles, whom Jesus taught personally, celebrate Easter? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
