Easter Bunny, events renamed 'spring' to avoid offending anyone.

Posted: 2:25 p.m. Wednesday, April 20, 2011

In Boynton Beach, they are still bucking a national trend that is reducing the Easter Bunny to a "Spring Bunny" and Easter eggs to "spring spheres."

The city's senior center is hosting an Easter show and an Easter bonnet contest on Thursday . The senior center is expecting about 120 people for its popular festivities.

But by next year, even that might be gone.

"We'll probably be changing soon," said Ann Foster, a recreation specialist at the Boynton Beach Senior Center. "I've heard there is a lot of controversy. Now people say, 'holiday party' and 'holiday show.' I don't know where we're going with all this."

The quiet de-Easterization of the bunny seems to have surfaced about six years ago, in shopping malls and some cities. The Boca Raton Town Center mall sponsors a "Bunny Bash Extravaganza" and the "Spring Bunny" has been visiting the Gardens Mall for years.

Blessedly, the White House continues to call its annual event the "Easter Egg Roll."

This spring, in a new low for political correctitude, a private school in Seattle renamed Easter eggs "spring spheres" and Seattle's parks department removed the word Easter from all of its advertised egg hunts. And in the new animated movie "Hop," the main character is known only as "E.B."

Jensen Beach sidestepped the EB controversy years before it even arose.

"We've always called it the spring celebration or the winter carnival," said city recreation leader Lauren Mihalik . "We've just always been on the safe side."

At Jensen Beach's Spring Celebration on Friday, there will be 5,000 eggs and -- gasp! -- an Easter Bunny.

"Well, that's what he is," said Mihalik. "I don't know what else you'd call him. Mr. Bunny?"

In Delray Beach, it's called the "annual egg hunt."

"Of course, we never want to offend anybody, but honestly we haven't even thought about it. And nobody has called to complain," said Danielle Beardsley, the city's marketing and special events coordinator.

Palm Beach County Schools scheduled a "spring holiday" on Friday, which just happens to be Good Friday.

Further complicating matters is the fact that all this is much ado about a holiday that the pagans invented.

The very name Easter -- the holiest of holy days for Christians -- has unmistakable pagan roots.

Babylonians colored eggs and hunted for them, 2,000 years before Christ.

There was also the Anglo-Saxon goddess Eostre, often portrayed with a rabbit by her side. Eostre appeared in spring and her magical rabbit helped her to renew the earth by hiding eggs, symbolizing fertility and new life, in the grass.

By the time the Christians absorbed the pagan symbols, the Easter egg, with its chick pecking its way out, began to symbolize Christ breaking out of the tomb in resurrection.

Both the Easter Bunny and Easter eggs were later recycled by greeting-card and candy sellers.

For Episcopal priest Mary Ellen Cassini, the drift from "Easter eggs" to "spring eggs" might be a positive step toward separating the solemnity of Easter from its more sugary commercial aspects.

"We have to be careful not to make Easter a Hallmark moment," said Cassini, chaplain at St. Andrew's School in Boca Raton. "One time I heard someone say that you wouldn't see John the Baptist on a greeting card."

Jesus Christ was crucifed on golgatha. He died, and three days later he rose from the dead.

Good Friday is to celebrate his crucifixion, easter is to celebrate his resurrection.

The dates are likely not accurate, just as december 25th was not the actual birth date of Jesus. The pagan religions of the time kind of dictated dates in order to appease the pagan populations while these Christian celebrations were being instituted, howver the dates are not really important imo.

The bottom line is that as Christians, we use easter as a way to reflect on Christ's sacrifice on the cross, much like we use december 25th to celebrate the day he was born.

I really don't care who is what and when......what counts is the good feeling that you get from people getting together......but for the "Jews" of course.

[keehah]

Fertility is not much cared for by the destroyer's state imprinted memes to the next generation of drones it seems.

Bunnies branded to keeps things infantile, and breasts as porn.

