I know it. But it gets crowded and I don't like being close to sick people. Though they make up some of the dates (such as Christmas), Easter is pretty well certain as being the day that Jesus died. The bible mentions that Jesus was crucified the day before Passover started, and in the evening the Roman soldiers had to break the condemned people legs so that they would not have to "work" during Passover. When they came to Jesus they found he seemed to be already dead, and so pushed a spear into his side to make sure. As they did so, blood and water came out.

The calendar day that Easter is celebrated is aligned with Passover, so it is accurate to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ at that time, if one desires. As far as having to attend a church service, that is entirely up to one's own wishes. I don't know what you mean when you refer to sick people in conjunction with Easter celebrations. Sick people are everywhere, and all year round! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shiloh357 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 They make up most of these important dates. I know it. But it gets crowded and I don't like being close to sick people. Sick people are everywhere. Do you not shop or have a job?? Easter commemorates Jesus' resurrection not His death. It doesn't matter if it is on the exact day or not. That misses the point. I can't imagine not wanting to join with other believers to celebrate the greatest single event in all of history. The resurrection is point of victor for Christianity.

It was not ordained of God. I LOVE Easter and Christmas, but there is nothing wrong with not observing them or simply observing it at home. Don't let your conscience bother you. Its totally fine.

While Christmas is stationary on the Calendar and nearly likely wrong ( but its good to have a date since I think having a day set aside for his birth is better than none at all ) Easter actually is even MORE wrong date wise. Easter jumps dates every year. Its never the same day twice. The only thing that remains the same is that it ALWAYS is on a Sunday. If we truly wanted Easter to be on the right day, we would celebrate it with the Jewish passover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
