No, I'm not trying to be blasphemous. It's just an idea that came to me about Easter in today's day and age. I don't know how many people really celebrate Easter for what it is, or if some people even know why we celebrate Easter.
The Easter Bunny seems to have become the new symbol of Easter, so I drew this kind of in the style of those old paintings of the Madonna and child.
The old masters did wonderfull work, no?

Easter was originally a pagan holiday to celebrate Spring and rebirth, but the Christians wanted conversion to be smooth, so they placed Jesus' martyring around the same date. And somehow the harvest became all about witches on brooms and Frankenstein's monster, but there's a reason for that too in different cultures. XD Humans have a problem with association.

NO, Easter was not for that reason... Jesus died on the cross (good friday) and rose from his grave three days later (easter sunday) therefore, the really religious freaks celebrate it as the rising of god on the third day. as for us, we just go have easter dinner with my grandparents, ot they come here, and we eat candy and junk food, and go on an egg hunt! lol... we used to go to church, but not anymore... omg is church boring!

We do pretty much the same thing - go to my grandpa's with the rest of the relatives and have turkey and junkfood and then sit around and talk and munch all day. :aww:
My ma and pa still go to church. I think they expect me to go with them tomorrow. :unimpressed:
