Is Easter Pagan
The Satanic Ritual of Sacrificing Children Every year, the priests of Ishtar would impregnate young virgins on an altar dedicated to herself and her husband*. The children were born on Christmas December 25, and the next year they were sacrificed on Easter Sunday at the sunrise service. The priests would take Ishtar's eggs and dye them in the blood of the sacrificed children.

How Can Celebrate Easter Anger God? (If you mix unholy with Holy it is blas·phe·my )
Now that we have just gone through the roots of easter the question remains, “How does celebrating easter anger God?” There is no doubt that the holiday has pagan roots which the LORD detests. Throughout the Old Testament, we see the LORD’s reaction to Israel’s constant falling away into idol worship and pagan practices. We are not much different than the Israelites. Why should we expect a different reaction from Abba? The Word says that God is a jealous God who does not tolerate idolatry. And even if you celebrate Easter with Jesus in mind, God does not receive this! Why? Because it’s a strange fire! Following a holiday with pagan roots, symbols, and meanings and then claiming it in honor of God is an abomination!
Celebrating Easter does not honor or please God even if we do it with the right intention. It was never established by God, so why are we so attached to it? Why do we go to great lengths to defend a holiday that angers Abba? Pride perhaps? Or our unbudging stubbornness in tradition?
In the words of Paul to the Romans:
“But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.” (Romans 11:5)And still, to this day, there is a remnant of followers of The Way who have made the decision not to be contaminated by the world. Who have proposed to follow God no matter the cost, no matter the fire, no matter the cold shoulder. Because being Christian is not easy and less even when you follow the entire truth- the truth that no one wants to acknowledge. Truth is never popular, not even in the church. But be brave brethren. Be humble. At the end of the day, we want God’s approval, not man’s.
Will you be part of the remnant?
The following article is based on J. R. Terrier's book "History of Easter - Hidden, Secret
Origin and Mystery Religion". Additions by Alexander Light, HumansAreFree.com; Easter is an annual celebration observed throughout the Christian world. There are absolutely no verses in the Bible that authorize or endorse the keeping of an Easter celebration. Further, the Bible says nothing about the practice of observing Lent, dying Easter eggs, having Easter egg hunts, baskets of candy, bonnets – and so on. Easter has long been known to be a pagan festival. America’s founders knew this.

"Believers don't care what the truth Is, or care what Yehovah desires from us. We are afraid of looking into, it because it will draw a line in the sand, we know we don't want to make those decisions because at the end of the day, we want what we want, we are comfortable with our lives we are comfortable out traditions that are man-made.
But you have a thought that pops into your head that's not what it means to me. The issue is it doesn't matter to you it matters to Yehovah He is the one being worshiped."
The problem facing the church is not that people lack a complete set of beliefs the problem is that have a full state of beliefs in mind, which they think are consistent with biblical teachings, and they are neither open to being proven wrong nor learning new insights. The bottom line is among both clergy and laity was indifference toward their acknowledged lack of evaluation" Barrna

The Day "Christianity" Overtook Christianity (Constantine vs. Passover)
To help others understand this perspective, it is often most effective to move away from modern traditions and point directly to the Biblical standard for worship.
When people argue that "Easter is for Jesus," the response from this viewpoint is typically that the motive doesn't sanctify the method. Here are the four primary pillars used to explain why this holiday is seen as problematic from a strictly Biblical standpoint:
1. The Command Against "Syncretism"
The most direct Biblical argument is that God explicitly forbids mixing His worship with the customs of other gods.
-
Deuteronomy 12:30-31: God tells Israel not to ask, "How did these nations serve their gods? I will also do likewise." He says, "You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way."
-
The Point: Even if someone intends to honor the Resurrection, using symbols originally tied to fertility deities (like eggs and rabbits) is seen as "incorporating the abominable" into the holy.
2. The Origin of the Name
While most languages use a version of the word Pascha (Passover), the English name "Easter" has no Biblical root.
-
The History: It is widely accepted (even by the 8th-century monk Bede) that the name derives from Eostre (or Ostara), a Germanic goddess of spring and fertility.
-
The Argument: If God's name is to be hallowed and kept pure, using the name of a pagan deity to title the most important event in history (the Resurrection) is viewed as a form of spiritual "compromise."
3. "The Way of the Heathen"
Jeremiah 10:2 says, "Do not learn the way of the Gentiles." This perspective argues that "Easter" as we know it is a man-made tradition that replaced the God-ordained Passover.
-
Passover vs. Easter: Jesus is our Passover Lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7). The early church kept the Passover, not a "spring festival."
-
The Argument: By shifting the focus to "Easter Sunday" (a date determined by the equinox rather than the Biblical calendar), the specific timing and meaning God established for the Messiah's sacrifice is obscured.
4. The "Golden Calf" Principle
In Exodus 32, the Israelites built a golden calf and called it a "feast to the Lord." * The Result: Even though they claimed they were worshiping the true God, He was furious because they were using a pagan image to represent Him.
-
The Lesson: This suggests that God is not honored when we choose our own "traditions" of worship, especially those borrowed from cultures He told His people to remain separate from.
