So how many of you are just worthless sheep that are going through the motions of Easter because it’s another one of those stupid family holidays… I know who you are and how you think…I was probably one of them… Yet my education has evolved and now it’s still a family holiday more than a religious one, I still respect the evolution of this fine time. See who knew a bunch of Aliens would bring stone statues and colored egg bearing rabbits to our planet on the same weekend. I just hope they are not taking notes from Martha Stewart.
Did You Know: The Celts, practiced a religion called Druidism which revolved around the beliefs in a many god mythology. It was believed that evil spirits captured the sun god and thus lay upon our planet the season of winter. Around the beginning of Spring, they would light up huge bonfires to frighten the evil spirits into releasing the sun, and have an another excuse to drink lots of Ale and throw slabs of beef and lamb on the fire. I’m surprised Nantosuelta couldn’t resist the play but ya know I really didn’t read that far into Celtic mythology. The point: The lighting of bonfires are still a part of Easter celebrations in some countries today such as in Germany and Belgium. Today, these bonfires represent the light coming to the world through Christ. Ironic how some Catholics took this ritual from a Pagan religion but I think humans are typically pyromaniacs.
If you don’t know what Easter is like for many multi-cultured Americans, here’s a quick education on Easter artifacts: which can give you a 5th grader explanation to all things Easter, rather than touching of the Christian importance/beliefs of renewal and new life after death. I’m all for new beginnings and it just so happens I believe in some form of resurrection, but it would take many beers and much more than a journal post to go that deep.