Well I am FUCKING Offended by them changing it to spring! But as it seems white males are not anyone... as in no one!

I'm betting that the dates are pretty accurate seeing as how we have a canonical timeline given to us of the events that transpired prior to Resurrection Sunday, and the fact that Maundy Thursday was the Feast of the Passover, which has been celebrated at a specific time for thousands and thousands of years.

I'm fine with removing pagan symbols of fertility from the celebration of Christ's resurrection anyway. What do eggs, bunnies, and baby chicks have to do with it? Nothing. Even the word "Easter" is something I'm removing from my personal lexicon.

[Awoke]

I hear you. I was starting to type about how it doesn't really offend me anyways, but the explaination was getting too long winded, so I deleted it all.

Basically I see it the way you see it, The Biss. I am not offended that they are removing pagan symbology from Christian celebrations.

As far as the dates go, easter could be close as you say, but Christmas was based on another pagan holiday in rome at the time.

I say, if the "Christians" themselves don't raise hell about it then why should I? I have a feeling that they don't want to offend the "Jews'.......after all, the Bible came from them.

Ponce, read this:





To understand History, to understand the deeper meaning of current events, one must understand a fundamental fact: Jews are not the Tribe of Judah. Correctly, members of the Tribe of Judah are Judahites. That is, Judahites are of the Bloodline of Judah. Consequently, Jesus was not a "Jew," he was, correctly, a Judahite ("Yhuwdiy") of the Bloodline of Judah, a direct decedent of King David and an Israelite living in Galilee and so was a Galilean.

The idea that the Holy Bible and the Christian religion, if not wholly derived from "the Jews" then, at least, they owe them a great debt is one of the most pernicious lies foisted upon the world. The notion of Judaism being the "father" of both Christianity and Islam is not only very wrong but also very dangerous indeed.

It should be obvious to even the most obtuse intelligence that Christians did not get the New Testament from "the Jews," for it condemns the Jewish religion throughout its entire length. What about the Old Testament? Surely this is a Jewish book? No, and for several obvious reasons.

First, "the Jews" both as a people and by religion did not exist before the return from the Babylonian captivity, shortly after 536 BC. The great historian of "the Jews" Flavius Josephus (37-100 AD) wrote:

"So the Jews prepared for the work: that is the name they are called by from the day that they came up from Babylon, which is taken from the tribe of Judah, which came first to these places, and thence both they and the country gained that appellation. " Antiquities Of The Jews (Book 11, Chapter 5).

Rabbi Stephen S Wise (1874-1949) formerly the Chief Rabbi of the United States and a modern day member of the Evil Jewish Leadership confirmed this:
"The return from Babylon and the introduction of the Babylonian Talmud mark the end of Hebrewism [Yahwehism] and the beginning of Judaism [Pharisaism]."

Yea the dates are not accurate but off 9 months.
The birth of Jesus is actually, close if not, Sept 21. Dec 25 is close to when Marry was told she was pregnant with Christ from the angel.
This is all well documented in the Bible. Only thing you need is common sense to figure it out.
John the Baptist is Jesus Christ cousin and if you ever read the Bible where it tells of Mary just after the visit from the angel she goes to tell her sister (who's pregnant with John the Baptist) about the news John leaps in his mothers womb as Mary approaches. John leaps because John can feel the presents of Christ in Mary's womb.
Anyway the details of this time line in this story are written in the Bible to the month and to the day of when Mary approached her sister to tell of the good news. I forget the exact details but its so many months and days after some seasonal land mark that the angel visits Mary to tell her she with child. It works out to be right at Sept 21, if not Sept 21 using the calender format we currently use today.
And if you do the math based on Sept 21 you land on Dec 25 as the conception day.
Its all in the Bible people. Common sense goes a long way!
Basically Jesus was on this earth Dec 25 in the flesh as a fetis in His mothers womb.

Goes to show you that these abortionist are murders as a person is in the womb at the moment of conception.
Christ set the example of this yet again!
