THE PAGAN ORIGINS OF ''EASTER.''
Is this a "Christian" Holy Weekend,
kept to honour the Lord Jesus Christ,
or the Pope's pagan festival?
Easter is a day that is honoured by nearly all of contemporary Christianity
and is used to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The holiday often involves a church service at sunrise, a feast which
includes an "Easter Ham", decorated eggs and stories about rabbits.
Those who love truth learn to ask questions, and many questions must
be asked regarding the holiday of Easter.
Is it truly the day when Jesus arose from the dead? Where did all of
the strange customs come from, which have nothing to do with the resurrection
of our Saviour?
The purpose of this tract is to help answer those questions, and to
help those who seek truth to draw their own conclusions.
The first thing we must understand is that professing Christians were
not the only ones who celebrated a festival called "Easter."
"Ishtar", which is pronounced "Easter" was a day that commemorated the
resurrection of one of their gods that they called "Tammuz", who was believed
to be the only begotten son of the moon-goddess and the sun-god.
In those ancient times, there was a man named Nimrod, who was the grandson
of one of Noah's son named Ham.
Ham had a son named Cush who married a woman named Semiramis.Cush and
Semiramis then had a son named him "Nimrod."
After the death of his father, Nimrod married his own mother and became
a powerful King.
